Winter Perfume Suggestions for a Summer Fragrance Lover?

I have no fragrances in my collection that I would consider "winter" scents. I don't really like strong spicy notes or gourmands, I don't like overly sweet scents, and vanilla usually does not smell right on me. All my favorites tend to lean spring/summer-y: citric, floral, aquatic, fresh

This summer I wore Happy for Men Eau de Toilette , Versense , Cheap and Chic - I Love Love, and occasionally Eden

This fall I have been wearing Bergamot rag & bone

Any ideas what might work for me?

Then maybe the understated elegance of Guerlain or Hermes would suit you:

Angélique Noire

"Néroli Outrenoir | Guerlain"

Cuir d'Ange

Ambre Narguilé

Maybe you would enjoy some warm, woody citruses, like

Mandarine Sultane or Abundance V.8 .

Or a chypre warm lemon, like Vento di Fiori . This is one of my all time favorites, but you have to like tarragon, it has loads of it.

Non-sweet sandalwood/javanol fragrances could be also a good option, like Meander. Stash Eau de Parfum Elixir was a very good choice in this direction, not only pricewise,but it was sadly discontinued.

And how îs your relationship with patchouli? You could try Patchouli Eau de Toilette, I love that feeling of running through a damp forest.

Finally, I would recommend a non-sweet vanilla, like Vanille Insensée .
