Cacharel Lou Lou Eau de Parfum 30ml Spray

Cacharel Lou Lou Eau de Parfum 30ml is a richly textured floral-oriental classic from the French fashion house Cacharel — composed in 1987 by perfumer Jean Guichard. A plum, cinnamon wood and iris-violet opening leads into a heady white-floral heart of ylang-ylang, heliotrope, orris and orange blossom, settling on a sumptuous oriental base of incense, vanilla, musk, sandalwood and benzoin. The result is one of the great 1980s floral-orientals, in continuous production for nearly four decades.

About Cacharel

Cacharel is a French fashion house founded in 1962 in Paris by Jean Bousquet — internationally celebrated for its romantic floral ready-to-wear and accessories. The brand's fragrance line — produced under L'Oréal — launched Anaïs Anaïs in 1978, with Lou Lou following in 1987 as the bolder, more sensual evening counterpart. The fragrance has remained continuously in production and a devoted cult favourite among lovers of vintage-style oriental florals.

Who it's for

Lou Lou suits women drawn to classical, full-bodied floral-oriental fragrances over modern fruity or aquatic styles. It is at its best in autumn and winter evenings, ideal for dinners, formal occasions and any context where vintage-style glamour is welcome. If you wear Yves Saint Laurent Opium, Cacharel Anaïs Anaïs or Estée Lauder Cinnabar, Lou Lou belongs in the same wardrobe.

How to use

1. Spray onto clean, moisturised skin from around 15 cm away.
2. Apply to pulse points — wrists, neck and behind the ears.
3. Two sprays of an EDP is plenty; the incense-vanilla-musk base lasts richly all evening.
4. The 30ml format is hand-luggage friendly — useful for travel and weekend wear.

Size: 30ml. Presented in Lou Lou's iconic cobalt-blue flacon with the brand wordmark — one of the most recognisable 1980s fragrance bottle designs.
