My niche fragrances are GFS, Percival, Sedley, Renaissance, Mefisto and layton which probably works for winter but I'd like something else

You see i obviously lean to more mass appealing fragrances that project for long and are wearable anywhere but not that unique . I need some for winter now. At least 2.

I'm eyeing side effect, carlisle, naxos, oud for greatness, rehab, grand soir, straight to heaven, dark lord. Any of them for winter signature scent? I work in a big shop and move around, not office. Black outfit, I like dark vibe. What's your recommendations if those im eyeing don't work?

I would highly recommend Oajan by PdM. It’s a fantastic fall/winter fragrance. I have sampled almost every fragrance from PdM, and Oajan is my favorite, after Herod. I purchased full bottles of both Oajan, and Herod, and they are both excellent.

In THAT list I actually like Dark Lord. Now, it is NOT what I'd call mass appealing. It's odd and yes it has a very dark vibe. Kinda skunky, dry but distinctive for sure.

There are plenty of good winter designer fragrances too, just saying. But a couple niche house frags to check out are:
  1. Sundowner - Tauer Perfumes
  2. Enigma Pour Homme <Parfum Cologne> - Roja Dove

out the ones you listed would be side effect, ooh for greatness and grand soir.

If you like big fragrances, which seems to be the case in this genre, I would also add oud, oud silk or old satin mood to the list and, if you can get a hold of them, any of the merchant of Venice MURANO EXCLUSIVE collection.
Arabesque is a stronger and longer lasting fragrance similar to Herod. Liberty, craquele and vinegia 21 are more masculine leaning fragrances that you'll probably like from that collection. I love Rococo and Fenicia too.

Also adding LM Black Oud and Songe d'un Bois d'Ete (in spite of its name, actually not a summery scent apart from a certain almost fiery sensuality and a hint of scorching desert heat, in fact far more rich, wintry scent with a richness of dark spicy and rose hints).

In your list I would highly recommend Rehab for cool weather. I love the lavender opening but pretty quickly you get a number of different woody notes.

However do yourself a favor and get yourself a sample of Interlude Man. I am loving it for cooler weather.

Have you tried any of these? If not, try them first for sure.
If you have tried and you like them all, it is hard to recommend because they all work great for winter (my preference would lean side effect and naxos). Now, for the dark clothe vide I don't know. I find Naxos very luminous and would almost associate if with clean white shirts. Grand Soir I don't like, why too sticky sweet. Oud for greatness is not my jam (although I do not dislike it) but might fit well the bill.
