Lost Americana

This perfume makes me sing "diddly diddly dee, dee dee dee" whilst jumping up and clicking my heels together, like an enthusiastic, ecstatic chimney sweep out of Mary Poppins. What a surprisingly wonderful perfume Lost Americana is! Fuck me! I was not expecting this to be so frigging excellent - it was a total blind buy after reading positive reviews on here, and thinking that the title of it was quite interesting. I found the perfume brand new on Debanebanebanams' website for a meagre £21!!! I have absolutely no idea who the (c)rapper is that has put their name to it; seeing "signed" versions of it going for big £££s on eBay had absolutely no effect on my desire to give it a whirl. If you are a fan of that (c)rapper (because everyone knows that the word "rap" is spelt with a silent "c" at the front) then you could have been disappointed by it's lack of edgy-ness, but as someone who purely hunts for good scents, Lost Americana is timeless and absolutely beautiful. It smells complete, bold, fresh, vibrant, and familiar all at the same time. Not many perfumes are able to do that. Lost Americana has replaced Notes Jazz as my go-to fragrance, that I wear when I don't know how I want to smell. It has so many interesting components, that make it suit any mood of mine, and I feel it can be worn at any time of day, in any season. It is safe to say that I am head over heels in love with this fragrance. It can do no wrong in my eyes. 10/10. Fucking yes please!

Dossier was one of the first brands I got myself when I first started my journey into collecting.. now I was gifted colognes here and there but when I started my own journey dossier was one of the first brands I bought (minus dior sauvage haha) but this is one of the best dossier sense in my opinion.. it has everything you could want phenomenal smell... longevity is excellent 10 plus hours...you radiate with this one but in the best way possible... Not cloying just a beautiful fragrance all around...mgk and dossier should be proud .!! Also if you're looking for other dossiers to try I recommend Amber cherry(lost cherry inspired by) ambery saffron (bacarat rouge 540 inspired by)( also layer them together...thank me later!) Musky oakmoss is a personal fav of mine! Blind buy safe if the notes resinate with you And even if they don't I don't think you will be disappointed

I’m not a huge fan of MGK, I like his older music than most of his newer stuff, but I saw his ad for this and my curiosity was instantly peaked, especially by the note breakdown. I’ve had the fragrance for over a month now, so it has had time to macerate, although scent profile hasn’t changed all that much, it has just gotten stronger and longer lasting. It’s a definite easy grab for me, it’s a winter/cool weather heavy fragrance. I’d even say a good night out fragrance due to its uniqueness. It’s a very beautiful warm and spicy fragrance, with a good amount of nutmeg, almond and cinnamon. Slightly gourmand but not fully. Chocolate and vanilla is there, but not overpowering to me. It’s a hard to describe for me, but I think it’s sensational. Overall: 8/10 Longevity: 8/10 Silage: 7/10

On my skin I get an initial burst of sweet, chocolatey, spicy pipe tobacco. It's the perfect blend of sweet tobacco to me--not an ashtray and not cloyingly sweet. After a few minutes the smoky incense rolls in. This is why I feel it leans masculine, but could still be worn by anyone. Can't comment on longevity as I just got it but I notice that I keep circling back to smell it, and it seems like a solid performer. Seems like MGK is polarizing but don't let his name being attached scare you away if your opinion of him is negative. I feel this will be in heavy rotation for me this fall & winter, amd possibly into the spring.

It cracks me up that this is apparently connected to MGK. I had no idea until reading reviews and then looking closer at pictures of the full-size bottle. If I had known that before, I might not have purchased this just because I have a poor impression of this particular celebrity and I wouldn't really want to smell like him. All that said, this is a lovely scent! Someone below nailed it with "cigar box". It' chocolate-y leather and incense, but pretty, sweet, and soft. This is a more polite, understated version of a scent profile I'm frequently drawn to.
