This is a review for the 2009 reformulation. Liu is a smell alike for Chanels famous No.5 and the rumour goes that Jacques Guerlain concocted it after smelling Chanel No.5. on his wife. It is an aldeh...

Liu is a vintage Guerlain perfume, reintroduced as part of the upper-end boutique line, Les Parisiennes. I am reviewing a decant I purchased on ebay. This is not a bad scent; I reiterate it has a gr...
