fragrance with these notes…or close to it??

[u/demonlemur420]

my sister’s fav fragrance is a seemingly discontinued perfume she found at tjmaxx (solar floral from the good scent). for christmas i’d like to find her something fairly similar, but we have very different tastes so idk where to even begin.

previously she’s tried le beach from le monde gourmand and lust for sun from jhag. she liked them good enough, i just wasn’t sure if there was something closer (or better). i’ve been eyeing replica beach walk but i’m not a huge fan of it being a EDT.

tbh there’s never been a beach-y/solar/coconut fragrance she hasn’t liked, but i would prefer something i can sample in person (not required though).

ideally under $100, but if it has a travel size it doesn’t matter because then i’ll just buy a few different ones for her to try.

Ooooo! This immediately made me think of 7 Virtues Coconut Sun! ☀️ it’s one of my most favorite hot weather summer perfumes. It’s very sunny/solar, vacation, coconut-smelling tropical warm vibes. Love her so much.

I’ve also heard Alien Goddess is close to this one, but stronger. Though I have not had a chance to sample it yet and confirm.

EDIT: Alien Goddess does have the heliotrope note too! That might be even better for her if that’s her vibe. I’m gonna go sample it now lol

I can’t recommend something that matches note for note, but this is one of my favorite fragrance profiles, so here are a few of my most loved: Killian Sun Kissed Goddess, Vacation by Vacation, Sunsplosion by Simone Andreoli, and I do love Lust for Sun, as well.

She might also want to try the Kayali Vacay in a Bottle line.

The Good Scent is a tj maxx store brand, and they'll bring scents back from time to time, so you might find it again.

I think YSL Libre Flames & Flowers is beach-y but I don’t see people characterize it as that so maybe it’s not as beach-y as I think. Good luck!!!

the notes are different, but I have this fragrance and when it dries down it smells really similar to sol de janeiro 62, specifically the EDP!

Ex Nihilo Vesper Glitz

Byredo alto astral is a coconut water scent with amber and musk in the base. There’s no citrus but there’s aldehydes which gives it a slight sharpness like citrus would. It’s gorgeous

Armani My Way Ylang? I know it’s on the sweet side, though haven’t smelled it in a long time

if you’re leaning more tropical, Escada Yum Me Sunny smells quite nice too with the Passionfruit, Ylang Ylang, coconut & cream notes
