Favorite "texture" scents?

This past year I have been thinking a lot about scents that do more than just smell good. When I first got into fragrance I bought a lot of body mists and those often have a tendency to feel very "flat" - there's the 1-3 listed notes and then nothing underneath but alcohol if you get too close. The more I explored niche and indie brands (and even some high quality designers), the more my vocabulary for fragrance expanded beyond just listing the notes and determining whether or not I can smell them. Some fragrances feel dense, others watery or translucent, and others still might be humid or "icy". 

With all that said, I would like to know what everyone's favorite "texture" or "temperature" etc is in fragrance (or even just smells in general if you wanna get real abstract with it), and what fragrance that you have smelled struck you the most with the specific way in which it took up space?

I had a honey phase last year and I've noticed how viscuous and thick it is to my nose (if that makes any sense lol), and I can't help but associate honey to warmest scents, and will mosstly wear them during fall/winter. that's how it usually goes w/ most animal scents, but the viscuous, sticky/waxy, bitter, almost dirty yet yummy (citrusy?) nuances are sooooo specific and interesting, so full of contradictions
My best exemples are :
- Nectar Cacheté by Lorga
- Rêve de Miel by Nuxe
- Black Dragon by Byron
