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.
Grain de Soleil is a polarising beast. While some adore its warm, rich, and comforting vintage charm, others find its powdery nature cloying or dated. If you're into 'old school' amber and vanilla with serious longevity, this could be your surprisingly affordable treasure.
