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 - The Decay Of The Angel

This one is a divisive marvel, a true love-it-or-hate-it scent. Reviewers are split between those who find it a subtle, ephemeral disappointment and those who are utterly captivated by its unique, artistic journey. If you're after something truly individual, it's worth the sniff, but don't expect a crowd-pleasing beast mode performer.

Season and Occasion Fit

Suede Orris

Seasons

Best For:

Spring Autumn Winter

Also Works:

Summer

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

Occasions

Best For:

Office Casual

Also Works:

Date

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.

The Decay Of The Angel

Seasons

Best For:

Autumn Winter

A cold-weather scent - best worn in winter and autumn.

Occasions

Best For:

Date Formal

Also Works:

Casual

Its moderate sillage and lack of overt 'freshness' makes it fine for an office, though its unique character might turn some heads. It truly shines on a date or formal occasion, offering an intriguing, intimate aura, but its subtlety means it won't project across a room. This isn't a sporty scent; it's too complex and introspective for a gym session.
