More about Louis Vuitton Nouveau Monde
An homage to 19th-century explorer Pierre Savorgnan de Brazza, one of Louis Vuitton's earliest and most loyal clients. Master Perfumer Jacques Cavallier-Belletrud created a completely unexpected oriental accord. An enveloping, purebred scent that plays on the opposing forces of dryness and sweetness. Dark cocoa and aged dusty leather are balanced by tonka, vanilla and caramel, creating a sophisticated composition that avoids being gourmand. A comforting breath of fresh air.
