Can you help me find this scent?

I purchased a small bottle of Clinique's Aromatic Elixir a few days ago. Having discovered a description of it on here recently, and loved the idea of it. It sounded quite like something i have been searching for - warm, winter, comforting, seasonal, mysterious.....

But it isnt quite right.
It is almost right. Painfully so. But not right enough.

It lives up to the description above, but i find it rather sharp, dry, a touch harsh on me. What i would love is to locate a creamier, perhaps a touch sweeter or less dry version of this type of scent. Im not fond of 'masculine' fragrances, either.

Not well versed with describing fragrance so hope that is enough!

@WeirdArchitecture you might like Cafe Cabanel by Teo Cabanel. It's the most beautiful cosy gourmand and was inspired by a Parisian pavement cafe. Vanilla, coffee, roses and raindrops.

Hi ! Not sure how long you been here searching... but I was going to suggest Cabochard ( but already been mentioned) cabotine is another good option from same company gres, but a lot greener smell.
Perhaps try Estée Lauder - Youth Dew.
This fragrance is a classic but stood the test of time... it's quite powdery leather mossy smell. Hope that helps

Another one for Youth Dew… it’s sexy and cosy at the same time

Have you smelt Coco Chanel? This would be worth trying.

I would try Clinique Aromatics in Black. It's warmer and softer than the original version.

Or White Patchouli by Tom Ford- this is spicy and creamy to my nose- the white flowers in it add the creaminess to the woody spicy base.
