Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - LouLou EDP
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.

Our Verdict - Red Door EDT
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.
