    Real talk

    The aldehydes are a bold choice here, they give Loretta a retro elegance that could polarize. But the real move is the leather-resin drydown, which arrives hours later and refuses to let go.Loretta
    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
