I want a new scent, a little sweet, but not ott

Something I can buy a sample of? I've made a note of sample sites listed on another thread, but unsure what to try. I'd like something warm and comforting, suitable for winter. Maybe with a hint of ginger or cinnamon? I used to like Flowerbomb, but after a while found it too sweet. Also used to wear JPG, classic. I quite like Armani Si.

Any suggestions welcome!

Today's sample is Black Opium. I wasn't sure if I would like it, thought it might be too heavy, so far I quite like it though, although there's something in it I'm not sure about. I'll see how it goes through the day.

That's exactly how I feel about black opium OP, it's just not quite right. Have you tried black orchid by Tom Ford? It's £££ but so bloody lovely. Black opium smells to me like a poor imitation of black orchid, it's like Tom Ford found the missing ingredient and perfected it

I think jo malone myrrh and tonka might fit the bill. Personally it isn’t my cup of tea but I have smelt it and think it sounds as you described xx

Thanks, I'll try and find a sample.
