    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
    If you've been burned by aldehydes that smell like mothballs, this isn't that. The aldehydic opening here is champagne-clean, not costume-drama vintage.Lady of the Sonnets
