You didn't know? It's an ode to sunlight

LVRS by Louis Vuitton: An Ode to Sunlight in a Bottle

In an industry where each perfume competes for attention, seeking to carve out a niche for its very own, LVRS by Louis Vuitton distincts itself not as a fragrance so much as an expression of sunlight in a bottle—the essence of immaterial light made flesh. This striking creation by its...

The scent of bintsuke (hair oil) subtly floating from dignified sumo wrestlers Sumo wrestlers use a special wax called “bintsuke oil” to style their hair. When a sumo wrestler passes by, you can smell a dignified scent that faintly follows them, which includes a tint of this traditional hair oil. Eucalyptus and anise give this perfume an aromatic scent, and the notes of violet and heliotrope create a powdery scent, then turning into musk with the combination of patchouli and sandalwood. This scent represents a powerful sumo wrestler with a gentle incense-like warmth.

Top Notes

Orange, Eucalyptus, Anise

Cinnamon, Heliotrope, Violet, Orange Flower

Labdanum, Sandalwood, Patchouli, Jasmine

*Got a sample of this when I purchased the fragrance "Paper Soap" from this same house. This Doesn't smell like the description they posted on the website. I don't get anything powdery with this. To me this is a more traditional masculine fragrance where the eucalyptus and woods are the strongest. I think if the average male blind smelled this, they would assume it is an after shave. Like a 90's era, aftershave.

I took my mom and wife to Louis last Saturday and the rep sprayed it for me and threw a sample my way. It smelled okay on paper, but I haven’t had a chance to wear my sample yet.

The LV franchise of fragRance’s get rave reviews online and I have all in decants and tbh they all smell like weaker dupes of popular fragrances.

The summer fragrances don’t have much lasting power or impact for the hype they receive.

I’m with you, but Imgination and L’immensite lasts on me until next day. I’m thinking it may be a chemistry thing.

Imagination is my favorite by far it’s hard to beat a good soapy fragrance to me.

L’immensite is my wife’s favorite on me

Afternoon swim is okay. I saw complaints about longevity and tried my decant out and it lasted a good bit for me. Don’t know if I would grab a full bottle, but yeah a lot of people fall into the Louis hype.

Yeah, for their price, they def get a lil over hyped in the community but you can typically find about 2-3 (that works for you) that's

A clean, crisp fragrance that perfectly captures the best times in life.
Feel the energy. Welcome the warmth, the absolute ease. This fresh, woodsy, refreshingly masculine scent blends citrus and herbs with rich spices and rare woods. All clarified with a unique Sky Air Accord.

Capture the moment.

Top Notes:
Citrus Effervescence, Nectarine, Watery Green Leaves, Sky Air Accord

Middle Notes:
Pimento, Coriander Seed, Red Ginger

Base Notes:
Sandalwood, Iridescent Ebony, Deep Forest Moss

Bought this off Gilt after they gave me a credit to try and get me to make another purchase with it already being on sale. Barely paid for it fr.

Seen some comparisons to GIT with them both being 'clean & green', and while not unfounded completely, the similarities mainly lie in the open that gives you a soapy scent blend for a hot sec. The rest isn't all that similar wit Pleasures having more complex notes in the heart & base.

Got way more of a subtle spice to it than GIT. I like what it has going on tho. More of a kitchen sink thing. The projection compared to GIT is absolute ass tho. Gonna need to bathe in this shyt to equal it out

That's what I'm sayin'! She called it "New Brut".


Can't recommend Lacoste X Jeremyville enough though.

Rocking Ganymede for the first time.

I'm unable to describe it. I can sorta see why this was/is a fragrance community hypebeast

What do you think about Ganymede after having it for some time now?
