Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - True Star EDP
This one's a proper love-it-or-hate-it affair, a divisive celebrity scent that has people either raving about its unique freshness or recoiling from its synthetic bite. Don't expect universal adoration, but if it clicks with your chemistry, prepare for compliments.

Our Verdict - Real Light For Women EDP
Real Light chases Tommy Hilfiger's True Star - that aldehydic melon-and-honeysuckle sparkle over clean musk. The dupe keeps the airy, innocent freshness but renders it a touch flatter and the honeysuckle thinner, so it reads more soapy-fresh than the original's soft-sexy glow, and it fades faster.

Season and Occasion Fit

True Star

Seasons

Best For:
Spring Summer

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

Occasions

Best For:
Casual Sport
Also Works:
Office

Its fresh and clean profile, coupled with a generally moderate sillage, make it suitable for casual wear and sports. However, the strong aldehydic opening can be polarising, making it less ideal for formal settings or intimate dates where subtlety is preferred.

Real Light For Women

Seasons

Best For:
Spring Summer

The cool melon-citrus opening and clean musk drydown are built for warm, bright weather and feel thin in the cold.

Occasions

Best For:
Office Casual
Also Works:
Date Sport

Light, fresh and inoffensive - an easy daily and office wear that stays understated rather than statement-making.
