My Body Shop fave got discontinued - help me find a dupe 😭

Claudiaton | Perfumes & Brands

... About 15 years ago, I bought a bottle of "White Musk Libertine (Eau de Toilette) | The Body Shop" and now I'm on the last few drops. It's long been discontinued, but I haven't been able to find a scent quite like it. I've tried musk after musk, but there's a particular note in White Musk Libertine that I've not smelled since. I'm not enough of a pro to know what exactly that is (I mean, what the hell even is Lokum...) Hoping someone here can help me in my quest 👀

Budget friendly frankincense

Claudiaton | Perfume Recommendations

... Thank you all so much for your suggestions, all of these sound so intriguing. I ended up ordering Ciara 100 online based on @DRKSHDW's suggestion, since the others are a bit too pricey to blind buy so I'll be hunting down decants for those. Ciara arrived a few das ago and it's such a fascinating scent, so unashamedly vintage (btw what is the note/accord that makes it smell vintage?). I like Old Things in general (vintage clothes, furniture etc) and this fits right in. The incense in that one is definitely more reminiscent of hippie shops and incense burners than Catholic mass, but I enjoy that as well. A different facet of this note. Still so much to explore.

Budget friendly frankincense

Claudiaton | Perfume Recommendations

... Still new to fragrance and trying to figure out my own preferences, but I realised that what I love about both "Raghba | Lattafa / لطافة" and "La Collection d'antiquités 1505 | Lattafa / لطافة" is that persistent note of frankincense in the drydown. So now I'm after more. In both of the abovementioned perfumes, the frankincense is blended with sweet notes but I'm ready to explore anything and everything with that note, from the subtle and office friendly to the full Sunday Mass experience. Has to be budget friendly, though. Not necessarily Lattafa level cheap but I can't afford to splash out on Niche just yet. Also needs to be available in Europe. Feminine or unisex preferably though I'm happy to try out men's fragrances if they're not too sharp.
