What do reviewers say about Claude Montana and LouLou?
The woody base here isn't polite cedar from a catalog. Sandalwood and cedar together create something warm and enveloping, a presence that fills a room without filling it with noise.Claude Montana
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
