The Story
Louis Vuitton's first fragrance in over 70 years, this 1996 Eau de Parfum is a soft floral chypre that feels both classic and modern. It opens with a bright burst of bergamot and mandarin, then settles into a heart of rose, jasmine, and lily of the valley. The base is a warm, powdery blend of sandalwood, musk, and vanilla, with a touch of oakmoss for structure. It's a refined, elegant scent that captures the spirit of travel and luxury.
