Lillipur
ScentArt
Which Should You Buy?
This discontinued gem divides opinion sharply; some hail it as a masterpiece, a rich, spicy amber with a unique medicinal-boozy twist, while others lament its poor performance and a scent that reminds them of church or cough syrup. Love it or hate it, DSquared² Potion has fervent fans missing its unique charm.
Lillipur is divisive, a love-it-or-hate-it scent. Expect a strong, unapologetic star anise hit that delights some and repels others. Not a blind buy, but a unique, spicy experience if you're feeling adventurous.

Season and Occasion Fit
Seasons
A cold-weather scent - best worn in autumn and winter.
Occasions
Its warm, spicy, and amber profile, combined with generally low projection, makes it ideal for intimate settings like dates and adaptable to cooler formal events. It's too heavy for sport and most offices, though some find it office-appropriate due to its close-to-skin nature.
Seasons
Versatile across every season - no clear seasonal preference from wearers.
Occasions
Given its strong opening of star anise and powerful projection mentioned by reviewers, Lillipur is too assertive for most office environments. It's better suited for evenings or casual wear where its unique character can be appreciated without overwhelming others, although some find it meditative enough for personal enjoyment at home.
Similarity Breakdown
Both share Amber, Warm Spicy, Cinnamon accords and Patchouli, Cashmere Wood notes
