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.
This 90s powerhouse is a love-it-or-hate-it affair, but for those who get it, SpellBound is pure magic. It's a heady, unapologetic declaration of confidence, though beware the reformulation roulette - the vintage is where the true enchantment lies.

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

It's a bit much for casual daytime activities but some find its bold nature suits any occasion, especially in cooler weather.
