Hello gorgeous people,
I am still waiting expectantly for the Louis Vuitton fragrance. Here is a teaser of their Paris Fashion Week FALL’13 collection. So fun and sexy, which are not words I usually associate with the Louis Vuitton ranges. Also extremely wantable and wearable.

My question to you all today is:
What notes do you hope will be included in the Louis Vuitton perfume?
My answer: I am hoping for a new look at leather. It makes sense that they would use leather but I would like it to be a bright, sparkling leather with earthy undertones that give a two speed fragrance of dark and light through the whole story. A hefty, rich undertow with a green/floral overlay.
Top: Bergamot, Linden blossom, Incense
Heart: Leather, Frangipani, Freesia, Hawthorn, Lily
Base: Leather, Oakmoss, Myrrh
Please leave your answer in the comments. I’m sure you all have a list that will thrill me.
Much love till tomorrow,
Portia xx

Dearest Portia
The Dandy finds himself is total agreement with you!
A modern interpretation of the classic leather chypre would be a wonderful first perfume for Louis Vuitton: expressing the House’s heritage and making a real statement of intent.
Given that Bottega Veneta have already made a handy fist of just such a fragrance and the arrival of other recent ‘nouvelles chypres’ the time would seem to be right.
Yours ever

Heya Perfumed Dandy.
Is a handy fist good?
I love the Bottega Veneta. Jin bought it on holiday and it smells SO GOOD on him.

Ooop la -The Dandy’s Old World chit chat doesn’t always translate so well.
A ‘handy fist’ is a bally good thing as is Bottega Veneta’s new arrival.
I shan’t say to much as a full review will appear before ‘ere too long back at The Dandy’s place.
Good buy Jin!
Yours ever

I’m with you Portia, and would definitely wear a perfume that had those notes. I wonder if leather will be the next “it” note? In my opinion, its time has come.

Hey fleurdelys,
Oh My YES! It’s time is definitely back. Leather as the next IT fragrance inclusion. It will take over from rose in the next 12 months.
We can dream,

I do not care which notes will be there as long as it doesn’t smell cheap and comes in a nicely made bottle.

I’m not sure what I would like to smell, but I am pretty sure about what I would not like to smell: I really hope that it has character and doesn’t end up smelling like everything else.
