Duftglück

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.

My mom has always worn very fresh, tart, almost masculine fragrances. As a teenager, I was more inclined towards oriental scents. So it happened that we got stuck on the Scherrer fragrances when we were shopping for scents. Mom opted for Scherrer No. 1, while I went for the oriental No. 2. My mom was so taken with Scherrer that she kept buying it again and again. As a young thing, I couldn't understand the passion for this very tart, herbaceous fragrance back then. I always gave the bottle a wide berth, although I usually liked to help myself to my mother's perfume collection. At the time, I just thought it was nasty.
Many many years and endless perfumes that I own later, now at exactly the same age as my mom was back then, I appreciate Cypre fragrances and today this Scherrer No. 1 moved in with me. Now I also love this crisp green scent. Noble and refreshing in warm temperatures.
But I still love the Orientals just as much ;)

Dank dem netten Gfigueiredo konnte ich den neuen Duft von Parfumlovers Cologne testen. Vielen Dank nochmals für die ich Zusendung.
Beim Auspacken kam mir der Flakon schon bekannt vor. Sieht er doch dem ersten Duft von Shirin zum Verwechseln ähnlich. Aber mal Vorurteile beiseite und aufsprühen.
Hmmm...auch hier denke ich sofort an den Shirin Duft. Fruchtige Süße a la Alien kommt mir mit starker Silage entgegen. Kein Problem, da ich ja beide Düfte liebe. Allerdings setzt sich die Süße sehr schnell. Und hier unterscheidet sich der Duft von oben genannten. Ich nehme die Basis wahr, die sich dann auch nicht mehr ändert. Ich rieche hauptsächlich warmholzigen Puder, der dann eher Hautnah ist.
Alles in allem ein schöner preiswerter Gourmand für eher Jüngere oder Junggebliebene, oder wenn man eine Alternative zu Shirin sucht, der ja inzwischen discontinued ist.

I've got a lot going on right now. There's always something going on, constant excitement, my mood is down. I need something that brings me down. I'm watching a video of dear Anni (Flickchen) and I see Mystique Shimmer standing in the background. Oh yeah, I got that one too. Quickly applied and I'm floating on a fluffy powdery musky vanilla cloud. It urms me, comforts me. All is right with the world again, at least for today

Just like @Blauelibelle, I could have written the review. Shirin is also developing very nicely on me. Similarity to Alien is there, but Shirin is rounder, warmer, more 'praline' on me. I also perceive a creamy, nutty note.
For me, a drugstore pearl.
Silage and durability are enormous
