Which Should You Buy?
A potent, sweet oud-leather blend that's a fantastic cheapie if you can still find it. It's divisive in its sweetness and strength, so spray sparingly or you'll clear a room.
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.

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.
