Most fragrances contrast one thing against another. Cosmic Cloud does the opposite: it is built almost entirely from musks, stacked in layers, with nothing bright or dark to interrupt them. The effect is a fragrance with no obvious edges at all, which sounds like it would be boring and turns out to be the reverse.
Why you will love this musk extrait
Musk is what makes a fragrance smell like a person rather than a product, and a composition made almost entirely of it goes straight to that effect. There is no top note to speak of and no dramatic development. What there is instead is depth, warmth and a quality that makes people want to stand slightly closer to you.
- Built almost entirely from layered musks, which is unusual and expensive
- No sharp opening and no dramatic turns, just depth
- Reads as skin rather than perfume, in the best possible way
- Twelve hours and more on skin thanks to the extrait concentration
- Completely unisex and very easy to wear in any season
- Part of Les Extraits, the most concentrated Louis Vuitton collection
The scent
There is barely an opening. The fragrance simply appears, soft and warm and slightly powdery, as though it had been on your skin for an hour already. Over the following hours different musks come forward in turn, some cleaner, some warmer, some faintly animalic. A pale wood sits underneath. It never leaves the skin.
Who it is for
People who want a fragrance nobody can quite identify. It suits everything: work, evening, summer, winter, and layering underneath other fragrances to give them body. It is also the best fragrance in the range for anyone who dislikes being able to smell their own perfume all day.
How to use it
Two sprays directly on the skin, at the throat and wrists. Musk fragrances are strongly affected by individual skin chemistry, so this will smell different on you than on anyone else. Do not apply to clothing; the effect depends on body warmth.
