Nouveau Monde LOUIS VUITTON Eau de Parfum

Genuinely incredible..holy smokes. This blows the others out of the water (not Ombre though). This is intoxicating and powerful, beautiful, WOW. 10/10. Impressed and surprised.

Also, whoever commented below that this smells like the womens Matiere Noire....what?? I'm honestly baffled, there is no similarity whatsoever between them. MN smells like a bad version of Noir de Noir, and this smells NOTHING like that...this is leather and oud?!?

And Tuscan Leather? What are you people smelling? This smells nothing like that either!

This opens up with a powdery cacao accord. You get the smell of pure unrefined cacao. It settles down and becomes slightly animalic on account of the oud. In the drydown, you get some leather and some hints of saffron. Overall, you have a spicy balsamic fragrance with some light gourmand notes. This is one of the few Louis Vuitton fragrances that stand out. Jacques Cavallier outdid himself with this creation. This one would be a perfect fit in the oriental collection.
Projection, sillage, and longevity all 10. More appropriate at night times and for a mature audience.

this is the younger brother to ombre nomade but imo smells better. it removes the smokiness from nomade and makes it a little more wearable. still super strong and can give you a headache. 2 sprays max. the beginning can be a little harsh but let it dry down as it dries down to a beautiful leathery saffrony oud with a hint of cacao

Classy dry leather and oud that warms up in the dry down.
It is basically Ombre Nomade without the rose or, at least, the rose is less prominent.
It lasts forever.
Also, there is really nothing stinky about it.
Totally wearable in all occasions.
Sported it in the office a few times now.

Oh my..

Unlike others, I don't get much of the soft drydown of this fragrance, or any softness whatsoever. I don't smell much of that sweet vanilla people are talking about. Instead this smells like the most luxurious, refined and somehow perfectly balanced bonfire to me. As if you were burning LV bags sprayed with the most beautiful fragrances and you couldn't care less because money is no issue for you. Not only that, but it's also super potent on me. Half a spray lasted me an entire day easily, without ever becoming too weak.
This fragrance is absolutely unique, not only in the LV lineup but also in what's out there at the moment - niche excluded. I get something that slightly reminds me of Gucci Guilty Absolute but it's so different at the same time.. it smells much more rounded, oud-ish and burnt, while Gucci just smells very leathery, almost medicinal. Not only does this impress with performance but also with uniqueness. However, I don't think this is for lighthearted people who just want a pleasant perfume in a beautiful bottle. This will not get you crazy amount of compliments, nor will it only draw positive attention. Those who recognize what a great work of art this is, will tell you. It's harsh, it's strong and it's unique, but it's certainly not for everyone so sample before you buy!

Before trying this, I expected a nice, soft and friendly scent because of the orange bottle. However, I do believe that not only the orange suits this very well because of the autumn-ish theme with the fire, but I also believe the name is absolutely perfect. I can not even begin to explain how absolutely amazing this fragrance is.

This is exactly what "by the fireplace" should have been. There, I said it.
