Winter recommendations????

Looking for some warm, inviting soap recommendations; specifically from either Noble Otter or CBL (though other recommendations would be welcome, I'm trying to limit it to the aforementioned artisans to support the Cadre). I perused CBL, and am contemplating Smoulder, as the notes sound like a good winter scent. Haven't seen anything on Noble Otter that screams winter, but I am only going off scent notes. **To help you know what I consider "winter scents"; my go to is Blackwatch from Seaforth, as well as Seaforth Spiced. I also use PAA Cold Spices, and used to use Spices of the Sea from Wet the Face, but he hasn't been able to source a new fragrance oil for that soap, so it hasn't been available for some time, and I'm all out. I do use Pipe Smoke from Don at WTF as well. I have quite a few Christmas soaps, but I retire those for the year once New Year's hits, so I'm not really looking for Christmas soaps. (I do have Tis the Season from Noble Otter, and it's very good).
 
CBL Drinks n Daves is a winter soap in my den being boozy, smoky and leathery all at once. It lathers very well with a scent that lasts and i bought the after shave lotion with the soap and they pair really nicely.

Noble Otter is not a TSC supporting Artisan. You want to be looking for offerings from Brands to Markets (SV and Cella), CBL Soap, ETHOS Grooming, Mystic Water, Paladin Shaving, Stirling Soap, Cajun Blade, and Bullgoose Shaving.

Of those, here are my recommendations for winter scents.:

CBL Soap - Drinks N Daves, Dragon's Milk, Iron Throne, Russian Tea, Kresnik, Cedar Smoked Bay Rum, Roasted Oatmeal Stout

ETHOS Grooming - Dragonsbeard, Bay Rum

Mystic Water - Bergamot Cedarwood & Juniper, Brown Windsor, Cedar & Sage, Coconut Sandalwood, Egyptian Dragon, Frankincense & Myrrh, Leather & Smoke, Marrakesh, Oatmeal Stout, Orange Spiced TeaPoggio Dei Pini, Sardinian Honey, Sweet Briar, Vanilla Sandalwood, Vetiver Oakmoss

Stirling Soap - Too many to list
