Jean Guichard

"Loulou is a rich, opulent amber-floral fragrance introduced by Cacharel in 1987. Its character is built around powdery iris and heliotrope, creamy florals, vanilla, incense, and balsamic woods. The composition has a distinctly vintage-leaning style, balancing sensual sweetness with darker resinous and smoky facets. Tiare flower and ylang-ylang provide a heady floral core, while sandalwood and musk give the drydown warmth and depth. Loulou is especially suited to wearers who enjoy dramatic, powdery, vanillic oriental fragrances. It remains one of Cacharel's most distinctive and recognizable classic feminine perfumes."
