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.
Pardon isn't for everyone. Some call it a masterpiece of dark elegance, others a tricky patchouli bomb. Give it a whirl if you fancy a uniquely sophisticated, masculine scent, but definitely don't blind buy. This one's an acquired taste.

Season and Occasion Fit
Seasons
A cold-weather scent - best worn in autumn and winter.
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
A cold-weather scent - best worn in autumn and winter.
Occasions
Its deep, rich accords and potent sillage make it unsuitable for the office, where it could easily overwhelm. However, it's a stellar choice for dates and formal events, projecting an air of masculine elegance and garnering compliments. Casual wear in colder months is possible, but its intensity limits versatility.
