The story behind the bottle.
Louve by Serge Lutens was launched in 2007 and is a creation by perfumer Christopher Sheldrake. This Oriental Vanilla fragrance for women and men opens with almond and fruity notes, leading to a heart of rose and jasmine before settling into a warm base of musk, vanilla, resin, and amber. Louve captures the essence of a modern yet lasting elegance, blending sweet and nutty accords with floral warmth.
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.
