About
LouLou by Cacharel is a Oriental Floral fragrance for women. LouLou was launched in 1987. The nose behind this fragrance is Jean Guichard. Top notes are Plum, Chinese Cinnamon Wood, Iris, Violet, Lily, Anise, Jasmine, Mimosa and Cassia; middle notes are Ylang-Ylang, Heliotrope, Orris Root, Orange Blossom and Tahitian Tiare Flower; base notes are Incense, Vanilla, Benzoin, Sandalwood and Musk. One of the top selling perfumes of the 1980's, one of those bold, powerful, distinguishing, and timeless fragrances. LouLou is a controversial perfume that people either like or dislike, the one that provokes different emotions, and indifference for sure is not one of them. LouLou is a fragrance dangerous like Pandora's Box. LouLou is like an intoxicating dark red flower which lures you into the depths of a dark and dangerous forest. Yet it is impossible to resist, and once you are engrossed by its warm scent, you simply have to let go and follow it; you must pick the forbidden fruit.The perfume is built around the beautiful and sensual scent of tiare flower, which is the Tahitian symbol of welcome. The top notes are composed of violet, plum, black currant, marigold, and anise; the heart of sweet tiare flower is accentuated with the notes of tuberose, ylang-ylang, and orange blossom; and all of that is followed by a powdery trace of orris and tonka bean and a sensual mix of vanilla and balsam.This sensual, wild, and mysterious perfume is captured in an opaque blue and red flacon of a simple octagonal and straight-lined shape that narrows towards the top. An earlier version of the bottle was designed like Aladdin’s lamp with a blue octagonal base and a red spiky top. It comes in a cardboard outer box painted in red flowers and colorful vegetation against a very dark forest.

About
51 Pour Femme Essence De Parfum by Roja Dove is a Oriental fragrance for women. 51 Pour Femme Essence De Parfum was launched in 2021. Top note is Bergamot; middle notes are Ylang-Ylang, Raspberry, Gardenia, Orange Blossom, Tuberose, Lily, Lily-of-the-Valley, Jasmine and May Rose; base notes are Vanilla, Benzoin, Cashmere Wood, Sandalwood, Orris, Violet, Cinnamon, Clove, Anise and Patchouli. Like a sparkling jewel box, the Roja Parfums flagship boutique at 51 Burlington Arcade nestles in one of London’s Most iconic addresses, in London’s Mayfair. Bringing the prestige and personality of this award-winning store to life, 51 Parfum is a scent where nothing is exactly as it seems. Juicy Raspberry lends a vibrant contrast to the floral grace of Rose, Jasmine and Lily, which is made velvety-smooth through a sensual note of Vanilla. Elegant yet effervescent, 51 is a playful homage to The Burlington Arcade, where Luxury abounds, and all is not quite as it seems once you peek behind the curtain of propriety.A scent created to epitomise the luxuriousness of the Roja Parfums woman, 51 portrays an exotic floral beauty that is impossible not to love. A huge note of Raspberry lends a juicy sweetness as the softness of mouth-watering Benzoin wraps around a central note of smooth Vanilla, cutting through the tartness to create a perfectly-balanced sweet centre. Spicy hints of Aniseed, Cinnamon and Clove bring a vivacious warmth that invigorates this indulgent Oriental accord, which is further livened by the brightness of eight beautiful flowers swirling around a Rose, Jasmine and Lily-forward bouquet. Luxurious wood notes of Casmir and Sandalwood sit closely to the skin, whilst a touch of powdery Orris whispers in the background.
