Matière Noire

Louis Vuitton's fragrances are, for the most part, true invitations to travel. They encourage leaving one's familiar surroundings for unknown territory. They invite losing one's bearings so as to better refocus on oneself.

Where to buy

Also, among the many essences offered by the house, Matière Noire is the most recent of them all. It was launched in 2016 and comes across as a highly contrasted fragrance, situated halfway between the mystery of woods and the beauty of flowers.

Louis Vuitton's journey

Louis Vuitton is a creator who seems to have always been guided by a pull toward faraway places. Moreover, it was a travel trunk that first made the house known. Also, Matière Noire is no exception to the rule and takes us on a new journey. Nevertheless, this one seems by far the most thrilling of them all. Matière Noire is a genuine exploration, a kind of fantasized journey propelling us into a darkness where everything is there to be discovered. Thus, it is a troubling juice with almost sacred effluvia. Matière Noire is an immaterial and opaque epic. This juice sits at the border of dream and reverie. Through it, the impossible seems to become tangible reality. To achieve this, it is woven from unexpected ingredients. Matière Noire is a particularly surprising fragrance, ideally conceived to spark wonder. Moreover, its complexity allows it to be rediscovered a little more with each wearing. Matière Noire holds a multitude of different scents, so much so that it will likely take its wearers years to master each of its facets.

The absolute, deep harmony of Matière Noire

This metaphorical juice is signed by one of the greatest perfumers on the planet, master Jacques Cavallier. He delivers here a concentrate of unexpected emotions. Furthermore, he was born in Grasse, the cradle of perfumery. Thus, it is a little as though scents were part of his DNA. He masters them to perfection, and his creations are always woven with deep elegance. Thus, Matière Noire dares to display powerful ingredients without them becoming too heady. This fragrance opens with a fruity blend of blackcurrant syrup and aquatic notes. Thus, Matière Noire immediately reveals its dark side, while remaining fresh and juicy. Then, its heart is laden with flowers. It is from there, moreover, that all its elegance comes. Furthermore, Matière Noire contains cyclamen, narcissus, sambac jasmine and rose. These airy ingredients bring more contrast to this essence, giving it greater amplitude. It is a little as though the black night were suddenly crossed by a luminous comet. At this point, Matière Noire is enriched with precious woods. It contains patchouli, agarwood from Laos, incense and benzoin. The whole is utterly troubling and becomes almost unreal.
