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 - 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

Tilia

Seasons

Best For:
Spring Summer
Also Works:
Autumn

A warm-weather pick - at its best in spring and summer.

Occasions

Best For:
Date Casual
Also Works:
Formal

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.

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.
