Heures d'Absence
It starts on jasmine sambac. It ends, hours later, on sandalwood. Louis Vuitton Heures d'Absence is everything that happens in between.

How it moves
The first breath is jasmine sambac and may rose, and it is loud about it. Mimosa, pittosporum and raspberry are where it actually lives. It dries down to musk, vanilla and sandalwood, close to the skin and hard to forget.
Who made it
Jacques Cavallier Belletrud composed it in 2020, for Louis Vuitton in France. Heures d'Absence revives the name of Louis Vuitton's first known fragrance, launched in 1927. The 2020 version is a jasmine and mimosa floral resting on vanilla and sandalwood.
