The story behind the bottle.
Heures d’Absence (1927) by Louis Vuitton was launched to mark the opening of the brand’s London store in 1927. This fragrance, named after Georges Vuitton's villa, is a remarkable blend that captures both the sophistication and elegance of early 20th-century luxury. It opens with a crisp citrus freshness before giving way to a woody, powdery base that exudes lasting refinement.
Due to its enormous sillage and eternal longevity, a single generous spritz is more than enough. This fragrance projects strongly across a room, so it's best worn in settings where you want to make an impression — perfect for formal events or special occasions.
