What do reviewers say about Centenario and LouLou?
The coconut-powdery iris combo sounds like it shouldn't work. It does. Creamy, tropical, slightly dusty, like suntan lotion left in an old wood shelf. Strange but addictive.Centenario
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
