Cacharel

LouLou Cacharel

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.
