Which Should You Buy?
Miel de Bois is a truly divisive Serge Lutens creation. For some, it's a rich, natural woody honey masterpiece, a comforting embrace. For others, it veers into 'cat pee' territory, a challenging and even off-putting scent. Test before you invest in this discontinued enigma.
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.

Season and Occasion Fit
Seasons
A cold-weather scent - best worn in winter and autumn.
Occasions
Given its strong, often intense honey and woody accords, Miel de Bois is too bold for an office setting. Its unique and sensual character makes it ideal for dates and comfortable evening wear, though some might find it suitable for more formal events if applied sparingly.
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.
