And the other day, vintage Joy really hit the spot - it is really wonderfu for winter. Also agree with those who mentioned Niki. Many thanks to the authors and commenters all for lists and ideas!

Caraway isn't my favorite taste, but I'm intrigued enough to order a sample. A week ago I would have been tempted to plunge in head-first with an eBay bottle, but my unsniffed bottle of Cashmere Mist arrived yesterday and despite my proclaimed love of the cream, was a true-blue scrubber. I waited it out hoping the musk would back off a bit and let the other notes emerge, but after 4 hours I couldn't stand it any more. I even have to wash my bathrobe that carries a faint whiff. Go figure. Seemed like a sure thing, but I've learned my lesson. Can’t wait to try it! Caraway isn’t my favorite taste, but I’m intrigued enough to order a sample.

It's unusual. Everybody's got a neroli, and they can be too sweet, or citrusy, or just plain not all that interesting. Portofino's a thing that reminds me of nothing else I own. And okay I cling to scents, but this lasts beautifully, not like an EdC. I went back to look — what I like about it is the almond/caraway bit in contrast with the neroli. It’s unusual.

I had only ever tried it in the summer and didn't like it one bit, but in the winter I love it!! Won't displace No 5 as my all time favourite but it is coming close! Have also been enjoying PG Corps et Ames this winter. Not quite sure what I am craving with those 2.....? Also in heavy rotation have been Guerlain Angelique Noire, YSL Cinema, and Chanel 31 Rue Cambon. All quasi-cozy with an edge or a twist that make them unique and cuts down the cozy to a whisper. Thanks for a great post - I do love reading the 'best of' posts, including the comments. Much to my surprise, Chanel No. 19 has been one of my winter loves this year.
