The Louis Vuitton Ambre Levant is anchored in the union of two emblematic raw materials — amber and oud — brought together in an interpretation of striking modernity.

Master Perfumer Jacques Cavallier Belletrud began with a luscious mandarin, whose ripe freshness brings a gourmand brightness to the skin. Its fruity accents call forth a breath of warm spices: effusive cardamom, luminous cinnamon, an intriguing note of white pepper, and a touch of saffron to intensify warmth. Together, they lend the composition its beguiling tension and a gentle evocation of Eastern indulgences. Then the amber notes unfold in full, with the resinous warmth of labdanum, the purity of white incense, and the mineral vibration of a contemporary ambergris giving the accord its captivating radiance. The alliance is then sealed with an exceptional essence of oud, sourced in Bangladesh from a supply exclusive to Louis Vuitton. This ‘black gold’, an emblematic treasure of Middle Eastern perfumery, multiplies tenfold the composition’s depth and intensity.

For Jacques Cavallier Belletrud, it is among the most sensual woods that exist: “This one is unique, of exceptional quality. Its woody character, of rare refinement, reveals a very subtle animality and an elegance that is at once spicy and ambered.” The absolute amber signature, Ambre Levant draws out the light of the golden hour and extends its radiance onto the skin. The iconic Louis Vuitton flacon, rendered in transparent black glass, here takes on a deep, warm amber hue. The radiance of the golden hour seems to emanate from within the glass itself. This flacon may be refilled at stores equipped with a perfume fountain.
