La La Land

From the twilight of dusk to a feeling of freedom, City of Stars by Master Perfumer of Louis Vuitton Jacques Cavallier Belletrud captures a photorealistic Angelenos spirit in a bottle.

In the book titled A Natural History of the Senses, writer Diane Ackerman wrote one powerful prose: “hit a tripwire of smell and memories explode all at once. A complex vision leaps out of the undergrowth, as to how the aroma of a fragrance should be articulated with reference to either memory, location, or something deeply tapped into our consciousness. This notion, however, in the world of waters, is what aficionados would call a photorealistic scent, one that is sniffed or smelt in real life like the smoky tendrils of a clove cigarette, freshly picked red roses or linen soaked in sun rays.
