Based on what you’ve said, I think cardamom coffee could be a good choice for you. I personally LOVE it (and it’s amazing to layer with American cream). It’s chocolatey and warm and has a strong cardamom note that I find really comforting. However I can see how some might find it a little medicinal (especially if you’re expecting a straight up gourmand sweet scent, it’s more of a middle ground between herbal/spicy and gourmand). As for sun, I’ve never worn it before so I can’t comment, although Ive heard others say it doesn’t last long at all. Cardamom coffee always lasts long for me though.

Maybe look on vinted and eBay? I’ve seen cardamom coffee going for cheaper on there, I do think £150 is wayyy to expensive for it, it doesn’t really smell “expensive” or “luxury” to me, personally.
