Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Tilia EDP
Tilia delivers pure, unadulterated sunshine in a bottle, perfectly capturing the essence of blooming linden trees. But its beastly performance and distinct yellow floral sweetness divides opinions - prepare for a potent, sometimes cloying, experience that's definitely not for everyone.
Statement
Our Verdict - Renee Carmine EDP
This Masion Alhambra dupe captures a fresh, clean laundry-meets-floral scent that's a crowd-pleaser and fantastic value for money. It's not a beast mode scent, but its easy-going charm and impressive longevity on clothes have won over plenty of fans.
