I'm finding this year that my concerns about Himalaya in the winter were more due to olfactory habituation (once you smell something for a while, your nose stops processing it) than anything else. I'm actually carrying it over into winter this year since I gave my L'Anarchiste to my brother because it smells great on him and I'm allergic to it.
If you really like Kirra, some to try are Givenchy's
Intensé Ultramarine Beach Boy, but if you like it, get a couple of bottles since it's a limited edition. If you want something wintery by Burberry, you can try
Burberry London for Men, it's a spicy, winter scent that could be described as a Christmas season scent. It's leathery, cinammony, and spicy-herbal.

Those are nice scents,
Aramis is a classic.
Aramis Always Him is new and smells both green and citrusy, with a hint of white musk. If they'e old samplers, the smell may have degraded and there's a good chance you're not getting as much fragrance and as deep a scent as you could. Try a sample card of a new bottle at the store and see if what you're wearing compares to the new bottle, you could be missing out.
As for scents being "OK," the only ones I really hate with a passion are Acqua di Gio (smell like 50% of the male population!) Cool Water and Curve (thanks for ripping off Green Irish Tweed, jerks!) Axe ("aerosol" and "fragrance" don't belong in the same product description unless it's a household cleaner,) and anything I've ever smelled with a celebrity's name on it (although Sean John's Unforgivable is good, it's a rip off of Milliseme Imperial.)
Also, as a side note, Eriwn Creed's birthday wish (Dec. 15) is that a portion of proceeds from US sales of Creed's new fragrance
Royal Ceylan be donated to the Natural Resource Defense Council.
