What do reviewers say about LouLou and Power Self?
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
Power Self has the structure of something designed to be noticed, white florals, animalic musks, ambroxan, yet it wears close, almost shy. That's not a flaw. That's the point.Power Self
