Why is it actually called old-fashioned?
I already had Loulou as a young girl, back when it came onto the market. In the late 80s, early 90s. Back then, I found it, as did the rest of the world, to be a super sweet-floral silagehammer. Intrusive, sultry, dense...
But I loved it in my youth. At the time, Loulou was also considered an absolute girly fragrance. Not for well-mannered mature ladies, but for party girls.
So I'm all the more surprised that LouLou is now considered a granny fragrance and old-fashioned. I can't understand that at all, although I've already reached granny age too.
I don't know if my perception of fragrance has changed? Today I put Loulou on again (not the vintage version) and I'm amazed that it seems like a modern, niche oriental to me. I now perceive mainly the spices and warm powdery notes. The flowers remain in the background, with soft cinnamon powder developing on my skin and creamy sandalwood with a slight hint of incense in the background
So come on girls and gentlemen, give it a try and give old Loulou a chance. Unfortunately, it has unjustly degenerated into a drugstore stoopid.
