    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
    Rose Ispahan doesn't perform. It settles. Sweet enough to feel like a second skin, warm enough for November evenings. The kind of fragrance your grandmother probably had, and now you understand why.Rose Ispahan
