Dark chocolate, oud, and smoky woods with a coffee-like richness It opens on Tuscan Iris.
Nouveau Monde leans into the darker side of the Louis Vuitton collection. The opening is dominated by cocoa and oud — earthy, slightly bitter, and immediately attention-grabbing. Black pepper adds a sharp spice that keeps it from feeling too gourmand. As the heart develops, the oud becomes more pronounced and pairs beautifully with the chocolate undertones. The base is all about smoky woods and a subtle sweetness from the cocoa that lingers. This is a cold weather fragrance through and through. Heavy, rich, and unapologetically bold.
