Fragrance information:
LuluCastagnette Lulu Castagnette, brought to life in 2002, is classified as a feminine fragrance, belonging to the fruit and floral families. By character, it falls into the sweet, wood, and fruit groups. The palette of this fragrance is exceptionally rich: traces of floral and whiteflower can also be found — a rare combination that makes this perfume truly one of a kind. Available as eau de toilette.
Expect a noticeable sillage — enough to be remembered, not enough to overwhelm. For skin application, 1-2 sprays is the sweet spot. It doesn't linger long, but it always leaves a mark — longevity is very low. The birthplace of this fragrance — France, a place with a refined nose. A rich, layered composition that reveals itself differently depending on your mood and the time of day.

The fragrance pyramid lists cotton candy and fig. At first, you really smell sweetness, and then cold herbal notes appear, which are apparently created by the fig on my skin. Later, musk and sweetish sandalwood emerge. Some noted coconut, although it's not in the description. My mother didn't appreciate the scent, calling it too cloying. It's definitely not my type - it feels somewhat alien. But I couldn't just get rid of it, sell it, or use it as an air freshener.
The fragrance became associated with pleasant memories for me. I got used to it - it was perfect for the dampness of November and December, as well as for February and March weather under the leaden St. Petersburg sky. This humidity in the scent reminded me of Ingrian dampness. It's not for romance or dates; rather, it creates an image of cold detachment. It's something like perfumery surrealism. It has cosmic coldness and indifference. A friend even called it the Snow Queen's scent. I wore it to work, to creative meetings, and on walks, both alone and with friends.
Today the bottle is empty - for the last couple of months, I've just been "squeezing" it to get rid of it. I certainly won't repeat it. But as a perfumery experience - it was interesting and unusual. I recommend it to those who are ready for surrealism in perfumery and love aquatic fragrances ))
