Scent description (editorial impression)
Purple, spiced and unmistakably of the eighties: a sweet floral with powder and a dense vanilla heart that wearers have come back to for decades. One wrist spray can last into the next day; the heavy vanilla dry-down is what the few dissenters want to scrub off.
Drawn from 10 independent reports across 3 venues.

Owners who knew the original say today's bottle is different, and they split on whether that is a loss: one finds it less powdery and prefers it, one has come to love the newer version, and one says it is not the same as in the 1990s. No batch codes date the change.
How can I tell whether a bottle of Loulou Eau de Parfum is the current formulation?
A batch code alone does not tell you which formula is in a bottle.
To check a particular bottle, ask Cacharel or the retailer about its batch code. Owners' side-by-side comparisons are not confirmation from the house.

Loulou Eau de Parfum was launched in 1987 and composed by Jean Guichard, according to Cacharel.
