Which Should You Buy?
Coromandel is a divisive masterpiece: some find it an elegant, clean patchouli with a gourmand twist, while others get a damp, mouldy blast. It's either an addictive, sophisticated experience or a hard pass, often smelling 'dated' or too 'religious' for some.
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.

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.
