Which Should You Buy?
A gorgeous, deep oud that's smooth and approachable. It's a proper hidden gem, though finding a full bottle these days is a mission in itself.
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.

Season and Occasion Fit
Seasons
A cold-weather scent - best worn in winter and autumn.
Occasions
Its moderate sillage and long-lasting nature make it too prominent for most office settings but perfect for dates and evening events. The warm, deep oud and amber accords lend themselves beautifully to more refined and intimate occasions, though it can dress down for chic casual wear.
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.
