    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 aldehydic opening is bright and waxy, almost champagne-like, with a citrus quality that adds sparkle. There's a brief moment of almost-medicinal sharpness before the blend settles.Renato Balestra Pour Femme
