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.

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.

- 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.
