The story behind the bottle.

Scentsation editorial

Pur Santal by Louis Vuitton was launched in 2024 and crafted by Jacques Cavallier Belletrud. This woody floral musk fragrance opens with a warm spicy accord that instantly grounds the composition, creating an atmosphere of comfort and depth. As it develops, the powdery and balsamic notes add a layer of sophistication, making Pur Santal a versatile scent that is both intimate and elegant.

How to wear it

Apply two sprays to your pulse points for a balanced effect. The warm spicy notes are prominent in the first hour, but the fragrance's powdery base will carry through the rest of the day, making it ideal for both daytime and evening wear.
