Louis-Vuitton-Colognes

Cologne Symphony from Louis Vuitton

Inspired by the cool Pacific Ocean waters and the contagious laissez-faire vibes of California, Louis Vuitton creates a sensorial feast through the West Coast with three new unisex colognes. The fragrances, titled Afternoon Swim, Cactus Garden, and Sun Song, encase a summer symphony in colored flacons. Master Perfumer Jacques Cavallier-Belletrud bottled the summery potions with rare and natural floral and citrus materials that reveal a beautifully tender nature. Sun Song elevates elegant notes of orange blossoms grown in Grasse, France, while Cactus Garden delves into exotic tea with a complex tropical effect. Afternoon Swim is citrus heaven of bergamot. Each scent is wrapped in special packaging designed by artist Alex Israel, reflecting the unique nature of Los Angeles while also spinning off the theme of a cross-country road trip. Light and unimposing, the trio is the ultimate announcement and reminder of summer’s arrival.

All three fragrances, $250, are available at LouisVuitton.com and select stores.

Inspired by a trip to Jeju, a volcanic island off the coast of South Korea, Camille Goutal and Isabelle Doyen from Parisian perfumery AnnickGoutal have created a lively fragrance titled L’Ile Au Thé, the island of tea. This new unisex perfume is composed of zesty mandarin, white musk, and velvety osmanthus notes infused with a hint of deep green tea leaves. Like all Annick Goutal products, L’Ile Au Thé’s packaging was made exclusively in France by expert craftsmen and conveys the memory of the creator’s life. The sophisticated nude-colored box features gold detailing and navy type as well as a quote on the back in elegant gold script from Annick Goutal, French pianist, model, and perfumer: “Nature and all her wonders guide me… My emotions find expression in scents. Perfume is the music of my dream.”

L’Ile Au Thé is available at the Annick Goutal Boutique, 646-964-4819, and ships nationwide.
