Our verdict on Orionis: Acquired

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.

Best Occasions

Best For:
Date
Also Works:
Formal

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.

About

Orionis opens with a dense, bitter hit of saffron and incense, setting a seriously resinous tone. This quickly gives way to a monumental amber heart, bolstered by patchouli and an unapologetically animalic ambergris. As it dries, balsamic notes of Tolu balsam and benzoin emerge, softened by a hint of vanilla and musk, which aims to temper some of Orionis's initial raw power. It's a rich, warm, and profoundly oriental scent that commands attention.
