LOUIS VUITTON — A Perfume Atlas

Jan 30

A unique glimpse into the timeless artistry of Louis Vuitton’s master perfumer, Jacques Cavallier-Belletrud.

This 400-page book delves into the journey of raw materials, revealing how they're harvested, distilled, and transformed into intricate fragrances. Aurore de la Morinerie’s illustrations vividly capture the essence of each ingredient—whether it's Chinese magnolia, Indian jasmine, or osmanthus—evoking distant lands, ancient trade routes, and the changing seasons. Each artwork brings to life the beauty and complexity of seeds, leaves, and blossoms, transporting the reader into the world of perfume creation through a visual and sensory lens.
