What do reviewers say about Talisman and LouLou?
Talisman is discontinued, which tells you something. A 1994 Balenciaga that still has people hunting for it decades later. The aldehydes give it that vintage edge.Talisman
LouLou is not a safe choice. It is big, resinous, and unapologetically floral with a plum-incense core that some adore and others find overwhelming. Wear it with intention or not at all.LouLou
