    Real talk

    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
    Balahe doesn't ask permission. One spray and you're in for the evening, the aldehydes announce themselves, the florals deepen, and by the time the vanilla arrives you're committed.Balahe
