Launched in 1987, LouLou by Cacharel is a fragrance that celebrates the seductive charm of its 'older sister,' Anaïs Anaïs. Designed by Jean Guichard, it pays homage to the iconic style of Louise Brooks from the 1920s. The composition features a powdery and amber base with notes of plum, iris, jasmine, ylang-ylang, and vanilla, creating a warm and sweet yet sophisticated aroma. LouLou was one of the top-selling perfumes of the 1980s and is known for its distinctive azure-and-red faceted bottle, inspired by Matisse's 'Odalisque with Red Trousers.'

Application Tips
Apply LouLou to pulse points for the best longevity. The powdery base notes develop slowly over time, so it’s worth waiting for them to fully bloom rather than layering too much initially. This fragrance reads better close to the skin, making it ideal for intimate moments.
