Which Should You Buy?
Molton Brown's Suede Orris is a subtle, creamy scent that polarises opinion. It promises suede and orris, but delivers a nuanced, clean floral with an unusual woody-balsamic touch. Don't expect a powerhouse; this is for those who prefer their fragrance intimate.
This one is a properly divisive beast, a love-it-or-hate-it affair. Some laud its unique incense-amber blend as stunningly beautiful and complex, while others find it metallic, boozy, and bordering on repulsive. Definitely not a blind buy.

Season and Occasion Fit
Seasons
Versatile across every season - no clear seasonal preference from wearers.
Occasions
Its gentle projection and clean, soft character make it suitable for office wear, or as a comforting casual scent. While not overtly romantic, its subtle sensuality could work for an intimate date. The lack of intensity generally renders it inappropriate for formal events or vigorous sport.
Seasons
A cold-weather scent - best worn in autumn and winter.
Occasions
Its strong, unique character and moderate to good longevity make it less suitable for a typical office environment where subtlety is often preferred. However, its exotic and luxurious feel makes it perfect for formal events and date nights, where its distinctiveness can shine.
