Following Ombre Nomade, Les Sables Roses and Nuit de Feu, Louis Vuitton introduces Fleur du Désert, the newest oud fragrance by Jacques Cavallier Belletrud.
“Jasmine, orange blossom, and rose were brought to Europe by caravan from different regions in the Orient. My idea was simply to state these natural wonders in their original setting.” – Jacques Cavallier Belletrud
Jacques Cavallier Belletrud composes a tribute to three native Middle Eastern flowers that over the centuries have become emblematic of perfumery all over the world: jasmine, a symbol of beauty from the Far East to the Mediterranean; orange blossom, which has been used in the region since Antiquity; and rose, one of the most famous varieties of which originated in Damascus. For the fifth opus in this collection, Louis Vuitton’s Master Perfumer wanted to capture these natural wonders in their original setting: gathered in a “nectar of flowers,” they blossom at the heart of a rich and resolutely sophisticated composition. More than a perfume: a signature.
To compose Fleur du Désert, Jacques Cavallier Belletrud immersed himself in the “absolute beauty” of an oasis with lush vegetation in the Saudi Arabian desert. In a colorful signature brimming with contrasts, the new fragrance pays tribute to three native Middle Eastern flowers that over the centuries have become emblematic of perfumery all over the world: jasmine, orange blossom, and rose. Leaving a distinctive imprint of radiant, honeyed tones, its opulent trail is enveloped in Oud Assam, adding a woody and spicy depth.
