Which Should You Buy?
This is a seriously polarising scent, much like a boozy cherry liqueur that you either adore or quickly regret. Some find it a masterpiece of dark, woody cherry, others are repulsed by medicinal or artificial notes. Definitely not a safe blind buy.
Leonis I is a confidently woody-spicy amber, with glimpses of animalic oud. It's a majestic wear, though the performance might be a bit fleeting for some, especially given the price point and alternatives out there. Definitely not for the faint of heart or the light of wallet.

Season and Occasion Fit
Seasons
A cold-weather scent - best worn in winter and autumn.
Occasions
Its bold projection and strong, dark, and often boozy cherry accord make it unsuitable for an office setting. However, its sensual and mysterious nature, coupled with good longevity, makes it perfect for a date night or a sophisticated evening event. It’s too heavy for casual daytime wear.
Seasons
Versatile across every season - no clear seasonal preference from wearers.
Occasions
While an Extrait, the "poof and then it was gone" comment suggests office wear might be acceptable, but its bold, luxurious, and slightly animalic profile leans heavily towards evening and formal occasions. The pronounced sillage from other reports also makes it less ideal for close-quarter settings like the office.
Similarity Breakdown
Both share Woody, Amber, Warm Spicy accords and Frankincense, Cypriol Oil Or Nagarmotha notes
