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 - Diamonds and Rubies EDT
This Sophia Grojsman masterpiece can be divisive, often requiring patience to get past a tricky opening. Those who connect with it find a surprisingly rich, warm, and sophisticated floral-fruity, ideal for cooler weather and offering incredible value.

Season and Occasion Fit

LouLou

Seasons

Best For:
Autumn Winter

A cold-weather scent - best worn in autumn and winter.

Occasions

Best For:
Date Formal
Also Works:
Casual

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.

Occasions

Best For:
Date Formal
Also Works:
Casual

Its potent projection and long-lasting nature make it less suitable for office environments. The romantic and warm floral-fruity profile, combined with its strong presence, is perfect for dates and evening events, while its cozy depth also works for casual wear in cooler months.
