Louis Vuitton Has Launched Two New Additions To Its Men's Fragrance Collection.
Discover LV’s new fragrance for men--Météore and Nuit de Feu
Météore
In 2018, with L'Immensité, Nouveau Monde, Orage, Sur la Route and Au Hasard, Parfums Louis Vuitton set out to conquer new olfactory territories dedicated to men, the emotions they experience while traveling and their taste for adventure and escape. Today, the collection has been enriched with a sixth, exceptional composition by the House’s Master Perfumer, Jacques Cavallier Belletrud, crafted in his creative atelier in Grasse.
Météore - a magnetic name, evoking power and light. A phenomenon that arouses fascination all along its path, like flamboyant clouds that set the sky ablaze, dazzling humankind all around the world. Every moment of life becomes an adventure beyond meridians and parallels, transcending time and opening up every kind of possibility.
How is it possible to capture and contain such intense luminosity?
For Jacques Cavallier Belletrud, this audacious challenge dovetailed with his ongoing research into freshness, which he reveals here from a new angle in a crystalline, powerful, and instantly bracing composition. To give it such vivacious energy, he selected the noblest of citruses, without concession. Calabrian bergamot, mandarin and Sicilian orange burst forth and, pierced by a ray of light, project a cascade of sun-drenched notes. Their exceptional quality confers unprecedented power; their infusion touches the very heart of the perfume. “Here, freshness is not only a starting point, it becomes a major vector, a backbone around which all the other elements orchestrate and interlace,” Jacques Cavallier Belletrud explains. Among them is Tunisian neroli, whose radiant character further elevates the brightness of citrus. This is when a cocktail of spices makes a grandiose impact, revealed by a trio of peppers that sizzle and crackle, clinging to the citrus to better capture their light. A pairing of Guatemalan cardamom and Indonesian nutmeg enhances the fragrance’s depth, giving it a distinctive resonance. The Master Perfumer excels at playing on contrast that reveal textures right on one’s very skin. As a signature and to add a final touch of sophistication, he selected Java vetiver, an essence magnified here thanks to a unique distillation process. Stripped of its smokiest notes, the ingredient shines in all its complexity, exhaling amber facets as well as fresh and zesty notes of grapefruit or damp soil. And thus the noble, regal vetiver passes from shadow into light, dazzling along the way. Météore fuses elements of the sky and the Earth, deploying contemporary elegance without limits
To support this launch, Louis Vuitton have designed a new fragrance trunk and travel case in Taigarama.
Nuit de Feu
Following Ombre Nomade and Les Sables Roses, Louis Vuitton perfumes continue their homage to the olfactory culture of the Middle East. From its fascinating and inspiring age-old heritage, master perfumer Jacques Cavallier Belletrud borrows the most emblematic and luxurious raw materials: using ingredients that men have worn since the dawn of time, he weaves emotion through his latest composition, Nuit de Feu.
