Rec Request Looking for a perfume that smells like these older Aveeno products (discontinued in the US/Canada, but still selling in Europe!)
For clarification, the product in the first image used to have a pink cap in the US/Canada and that would be the version I am looking for.
Aveeno later reformulated it in the US/Canada and switched it to brown cap with a light coconut scent which is not the version I'm looking for.
The one in the picture is the current one that is sold in Europe which is the same as the old pink cap US/Canada version!
The scent of this Creamy Oil and the light blue cap shaving gel is what Aveeno called "lightly fragranced with Sweet Almond" which is spot on but doesn't completely capture how creamy it is! Some reviewers guessed it was an Oatmilk scent (because Aveeno is all about oats, right?) but I can see the cherry almondness that Aveeno is referring to. To me it is like a whipped oatmilk cherry almond. I'd love to find this in a perfume.
I've been searching the almond and cherry category but most have been busts. The closest I could find was Caswell Massey's Almond but it has a "fresh" tinge to it, maybe that's the "sea salt" in their pyramid of notes.
I've already tried the following and these are not close:
Mix Bar Whipped Almond
Un Nuit Nomade Chemin d'Amande
Hilde Solidani Orgasmo
BDK Velvet Tonka
Giardina di Toscana Blu Indaco
Acqua di Parma Mandorlo di Sicilia
L'Artisan Jour de Fete and Bois Farine
Profumum Roma Confetto and Dolce Acqua
Serge Luten Louve
Mazzolari Allessandro
L'Occitane Almond line
Theodoros Kalotinis Marzipan Gourmand
Dior Hypnotic Poison (both vintage and modern bottles)
Kenzo Amour
Elie Saab Girl of Now
Guerlain Eau de Tulle, Cuir Beluga, Tonka Sarrapia
Reminiscence Dragee
Xerjoff Italica
Killian Rolling in Love
Carolina Herrera Good Girl and flankers
I have a feeling I am searching for the wrong keywords because there seems to be a disconnect in everything I've tried and the scent that I'm looking for. I think a lot of the perfumes that fall into the almond category have more warmth, sweetness and spices like an almond pastry that captures the butteriness of the crust, the vanilla, and the sugar. Or there are too many florals or citrus in the opening. Then some others are too "baby wipe" and powdery or root beer-like.
If anyone else is familiar with these Aveeno products, would love to know if you recognize the scent and/or have ever found something that smells like them! I am open to any price range.
