Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Suede Orris
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.

Our Verdict - Pontevecchio
This woody aromatic is a divisive one - some find it a gorgeous, refined Italian scent, others find it too old-school and generic. Expect clean, fresh woody florals with a hint of incense, but be prepared for a strong personality.
