Perfumes of the World: A New Journey
Inspired by China’s art of living, this collection of fragrances celebrates the iconic rituals and materials of the land. Created by Master Perfumer Jacques Cavallier Belletrud, Tea Storm Louis Vuitton, Ink Mark Louis Vuitton, and Moon Tale Louis Vuitton present three unique scents capturing the refinement, contrasts, and poetic beauty of Chinese culture.
Tea Storm Louis Vuitton
An invigorating fragrance by Master Perfumer Jacques Cavallier Belletrud, combining bright lemongrass with magnolia, centifolia rose from Grasse, and tea accord. Tea Storm Louis Vuitton awakens the senses with vital energy, echoing nature’s powerful harmony during an unexpected moment of enjoying tea.
Ink Mark Louis Vuitton
A woody signature by Master Perfumer Jacques Cavallier Belletrud, orchestrating vibrant sandalwood, incense, and amber. Ink Mark Louis Vuitton channels the freehand calligraphy that animates cities across China, writing itself in smoky strokes — a fragrance of bold expression and modern intensity.
Moon Tale Louis Vuitton
A sophisticated bouquet composed by Master Perfumer Jacques Cavallier Belletrud featuring sensual peony accord illuminated by magnolia and sambac jasmine, lifted with a touch of raspberry. Moon Tale Louis Vuitton evokes a graceful beauty ritual — a vivid red glow, a veil of rice powder, an intense gaze — that reveals a trail at once nuanced and feminine.
China’s art of living is an art of fragrance: the ingredients have meaning; they elevate the body and mind. I was mesmerized by this ability to transform nature into culture.
The Inspiration Behind the Bottle
For this collection, the emblematic Parfums Louis Vuitton bottle originally imagined by Marc Newson is revisited with new hues across its timelessly elegant silhouette. A nod to the ancient art of snuff tobacco bottles, the creation presents an encounter between cultures rendered in glass with an opalescent sheen — a precious homage to the heritage of Peking glass set against contrasting caps, whose play of colors embodies the tradition’s graphic spirit while reflecting the House’s savoir-faire.
