“Tilia-esque for sure. A bit different in the opening, but mid and drydown will scratch the itch.Edit: the longer I have this the less similarity I get comparing to Tilia. They fall into the same category, but I would not consider this a dupe.”

“Gorgeous yellow floral that showcases the creamy side of jasmine. I do get a slight hay/ broom/ earthiness note here. The ambroxan pairs with the florals in a gentle and elevated way. This smells FAR above its $40 price point. Similarities to Tilia- I’d say coming close to 90%. This works well in the high heat of summer. My sun dress, sprayed yesterday is still holding strong to the scent. It’s got a lovely sillage and just smells expensive. 8.5/10 coming close to 9/10.”

“I find this underwhelming. I never smelled Tilia. It has a similar vibe to Valaya, that gentle airiness, but it's waaaay apart from Fleur Narcotique's performance, I can detect some similarities if I really look for them but this is just so light and not so fruity/sharp. It's in the laundry detergent category, it also reminds me of the sort of glue smell on old-school stamp collection folders. When I first smelled it, it instantly reminded me of Yaqeen from Asdaaf, if you tried it - this is very similar.”
