I love my perfume and love to experiment with new fragrances. There are some perfumes, however, that I always return to; these are ones that I leave for a while, when I try new brands, but that I always seem to have in my bed-side cabinet.
Lou Lou is one of these fragrances! It was one of the first; in fact it WAS the first, "grown up" perfumes that I had bought for me. Before Lou Lou I had dabbled with Impulse and other body sprays. A relative bought me some Lou Lou back from her holiday, and I immediately liked the smell of it.
Lou Lou was launched back in 1987 by Cacharel, a leading French design house. The original bottle was designed by Annegrit Beier and the perfume itself by Jean Bousquet. Apparently it was inspired by a 1920's film star, called Louise Brooke.
There are many different products in the Lou Lou range; for example, dusting powder, talc, soap and deodorant spray. It the perfume that this opinion is about, although all the other products have the same fragrance.
Lou Lou is an eau de parfum spray, as opposed to an eau de toilette, meaning that it is stronger and longer lasting. I always find it surprising that it is relatively cheap, because parfums are generally pricier. Costs vary considerably. My 30ml container cost around £10, but this was from a shop in Barcelona. Expect to pay up to £15.00 for this size. It is an easy fragrance to get hold of, you can get it in most perfume shops; I've seen it in Boots, Bodycare, Superdrug and a lot of places while on holiday.
Lou Lou is available in a variety of sized bottles; these bottles also come in a couple of different shapes. One is tall and the other is squat, but they are all a turquoise blue colour and made of plastic. My bottle has a burgundy band separating the lid from the main part of the container; I understand that on some bottles the band is blue. The designer said that he wanted the bottle to be like a magic lamp - when you rub it (well, squirt actually) the spirit of Cacharel comes out!

The scent is quite rich, combining amber, musk and floral notes, making it suitable for both night and day use. I find it to be both floral and spicy; quite a complex fragrance. The ingredients include top notes of jasmine, orange blossom, mimosa and ylang-ylang, contrasting with the base aromas of vanilla, frankincense and sandalwood. The main ingredient is listed as courmarin; a fragrance that its manufacturers say characterises the essence of late summer.
Some people find Lou Lou too rich and I admit that it is not to everyone's taste. I really like it, although I concede that I don't wear it as much as I used to. If you do try a tester of it, don't go on your first impressions. Walk around the shop for a bit before making a decision on whether you like it and, as with all fragrances, give it time to develop on your skin.
I wear Lou Lou at all times of the day and for a variety of events. I don't just restrict myself to when I'm going out ~ the price is SO good that I can afford to wear it for work or out in the daytime. It is a very versatile scent that seems to adapt to well to different situations! I am surprised I like it because I tend to go for less floral perfumes ~ I like ginger fragrances or even some men's aftershaves better than a lot of female scents!
Lou Lou reminds me of that first summer, in 1988, when I tried it for the first time. It has nostalgic qualities for me; it's certainly a perfume that I would urge you to try. It reminds of growing up.
Advantages: Staying power, average price Disadvantages: some find it too over powering
Why is it that throughout the year, I usually find something that I need, but when asked to write out a Christmas list, I find myself having to think long and hard?
Well, I decided to look at my perfume collection to see which ones were running low.This particular perfume has been on the market for years and yet it is still one of my personal favourites and it’s called Lou Lou, which is made by Cacharel. This perfume comes in a turquoise box, ... ...like pyramid, but hexangular design. The actual bottle is different from most, as it is not made from see through glass; it is coloured turquoise with a burgundy stripe for where the lid pulls off. Once the lid is removed it reveals the burgundy top, the spray nozzle is also the same colour. This scent comes in different sizes and is available in EDP (Eau de Parfum) and EDT (Eau De Toilette). The most popular size is the 30ml EDP, which you can purchase ...

Advantages: Good value , distinctive perfume , good packaging , different and quirky Disadvantages: May be too strong and in your face for some .
...fragrance from the house of Cacharel made by Lanco'me . It was launched in 1987 and therefore has become well established these days . I still think of it as a new fragrance but I suppose that's down to my age . It does means though that when I first bought it Lou Lou was still quite new . As such it definitely seemed of the moment then and was usually worn by younger women . Nowadays , having been around for 20 years , that's probably changed .
... ...it is a warm and rich fragrance which could never be described as subtle . It is very 'In your face' and not a perfume to be ignored or worn to blend in .
Most of the Lou Lou I have bought for myself , or as a gift for someone ,has been a small 50ml perfume spray . Despite that it does and has consistently lasted a long time . Even the smallest squirt of Lou Lou perfume will be discernible many hours later . The lingering smell , in common with ...

Advantages: lingers on the skin a fair while Disadvantages: a bit heavy
The creator jean Guichard made this heavy perfume in 1987. It is a type of floral come oriental type of scent.
This contains some of my favorite flowers, but I would not recomend this for general wear as it is rather heady. I prefer it for an evening use. The oddly shaped bottle is like a hexagon, diamond with a pointed red stopper,and the loulou was named after a heroine played by the film star louise Brooks in the 1929 film pandora's box.The designs ... ...used in this are as follows: firstly and most powerful are jasmine,orange blossom( this used at my mothers wedding a beautiful scent of its own, and later grown in her garden)mimosa,lily,iris,cassie and ylang-ylang.leading to : heliotrope,tonka,vanilla,frankincense and sandelwood.
As I have said I find this a heavy perfume so do not wear it that often, and I must admit to me being tempted to buy this as it was in a sale basket, it had no box with ...

Advantages: great value for money and excellant staying power Disadvantages: may not be to everyones liking due to strength of scent
Having purchased a bottle of LouLou a couple of weeks ago while on a tight budget and needing a new bottle of fragrance, I was pleasantly supprised at the scent considering that it only cost me £10.
Lou Lou has quite a strong fragrance in my mind which I suppose may not be to everybodies liking, but is great if you like a perfume that lasts. After one spray the scent lasted all evening, unlike certain other perfumes which have cost me four times ... ...half an hour. Because of this the bottle lasts a much longer time saving you even more money.
The scent is hard to describe, exept that it is not floral or fruity but more musky i suppose.
The main draw back to this is that the bottle and packaging of the fragrence look very plain and old fashioned in my opinion ...

Review of Cacharel Lou Lou
Advantages: lasts forever on the skin and not expensive Disadvantages: not the most up to date fragrance
This was the very first perfume i purchased with my very first pay packet - i was 17 and this was a new all the rage scent. Cacherel launched this perfume in 1987 and it was classed as a luxurious, subtle, oriental fragrance - for romantic wear.
Well luxurious it could very well be mistaken for.
Subtle - as subtle as a house brick.
Oriental - yes that it definitely is.
Romantic - it would probably choke you lover to death.
It is quite an inexpensive ... ...EDP and it does have staying power - and thats about all it has going for it.
The bottle is bit outdated - a torquoise 6 sided (thats a hexagon by the way) bottle with a burgundy stripe around the neck -quite tacky.
It is a very strong perfume - and it will last all day .
Quite spicey and woody and soapy - very difficult to give it a smell actually - it has one all of its own - i can quite honestly say that there has never been another one like ...

Group: Floral (fruity, aromatic, woody oriental...)
Introduction
I'm an avid collector of unusual, rare fragrances and a few months ago having read some favourable reviews of Eden online,
I blind-purchased a small bottle on Ebay to add to my collection thinking I might have missed out on something all those years ago. I sampled and wore the fragrance for a few days and this review is my attempt to give a balanced account of this love-it-or-hate it fragrance.
The blast from the past
I've always been a LouLou girl I wearing it devotedly in my teens for six years and was my signature scent so much so that my then boyfriend called me LouLou. By the time Eden was launched in 1994, I was already at university and my teenage outrageous eigthies and my Cacharel era was over and done with ...
Advantages: light enticing scent Disadvantages: turned darker in color after a year
Cacharel Eau De Eden Eau De Toilette Spray was created by Jean Guichard in 1996. It was launched the same year. Eau de Eden is a lighter version of Eden, that was launched two years after the original scent. I liked Eden a tad more than this.
I like the light flowery scent. But its too light i guess to stay on long like loulou or anais anais which are also cacharel scents.
It has the usual Cacharel flowery box but the bottle looks too plain for me.
I have a wide array of perfumes so i tend to use a diffrent one every day. I noticed that the liquid inside the bottle turned darker in color after a year. I threw the box and I am not sure if i saw any manufacturing date on it. It could have been an old stock at the shop i that i bought it from.
Other than that, I can say that i got what i paid for in buying a bottle of this ...
Advantages: Gorgeous bottle. Nice Vanilla infused Eau de Parfum. Disadvantages: Not great lasting power.
, with some other interesting notes lingering in there too. It doesn't have great staying power I'm afraid and after a couple of hours it had all but faded away. But while it is at its peak it is a really lovely smell. It is quite sensual with an exhilarating and romantic impression. I think I would possibly have this again after my present Curious has run out. It actually reminded me a little, of Lou-Lou by Cacharel, probably for the strong smell of vanilla mainly. -
---THE CURIOUS NOTES---
---The top notes---
Top notes of Louisiana magnolia - Golden Anjou Pear - Lotus Flower
---The middle notes---
Middle notes of Tuberose - Star Jasmine - Pink Cyclamen
---The base notes---
Base notes of Vanilla-Infused Musk - Sandalwood - Blonde woods
---SUMMARY---
Well I was very pleasantly surprised with the Britney Spears 'CURIOUS' Eau ...
