The Story
Louis Vuitton's first fragrance, Eau de Toilette (1954), is a classic chypre that captures the elegance of mid-century French perfumery. It opens with bright citrus and aldehydes, leading to a floral heart of jasmine and rose, resting on a warm base of oakmoss, leather, and musk. This is a refined, timeless scent that feels both vintage and surprisingly modern.
