Manifest | Lulu | Mexico

Going to CDMX, I wanted to find a local perfumerie that wasn’t Xinu. Smells Like Lulu has a strange name but an impressive collection of perfumes that are pretty reasonably priced. The shop is easy to miss, and much less vibey than others, but in a good way.

Manifest is a scent that grows on you over time. The patchouli really works overtime, anchoring the scent in a warm earthiness that is complemented by bergamot and orange blossom fresh florals. It is the kind of scent that works every season but in a different way.
