    Real talk

    The cinnamon in this either pulls you in or makes you pause. That's the draw, not the deterrent. It gives the wearer a kind of spiced confidence, warm enough to lean into.Mysteriously No 2
    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
