ABC's of SOTD

I've been working on some ideas to make it fun to go through my collection for SOTD's. I generally prioritize samples, and I'm trying to go through as many of them as I can, so I've managed to accumulate a lot of them.

Moving into April, I'm going to start going through the alphabet and picking one seasonally appropriate fragrance from each letter to use up until it's gone. I'll start with a number group (any brand whose name begins with a number, like 19-69 or 5 Sense) and then proceed to A, B, C, and so on.

So far, here's what I've tried:

19-69 - Higher Peace. A very clean laundry/linen scent that goes perfectly with the warm weather in the spring. It has marijuana listed as a note, but I don't pick that particular note up. Instead, I get clean, fresh linens after hanging them in the sun to dry.

Al Haramain - Haramain Amber Oud Gold Lux. A BR 540 Extrait clone. This came with an unsolicited press kit that I received. I am not a fan of BR 540, and didn't know that this was a clone of it. It's overly synthetic, super sweet, extremely loud, and I can still pick it up on my skin today, 24 hours later, after having slept, showered, changed clothes, and sprayed another fragrance on. This is absolutely not the kind of thing I enjoy, so it will be going in my "sell it" box. If you're into this fragrance, hit me up.

Buchart Colbert - Lutin Errant. I'll be wearing this one until the sample runs out. It's woody, earthy, with a little amber sweetness (though honestly, that could be leftover from Gold Lux). It's a bit dark and damp for the spring, but it still works well with the season. I don't think it works well in the Summer, though.

So I need help picking the rest of the alphabet.

Here's what I'm thinking:

C: Chanel Bleu de Chanel L'Exclusif

D: Diptyque Fleur de Peau

E: Ellis Brooklyn Blonde Musk

F: Franck Boclet Cocäine

Any recommendations moving forward?
