Which Should You Buy?
This Serge Lutens creation is a divisive one. You'll either get a sublime, sophisticated spiced tea experience that's both comforting and unique, or you'll be smelling varnish, play-doh, or even straight-up cat pee. Definitely sample first.
Lillipur is divisive, a love-it-or-hate-it scent. Expect a strong, unapologetic star anise hit that delights some and repels others. Not a blind buy, but a unique, spicy experience if you're feeling adventurous.

Season and Occasion Fit
Seasons
A cold-weather scent - best worn in autumn and winter.
Occasions
Its moderate sillage and lack of strong projection make it subtle enough for office wear, though some find it too 'grown-up'. The warm, spicy accords with a touch of sweetness lend themselves well to casual and date settings, while its unique sophistication allows for formal wear. It's far too mellow for sport.
Seasons
Versatile across every season - no clear seasonal preference from wearers.
Occasions
Given its strong opening of star anise and powerful projection mentioned by reviewers, Lillipur is too assertive for most office environments. It's better suited for evenings or casual wear where its unique character can be appreciated without overwhelming others, although some find it meditative enough for personal enjoyment at home.
Similarity Breakdown
Both share Warm Spicy, Woody, Fresh Spicy accords and Patchouli, Amber notes
