    Real talk

    A whisper, not a shout. That's the whole point. The citrus opens bright and fast, but what stays is the powdery jasmine-musk, intimate, close, unexpectedly persistent.Musk #9
    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
