What do reviewers say about LouLou and Trueste?
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
This is a perfume that knows exactly what it wants to be. The fruity opening is impeccably fresh, the floral heart is substantial without being garish, and the woody-aquatic drydown has surprising.Trueste
