Which Should You Buy?
A truly gorgeous, boozy amber-vanilla bomb that hits with warm apple pie vibes. It's a confident, rich fragrance that draws compliments, though some find it a bit too sweet or unoriginal. The performance is wildly inconsistent - some say beastly, others a skin scent, so beware of batch variations.
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.

Seasons
A cold-weather scent - best worn in winter and autumn.
Occasions
This amber-vanilla powerhouse isn't subtle, making it less suitable for the office. It's a fantastic choice for dates and formal events, often described as sexy and intoxicating. The warm, cosy nature also makes it a strong contender for casual wear in colder weather.
Seasons
A cold-weather scent - best worn in winter and autumn.
Occasions
With its beastly performance and strong, animalic amber profile, Orionis is far too overwhelming for office or casual wear. It demands a special setting like a date or a formal evening event, where its commanding presence can be appreciated without being intrusive.
