What do reviewers say about Sun and LouLou?

Powder and vanilla worn close to the skin, the talcum warmth of someone who spent the afternoon in light. Not every fragrance needs to announce itself.Sun

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
