LV Lovers came out of a conversation between Pharrell Williams and Jacques Cavallier Belletrud about what sunlight smells like. The answer they arrived at is woods: not dark, resinous ones, but pale luminous woods with a warmth running through them and a clean musk holding it all close to the skin.
Why you will love this woody musk perfume
Woody fragrances tend to be either heavy or dry, and this is neither. The woods here are bright, almost golden, and the musk underneath keeps everything soft and close rather than pushing it out into the room. It is the rare woody scent that works in heat, which makes it far more useful in Egypt than most of the category.
- Pale luminous woods rather than dark heavy ones
- Soft clean musk keeps it close to the skin and comfortable
- A genuine collaboration piece, so it does not smell like the rest of the line
- Seven to nine hours on skin with a warm, gentle trail
- Works in heat, unlike most woody fragrances
- Refillable bottle
- Composed by Jacques Cavallier Belletrud in Grasse
The scent
The opening is warm and softly woody, with a faint brightness on top that reads almost like light rather than a specific note. Sandalwood builds through the first hour, creamy and smooth rather than dry. Amber adds warmth underneath. The base is clean musk and pale wood, and the fragrance settles into the skin and stays there.
Who it is for
Anyone who wants a woody fragrance they can wear in Cairo in June. It suits daily life, work, evenings and travel, and it is one of the most genuinely unisex fragrances in the range. A good choice for a couple who want to share a bottle, which is rather the point of the name.
How to use it
Three sprays on the chest, neck and wrists. It sits close by design, so do not be alarmed if you stop noticing it after an hour; other people still will. Apply to moisturised skin for the best performance.
