Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Stellar Times EDP
This is a masterpiece for some, a cleaning product for others. Stellar Times is a divisive, high-performance scent where a unique fizzy amber meets orange blossom, creating an unmissable trail that is either sublime or simply not worth the price tag.
Acquired
Our Verdict - Lighting Stars EDP
Perfume Parlour's affordable interpretation of Louis Vuitton Stellar Times - a amber fragrance led by Amber, with floral depth. The dupe trades some of the original's depth and longevity for a wallet-friendly price, keeping the recognisable character.

Season and Occasion Fit

Stellar Times

Seasons

Best For:
Spring Summer Autumn Winter

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

Occasions

Best For:
Date Formal
Also Works:
Casual

Its potent performance and luxurious amber-floral profile make it ideal for dates and formal events, though it's too commanding for office wear. While some wear it casually, its strong projection and high price point suggest it's best reserved for special occasions.

Lighting Stars

Seasons

Best For:
Autumn Winter

The amber character is happiest in autumn and winter - cooler air gives the warmth room to bloom; the dupe's lighter build means it can struggle to project in the opposite season.

Occasions

Best For:
Date Formal
Also Works:
Office Casual

Its amber, floral signature leans toward evening and daily wear - approachable enough for formal use without overwhelming a room.
