Which Should You Buy?
This isn't your average syrupy amber; Sel d'Ambre is a divisive, opinionated beast. It's a dry, mineral, and almost austere take on amber that won't be for everyone, but those who love it rave about its unique sophistication and depth.
This isn't for the faint of heart. Orionis is a beastly amber, animalic and intense, that polarises opinion. Some find it a masterpiece of opulent depth, others a challenging, even 'skanky', experience. Definitely not a blind buy.
