Cacharel LouLou is an Eau de Parfum launched in 1987, created by Jean Guichard. LouLou opens with Redcurrant Leaf, Anise, Jasmine, and Iris, settles into a heart of Tiare Flower, Orange Blossom, Orris, and Ylang-Ylang, and dries down to a base of Musk, Sandalwood, Vanilla, and Benzoin. Cacharel's LouLou carries an Acquired verdict, a powdery-led wear.

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.

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.

About

Explosions of powdery iris, violet, and mimosa open this theatrical scent, immediately softened by the rich, jammy sweetness of plum and a whisper of warm cinnamon and anise. The heart blooms with exotic tiare flower, orange blossom, and heady ylang-ylang, wrapped in a creamy heliotrope embrace. The dry down is a smoky, resinous masterpiece of sandalwood, incense, benzoin, and vanilla, creating a deep, mysterious, and unforgettable trail.
