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.
Acquired
Our Verdict - Card Red X EDP
Perfume Parlour's stronger take on Baccarat Rouge 540 - the sweet, airy saffron-jasmine glow over warm amberwood. Card Red X chases the iconic crystalline scent and pushes performance hard; what it loses is the metallic, refined edge that makes the original unmistakable.
