‘Amber and oud illuminate the golden hour. The moment the sun begins its descent, the air grows dense with rich light and the horizon is cloaked in amber. In the fabled golden hour, a palace appears in all its splendor. The sun sets stone ablaze, caresses woodwork, and amplifies every ornament in its sumptuous décor. Silhouettes gather, the first steps in a dance unfold and the scents of spices and pastries fill the air. Such deep radiance heralds the festivities and heady aromas of One Thousand and One Nights. Jacques Cavallier Belletrud has dreamed up a creation that translates the instant when everything intensifies and the day’s momentum gives way to nighttime celebrations. Ambre Levant is rooted in the marriage of two emblematic signatures from the Middle East: amber and oud, brought together here in a strikingly modern interpretation. Mandarin reveals its luscious freshness, beckoning luminous cinnamon and beguiling white pepper to evoke the generosity of Oriental delicacies. Notes of amber bloom in all their fullness thanks to the resinous warmth of labdanum, the purity of white incense and the mineral tension of a contemporary ambergris. As an ultimate signature, an exceptional oud sourced from an exclusive supplier to Louis Vuitton reveals a woody depth of rare refinement. It imparts an ambery veil, imbuing the skin with the radiance of that storied light. Ambre Levant joins the Journey to the Middle East collection, part of Perfumes of the World by Louis Vuitton. Through this collection, the Maison explores the cultures and olfactory landscapes of a region rich in time-honored tradition. Oud, a quintessential raw material from the Middle East, constitutes the unifying thread. Sourced from Louis Vuitton’s exclusive supplier, this exceptional oud is distinctive for its refinement and depth, conferring on the Maison’s creations a woody signature of extreme elegance. The iconic Parfums Louis Vuitton bottle, crafted in transparent black glass for the collection, here is tinted with amber reflections evoking the luster of golden twilight.’ – Louis Vuitton
