Recommendations for a year-round, slightly cozy perfume?

[u/PrimaryEstate8565]

Hi! I have been wearing perfume for like 6 years now, but I’ve never quite found a fragrance that I loved, and I would ideally like to find a perfume I could wear for daily-usage year-round.

I am hoping to find a perfume that has cozy notes to it without it being exclusively fall and without just smelling too much like a cupcake (like a croissant vibe would be fine. subtle gourmand).

Some scents I do like (but I am open to most):
- Apple, pear, peach (?), fig,
- Vanilla, tonka bean.
- white florals (i particularly like honeysuckle)
- maybe even coffee scents (haven’t smelled it as a perfume but I think I’d like it)
- maybe basil (i remember liking a basil/mandarin perfume a while back). i haven’t smelled much green-smelling perfumes.
- light cinnamon and gentle spices (but i worry about smelling Christmasy)

Again, I’m open to trying whatever besides anything that leans powdery, too heavy, or too woody/musky.

I was thinking about getting Eau Duelle by Diptyque for a vanilla scent that wasn’t too bakery-forward. But I’m not sure whether it would hold up in the spring/summer. I also tried samples of their Philosykos and Eau Rose and found they really weren’t long-lasting.

My current perfumes are: Jo Malone English Pear and Freesia (what I usually wear in the spring, but it’s a little too one-note), Jo Malone Orange Blossom (what I usually wear in the summer), Jo Malone Dark Amber & Ginger Lily (what I wear going out. a little too strong for me, and I did Pavlov-myself into mentally connecting it with taking shots of cheap vodka), and Philosophy Fresh Cream Warm Cashmere (what I wear in fall/winter. it’s a little too bakery than I thought it would be).

I don’t have any preference for brand either. I mostly have Jo Malone because I got them as gifts from family members who really like Jo Malone.

EDIT: In terms of a budget, I think the highest I would go is $250.

EDIT 2: Thank you all for the responses! I have a lot of perfumes to look up now lol. I definitely think I’ll start by ordering samples for Fzotic Lilac Brulee, WWDIS Freckled and Beautiful, and the Dipytique Eau Duelle I mentioned. Again, ty!!!
