The Fashion Landscape
Cacharel

Jean Bousquet founded Cacharel in 1962. Its first fragrance, Anaïs Anaïs, appeared in 1978, followed by LouLou in 1987.

The Wider Culture
The Bottle

The bottle was designed by Annegret Beier. Its blue and red colours are said to come from a Matisse painting, and its form recalls Aladdin's lamp.

Reading the Object
The Scent

LouLou was composed by Jean Guichard around the tiaré flower, with vanilla and tonka in the base. With age, the scent may have changed.

Tiaré, vanilla and tonka.

Why It Matters Now
Bottle Design

The LouLou bottle is collected for its design as much as for its scent. This miniature keeps the original lamp shape.
