Evening Fragrance

Gents,
I'm in the market for an evening or occasion fragrance such as if it's black tie or just a particular fancy evening.
I've always had just the one aftershave which I've worn at all times but have decided to opt for something a little less conservative in the evening because why not?
What I'm unsure of is what, if any, smells or constiuents comprise an evening frangrance? And I'm not talking beer/wine, cigarettes etc.
The only online resource I've discovered with suggestions is this GQ article:
https://www.gq-magazine.co.uk/article/best-black-tie-fragrances-for-men
I'd prefer to keep it under the £200 mark, ideally £100 to £150. Tom Ford has some lovely men's fragrances which I have worn in the past but they and Creed don't come cheap so I suspect if I want an 100ml EDP then I'll have to look elsewhere. I am considering Floris currently.
Any suggestions are much appreciated. -{

Yes but my martini's still dry.

Bond: “I must be dreaming.”
There is a tenuous connection between Fleming and #89, but it’s more associated with Churchilll. Floris capitalises on the Fleming connection with #89, but the only record they have of him maybe using it, was due to the fact they sent him some amongst other products, as a gift after he promoted them in DAF. #89 is never ever mentioned in the books. And Fleming never actually attributes Floris as a brand Bond personally uses himself.
That aside, Floris is a superb brand. And I’ve floated through the use of Santal, Elite and even #89 in the early years (women don’t appreciate its old fashioned blend). But they have updated #89 slightly to be more contemporary and their line has become more diverse. You can’t go wrong with them or Penhaligons. Both have a rich and long history. And compliment each other very well.
