I'm looking for a winter fragrance but I can't decide. Need help 🙏

So I'm looking for something like Gris Charnel, something that is REALLY woody, but doesn't feel dry, something creamier, rounder and sweeter, but with a touch of a sensual, masculine vibe, notes I really like are spices, leather, fruity and some floral notes like jasmine, violet or different exotic flowers like Marigold. 🤔

    Are you open to a boozy, spicy vanilla? Look into Frustration from Etat Libre D’Orange, same designer as Gris Charnel. Huge compliment-getter—fantastic to spray on the shoulders or arms of a winter overcoat while wearing something else complementary on skin. Another that might be closer to your ask is Centaurus from Creed.

      Oh, and more on the spicy-leathery-woody end would be Halfeti, but it doesn’t get the creamy aspect.

      I like boozy, yeah I can do that, I'll check it out, thanks. 🙏

    Elise Loves Smells on TT has a video about this! She suggests East Coast by Botanica, Supernova by Andrea Maack, and African Rooibos by Chris Collins. Good luck! 🇵🇸

    I have and love Gris Charnel (extrait). If you haven’t already, you might try Iris Malikhan. I don’t like most iris scents, but this one I love.

      Interesting, I'm also not a fan of Iris or Orris but I do like Gris Charnel, I am looking into getting a GCExtrait sample, I'll keep an eye out for Iris Malikhan

    I am not familiar with Gris Charnel but Teriaq Intense is sooo good! It is warm and sexy and slighty boozy. I can't wait to wear it in the cooler months. Another one is BBW Oud Suede. I am nottm really an oud fan but this is another warm ever so sexy scent. If you like Middle Eastern scents you will most likely enjoy this one.

      I do like a bit of Oud myself, thanks for the recommendations 🙌

      BBW has 3 on the Pud Collection...Oud Suede, Oud Vanilla and Oud Berry. Keep in mind that this ia BBWs take so I don't believe there is any actual oud oil used. But all 3 are unisex in my opinion.

    I would say Le Labo Santal 33. Somehow I find Gris a bit cloying, very hard to explain. But le Labo is a very very smooth with a similar profile.

    1. rodrigomorr

      Does Santal 33 have some sweetness to it?
