What do reviewers say about LouLou and Ylang Ylang?
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
Ylang-ylang can be assertive and challenging on its own. Les Essentiels softened it with coconut, using that warm, slightly salty quality to round the edges and create something smoother.Ylang Ylang
