    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
    The violet here isn't the dried-petal kind. It's glossy, almost lacquered, with an almost metallic coolness that gives it a distinctive edge. Paired with incense and patchouli.Asphalt Flower
