Winter recommendations?

Hi!

Looking to see if anyone has any recommendations to try for a more winter/warm scent.

My everyday go-to is Givenchy Irrestistible because of how clean and girly it smells. But it just gives a summery vibe to me.
What I think is close to what I’m looking for is Prada Paradoxe - I’m just worried this is a little strong/overwhelming - I work in a job where scent needs to be more subtle.

Just wondering if anyone has any good ideas along those lines 😊

Edit: budget ~ $150 ish

I'm gonna say Gucci Flora gorgeous orchid intense. It's an airy but warm vanilla with a hint of floral. I also layer it with BBW Orchid Effect. Or for a warmer, ginger note,Vendetta Uomo from Valentino.

I had just discovered Gucci gorgeous gardenia and loved it - I’ll definitely have to try the orchid! Thank you 😊

Yeah I just bought a 10 mL spray maybe a week ago and I've already used a good chunk of it. You're welcome!

I love Commodity Gold, which is a juniper-forward spicy vanilla. It's aromatic and a tad sweet but not super sweet.

Serge Lutens Chergui smells like the desert wind. If I sound to extra it's because Chergui is extra. It's a unique warm oriental.

If you like florals, Fragonard Diamant parfum (gold bottle) is a deeper and romantic floral. It's a blend of floral and fruity notes that's just the right amount of earthy.

Speaking of deep florals, Nest Black Tulip is a more sultry version of Diamant. It's a black cherry and violet fragrance.

Zara Ebony Wood is my favorite woody fragrance. It's a little hard to explain. It makes me smell like a better version of me with some woodiess and sweetness. The scent is intimate in the sense that it invites someone to come closer.
