    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
    Some florals announce themselves. This one takes its time blooming on your skin, quiet for the first hour, then suddenly you're in a garden full of flowers. Not a statement fragrance.Vie Privée
