Which Should You Buy?
This one's a proper love-it-or-hate-it beast, and the old formulation is clearly regarded as superior. If you can get your hands on a vintage bottle, prepare for an earthy, smoky amber that demands attention.
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.

Seasons
A cold-weather scent - best worn in winter and autumn.
Occasions
This powerful, long-lasting scent with significant sillage means it’s definitely not for the office. Its rich, sensual nature and complex profile make it perfect for a dramatic date night or a formal evening, but it's far too heavy for casual wear or sport.

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.
