Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - LouLou Eau de Parfum
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 - SpellBound Eau de Parfum
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.

Season and Occasion Fit

LouLou Eau de Parfum

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.

SpellBound Eau de Parfum

Seasons

Best For:
Autumn Winter

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

Occasions

Best For:
Date Formal

Given its strong sillage and potent character, SpellBound is best reserved for evening dates and formal events where it can truly shine without overwhelming. It's too assertive for casual or office wear, especially in its vintage formulation.
