Strong contender

FragDNA score · on paper

The review

Lighting Stars scores 7.4 out of 10 on paper — strong contender territory for anyone chasing Stellar Times.

Perfume Parlour sells it on the name alone — no note list of its own — so the brief is Stellar Times's pyramid, and the closeness votes below are the real test.

Strength: extrait, among the most concentrated formats a dupe comes in.

At $122 per 100ml it costs 79% less than Stellar Times — the 5th cheapest of 5 twins we can price.

Some wearers dispute how close it gets — the match is the seller's claim, so read the votes before you buy.

Reviewed on paper: from the notes and strength Perfume Parlour publishes, the price per 100ml, and how firmly the match is claimed. How it really smells on skin is what the votes below are for.

What it's built to smell like

Louis Vuitton Stellar Times is orange blossom at first, amber at its heart and woody notes at the end. Perfume Parlour set out to put that same arc in a cheaper bottle.

Top

  • orange blossom

Heart

  • amber

Base

  • woody notes
Orange blossom dissolving into amber and deep woods, warm and slow-turning, light from a long way off.

Some fans dispute how close this one gets — it is listed against the original by its seller.

How it ranks against the other twins

Of the 6 twins of Louis Vuitton Stellar Times we can price, Lighting Stars is number 5 on price per 100ml.
