    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 clove here isn't a polite seasoning, it bites. Combined with frankincense that reads more resinous smoke than church, Noir sits in territory that could veer costume if it weren't held so firmly.Noir
