Application Tips

Apply Louve with two light sprays to the pulse points. The almond and fruity top notes are fleeting, so rely on the musky and vanilla base notes for lasting warmth throughout the day.

The story behind the bottle.

The rich texture of an autumn afternoon — where the crisp air mixes with the warmth of cinnamon-spiced baked goods and the soft glow of a hearth.
