    What do reviewers say about LouLou and Gardenia 1933?

    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 white floral for people who think white florals are too polite. The richness here borders on syrupy, lactonic, almost creamy, but the clary sage opening keeps it from becoming cloying.Gardenia 1933
