Jean Guichard

"Loulou is a rich oriental floral fragrance launched by Cacharel in 1987. Its character combines spicy cinnamon and anise with powdery iris, violet, heliotrope, and lush white florals. Incense, benzoin, vanilla, sandalwood, and musk create a dense, warm, resinous drydown. The composition has a strongly retro personality, balancing sweetness, powder, spice, and smoky depth. It is sensual and dramatic rather than light or understated. Loulou remains recognized for its bold, long-lasting presence and distinctive amber-floral identity."

Reviews Summary

“Loulou is widely characterized as a rich, sensual, retro oriental floral with strong heliotrope, anise, incense, vanilla, musk, and powdery iris or orris facets. Its sweet, melancholic character and long-lasting drydown can evoke classic dramatic perfumes, while the blend of spicy notes, creamy florals, and resinous incense gives it a bold and contradictory personality.”
