Delicate everyday fragrance with somewhat short shelf life

I'm currently looking for a fragrance that I've had in my nose a few times so far and that I've been very impressed by passers-by. The fragrance has been around for a while, but I don't know what it is. Then I was in a drugstore and smelled something that reminded me strongly of it.
Problem: I couldn't remember what it was.
Solution: I told dear BlaueMaus about it and we went on a search and are still looking/guessing.
Sequence of endearment: A bottle of Armani Code.
Spoiler: Great scent, but it wasn't him.

I remember that the really great fragrance contains orange blossom and vanilla. You have that here too, which is why Mrs. Mouse came up with the idea that it must be this one.
The first step has been taken and I think I'll find "the other one" again. If anyone wants to give me a tip, please let me know ;)

Now to Armani: The fragrance is really beautiful. It is floral and warm and not overpowering.
At least for me, it doesn't undergo a transformation. I think that's completely okay. I'd rather have a relatively consistent perfume that I like all the time than a fragrance whose drydown wears me out.
The Armani smells lovely and then disappears without a word and without much fuss. It doesn't cling too strongly to clothing and after showering, everything is completely gone that you could perhaps still perceive with great effort. But that doesn't have to be a bad thing. Not everyone likes it when their clothes still smell of a fragrance after washing. That's not a criterion for me, but the overall durability is.
Unfortunately, it doesn't last as long on my skin as I would like it to. After 4-5 hours, the magic is completely over - I would have liked more. That can be quite nice, but I prefer a fragrance to last a little longer. Especially when I'm in the office or have plans. It would be nice if it could last a little longer.

In addition to the warm vanilla and the floral orange blossom, the fragrance has something citrusy about it, which could be bitter orange. To my nose, I don't detect any unappealing notes. I tolerate the fragrance well, I don't get headaches, I don't sneeze and my skin tolerates it really well. For me, this is a harmonious composition that I enjoy smelling. However, I wouldn't buy the beautifully designed bottle.

I tested it in everyday life in warmer and very autumnal temperatures and found both to be suitable. The fragrance is rather close to the body and doesn't create a wave.

A nice companion for everyday wear (in the office), for sport (I haven't tried it) and for leisure. Beautiful, not intrusive, harmonious. I enjoyed using my bottle, but am not endlessly sad that it is empty.
