Which Should You Buy?
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.
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.

Versatile across every season - no clear seasonal preference from wearers.

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.
