More from Louis Vuitton

Louis Vuitton began in France in 1854 as a trunk-maker, and today it also makes perfume, with the range here spanning launches from 2018 to 2026. Two moods run side by side: bright bergamot, citron and ginger on one hand, and deep oud, incense, leather and saffron on the other. Imagination is the fresh, clean way in. Ombre Nomade is its opposite, smoky and woody. L'Immensité gives citrus a spicy edge, and Pacific Chill keeps things light and floral.
