Which Should You Buy?
LouLou is a properly polarising scent. Some find it a bold, enigmatic masterpiece with a melancholic edge, others report cat piss and plastic dolls. This 80s icon is a love-it-or-hate-it affair, but if it works for you, it's truly remarkable.
Divisive yet iconic, Red Door is the confident, unapologetic queen of vintage florals. Expect a powerful performance, but proceed with caution - this one's a love-it-or-hate-it scent that triggers strong opinions and even stronger reactions.

Occasions
LouLou's powerful sillage and dense, warm spicy and amber accords make it unsuitable for daily office wear, but perfect for dates or formal evening events where its rich character can shine. It's a bit much for casual daytime activities but some find its bold nature suits any occasion, especially in cooler weather.
Seasons
Versatile across every season - no clear seasonal preference from wearers.
Occasions
Red Door's beast-mode performance and opulent, statement-making profile make it unsuitable for daily office wear but perfect for formal events and glamorous date nights.
