Sur La Route
In homage to Louis Vuitton's origins in travel, Cavallier Belletrud took inspiration from the exhilarating sensation of cruising at high speed -- think car windows down on a summer day -- with a stimulating blend of lemon, cedar, Peruvian balsam, bergamot, and fresh notes of cut grass.
Au Hassard
Cavallier Belletrud made more than 300 revisions before he felt happy with this fragrance that blends sandalwood with ambrette (a flower seed that can substitute for animal musk) and cardamom. "The final result was very close to the first one," Newsom says, "but I spent three years getting there."
Orage
The sky darkens, and a sunny day turns ominous and thrilling. That's the mood Orage is intended to conjure, as its affable notes of patchouli and iris give way, over time, to smoky Javanese vetiver.
Nouveau Monde
In the spirit of the 19th-century explorer Pierre Savorgnan de Brazza, who commissioned Louis Vuitton to make him a trunk that would open into a bed, Cavallier Belletrud created this leathery scent by blending cocoa with a touch of saffron and oud from a family-run farm in Bangladesh.
L’Immensité
Hello rat race, it's the sea calling. This invigorating scent invokes the ocean with a bracing, briny top note of grapefruit that mingles with ginger and labdanum, a Mediterranean rockrose long used to treat colds and coughs (it even gets mentioned in Genesis).
