    What do reviewers say about Lola and X. Lou?

    Here's the thing about Lola: the opening is unapologetically sweet. Pink pepper and grapefruit sound sharp on paper, but on skin they play into the fruit rather than against it.Lola
    Floral fruity done right, sweet enough to feel inviting, with enough pink pepper and nutmeg to keep it from going one-note. It's the fragrance equivalent of someone who's effortlessly put-together.X. Lou
