Which Should You Buy?
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.
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
Seasons
A warm-weather pick - at its best in spring and summer.
Occasions
Tilia's strong sillage and remarkable longevity, coupled with its intense floral sweetness, make it less ideal for enclosed office spaces. It shines brightest in casual spring and summer settings, perfect for dates or everyday wear where its vibrant character can freely unfold.
Seasons
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
Its amber, floral signature leans toward evening and daily wear - approachable enough for formal use without overwhelming a room.
