Which Should You Buy?
Perfume Parlour's run at Lagerfeld's Sun Moon Stars. Solar System captures the juicy peach-and-white-floral opulence buyers love, landing close to the original, though the velvety oriental drydown is a touch flatter than the vintage longevity-monster.
Heures d'Absence is a perfectly pleasant floral musk that’s pretty, clean, and a bit 'meh'. Prepare for accusations of shampoo or hair dye, and a price tag that many agree is not justified for its performance and linearity. You'll either adore its delicate elegance or find it utterly boring.

Season and Occasion Fit
Seasons
The warm, sweet fruity-floral-oriental character is best in cool autumn and winter air, with a softer spring fit.
Occasions
A rich, dressed-up scent that shines for evenings, dates and formal occasions more than casual daytime.
Seasons
A warm-weather pick - at its best in spring and summer.
Occasions
Its clean, light floral and musky profile makes it highly suitable for office and casual settings where an inoffensive scent is preferred. The consensus on its weak projection and longevity means it's too subtle for formal events or a standout date night, but could work for sport if you want a fresh lift.
