Hey brothers, I’m looking for a rich, warm spicy scent to add to my cooler weather collection. Fragrantica lets you search by specific notes but not main accords like “warm spicy”, so I could use some crowdsourcing help. Ideally a designer or accessible niche (not crazy expensive but not a cheapie/dupe, and not too challenging). I‘ve got tobacco and vanilla focused fragrances pretty well covered - l don’t mind some sweetness in the new one, but I’d love more depth and richness that doesn’t go in an overly sweet direction. I like amber, woods and spices, but leather, oud and boozy notes can be a challenge. Iris, Rose, Plum, Florals, Almond and Oud notes are a hard no. Any suggestions? What’s your favorite? In terms of cooler weather frags that have a Fragrantica “warm spicy” accord at or near the top, I have and love: - TF Noir Extreme, Oud Wood - ATH Tabac Extreme - Swiss Arabian Incense 01 - Lalique Ombré Noire - Boss Bottled Absolu - YSL La Nuit EDT Here are some near misses I’ve tried: - Sauvage Elixir: comes very close but I don’t love the licorice and maybe the nutmeg. Same for Gisada Ambassador Intense - Spicebomb Extreme: nice but I get something like a strong cumin which I don’t love. Don’t love the other flankers either - Bulgari MIB: nice but something about it (the leather, I think) doesn’t work for me. - Oud for Greatness: I really want to like this one but don’t think I can get past the earthiness - Blonde Amber: comes close, but it didn’t blow me away for the price - I have yet to find an Amouage warm spicy scent that I like… Boundless, Decision and Outland are no’s What’s your favorite? What should I try out?
