I know you said you’re done testing Roger et Gallet, but have you tried Cassis Frénésie? I got it because of the comparisons to Diptyque’s l’Ombre dans l’Eau, which is a long-time love for me. It has a very similar vibe but it’s softer (it doesn’t have the almost spicy kick that I get from the Diptyque) and for some reason smells to me like it has honeysuckle in it, even though that’s not listed in the notes.
Also, thanks for the warning about Monotheme and orange blossom! I’m also sensitive to it and I don’t like neroli (although some of my favorite fragrances have petitgrain). I’m still trying to decide whether or not to declutter my only Monotheme - Tuberosa. It’s very, very bubble-gummy.
I have to say the gingembre ( not rouge ) has warmth but again not much ginger. It's one I'd happily wear again though but not tried the rouge and possibly won't. Bought Still by JL btw after watching your previous video however I haven't opened yet as it's so cold. Fingers crossed for that one.
What beautiful bottles!! Elizabeth Arden Mediterranean smells medicinal to me, and I love the bottle (and the price).

Still is my SOTD, but as much as I like it it does turn to a skin scent almost before I'm dressed.
