What do reviewers say about Couture 8 and LouLou?
The green notes here don't whisper. Hyacinth takes up space, makes itself known, and some will find that confrontational. But that's exactly the point. White flowers keep it from being cold.Couture 8
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
