    Real talk

    It's the aldehydes. That's the thing nobody warns you about. Versus Donna opens like a 90s disco ball, all sparkle and attitude, and if that's not your lane, you'll never make it past the first spray.Versus Donna
    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
