Perfume memories: LouLou by Cacharel

The picture is from here:

I used LouLou by Cacharel in 80's and I've wanted to repurchase it for several years now. This scent is not available in Finland anymore, but when I saw it in Parfumie Douglas in Germany, I just had to get it! I still love this scent so much, but unfortunately the bottle is quite far from stylish ;)

Tuli sitten hankittua ehta kasarituoksu Saksasta ;) Cacharelin LouLou oli suosikkini 80-luvun lopulla, Suomesta tätä ei taida enää saada. Olen aivan hulluna tähän tuoksuun, jota en osaa edes kuvailla mitenkään... Alla kuitenkin tuoksun tarkemmat kuvaukset englanniksi. Pullo on valitettavasti vähemmän elegantti. Muistatko sinä tämä tuoksun?


 
"One of the top selling perfumes of the 1980es, one of those bold, powerful, distinguishing and timeless fragrances. Loulou is a controversial perfume that people either like, or dislike, the one that provoke different emotions and indifference for sure is not one of them."

"The perfume is built around the beautiful and sensual scent of Tiare flower, the Tahitian symbol of welcoming and generous offer. The top notes are composed of violet, plum black currant, marigold and anis; the heart of sweet Tiare flower is accentuated with the notes of tuberose, ylang-ylang and orange blossom; all that is followed by powdery trace of orris and Tonka bean, and 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 straight-lines shape that narrows towards the top." from Fragrantica.

Top notes: Jasmine, mimosa, orange, tiare lily
Middle notes: Iris
Base notes:  Sandalwood, vanilla, incence. from Basenotes.

My other 80's favorites was Poison, I bought it again a few years ago too :) Do you remeber LouLou? Did you like it?

  1. Pakko sanoa, että ylläri kun just saksasta löytyy joku true kasarituoksu ;)

  2. Mulla ei ole tuoksusta mitään mielikuvaa, mutta muistan tuon pullon elävästi jostain, en tiedä tosin mistä, sillä äidilläni ei tuota kyllä ollut.. Pullon muotoilussa on selkeää 80-luvun futurismia ja "sci-fiä". Jollain tapaa jopa tykkään siitä :)

  3. Tän testeripullo oli Anaïs Anaïsin minipullon ohella mun ensimmäinen hajuvesi lapsena! Niin imelä, että myi loppujen lopuksi aika kehnosti. Lapsena tykkäsin, enää en pysty kun on liian vahva tuoksu.

  4. Saa mun mielestä vielä laivoilta, vai eikö saakaan enää? Jossain olen ihan takavuosina nähnyt ja ihmetelletyt, että vieläkö sitä myydään. :)

  5. This perfume always reminds me of my mum because she used to wear it a lot so it's quite special to me and I always have a bottle x

  6. Laura: Jep ;)

    The beautiful blog: :)

    Sonia: Voi saadakin, käyn vain laivalla niin harvoin. Tosin Viikarilla pitää kyllä käydä, kun tuli luvattua ;)

    HeidiB: :D Muoto on ihan nätti mutta tuo väriyhdistelmä ei ihan nappaa... ja tämä 30ml on paljon nätimpi kuin isommat koot!

  10. ooh that brought back memories!I liked its spin off Lou Lou Blue, which had a warmer vanilla smell. For a while i collected perfume bottles, but lost interest. I couldnt bare to part with them though, so stored them in a box and popped them in the loft. This year my dad decided to relag the loft and out came that box and there was the lovely bottle - it was a see through blue instead of opaque.

Silk Naturals mini-review, lip gloss swatches & EOTD with Charmed

I've been a customer of Silk Naturals nearly two years and the cs has always been excellent. The owner of the company is Karen and she always nice & helpful. My favorites from this company are lip glosses! Silk Naturals has both sheer and more opaque ones, my favorites are very natural ones like: Olen ollut Silk Naturals in asiakas jo lähes 2 vuotta ja asiakaspalvelu firmassa pelaa erittäin hyvin. Firman omistaa Karen, jonka mies on muuten suomalainen ;) Karen on aina vastaillut nopeasti kyselyihini. Omat suosikkini firmalta ovat huulikiillot. Näitä löytyy sekä läpikuultavia että peittävämpiä, suosikkini ovat luonnolliset sävyt kuten: 1. Foreplay (shimmery golden pink) 2. Berry Crush (golden berry, MAC Viva glam V clone) 3. Divine. Oh, my favorite and I couldn't find it from SN website :-O Eek! 4. Darling (peachie pink) These glosses are in slim tubes, I'll try lip gloss wands asap ;) I also liked solid frangrances a lot (Raspberry gingerale & Sexy Vanilla) but may...

shopping in Germany: Alverde & Alterra

Ok, I was in Germany like... in April ;) Well, I bought a lot of Alverde products from DM, the quality is excellent and the prices are VERY affordable! Just a few words about the products and a question. I LOVE Alverde shampoos & conditioners. Most of these products haven't been eco certiified before but I noticed that the Avocado series is now Natrue certified :-O Unfortunately it's not as good as it used to be... Not terrible but not great either, definitely not the product I expected it to be. Yes I know, it's certified now ;) Do you know if Alverde is planning to reformulate all of the shampoos and conditioners? If so, my suitcase will be much lighter in the future. Alverde body butter is THE BEST :D I also like the body lotions. Cranberry hand cream smells SO good... This time I tested some Alterra products from Rossmann too, I must say that I also like these a lot! I tested shampoos, hair conditioner, body lotion, hand cream etc. Just the eye makeup remov...

Mineralissima mineral makeup review

I got some products from Minerallisima for review purpose and for a giveaway :D I have so much mineral makeup that I REALLY can't buy anything anymore so it was great to test a new brand! Mineralissima's website is pleasant to browse and everything seemed very professional. Prices are affordable and so is the shipping. You can also get customer service in Finnish in this company :D And in many other lanquages as well. LOL Tästä postauksesta olisi tullut erittäin sekava kahdella kielellä, joten tällä kertaa vain englanniksi. Hyvä uutinen on se, että Mineralissiman sivut ovat myös suomeksi (ja ei todellakaan google translatella käännetyt ;D). Myös asiakaspalvelua saa Suomeksi! Sivut ovat mukavat selailla ja tuotteet myös todella laadukkaan oloiset. Voin suositella ja tilaan myöhemmin täältä lisääkin testattavaa/ täysikokoisia tuotteita :) Mineralissima foundation 1.2 gives medium (to heavy) coverage on my skin. The color is light (peachy) neutral. I love this foundation...
