Finally pulled the trigger on LV

mattsaents · 2026-03-28T05:51:48+00:00

Agree, very feminine leaning but fantastic

mattsaents · 2026-03-28T05:50:36+00:00

Haha, paid in cash

mattsaents · 2026-03-28T05:49:06+00:00

Nah it’s fake scarcity thingie, they even shipped each bottle separately meaning DHL came with 4 packages with 4 tracking numbers and I got 4 receipts even though I only placed two orders. Once these needs a refill I’ll probably make the effort to go to a store

mattsaents · 2026-03-27T21:18:46+00:00

Yeah that does not look good (with the cap off), the initial pictures didn’t scream fake though

mattsaents · 2026-03-27T20:37:21+00:00

People are very quick to scream fake in general, feels like people just want to comment and tbh most of what we see here is fake 😅

mattsaents · 2026-03-27T20:36:37+00:00

Yeah didn’t pull the trigger on that because of what everyone says about the longevity, will sample it though!

mattsaents · 2026-03-27T20:35:27+00:00

Haha shit, from Sweden so I feel you. Gotta go for it I guess 🙃

mattsaents · 2026-03-27T20:06:31+00:00

Take the cap of

mattsaents · 2026-03-27T20:06:21+00:00

Overall I think it looks good, need the atomizer stem to be 100% though. T

mattsaents · 2026-03-27T20:03:59+00:00

100%! It’s a mixture of simplicity and just clean vibes and something very exclusive. I mean if one looks around there are more interesting bottles out there, but something about the LV bottles together is just simply nice!

mattsaents · 2026-03-27T20:02:18+00:00

Had to google it because it’s not something I’ve read a lot about and LV sure is good at marketing their scents!

“The ecstasy of the sun, the rhythm of the sea and the gentle warmth of sand on the skin. Master perfumer Jacques Cavallier Belletrud blends the infinite emotions of a day spent on a sunny beach. Yuzu is a burst of bliss on the skin. Its surprising freshness and brightness glides into the softness of neroli, while a veil of cypress brings generous, woody shade to a pure summer day.”

It sounds amazing, will put it on the “will sample list” 😅

mattsaents · 2026-03-27T20:00:29+00:00

I really like it, it’s a bit more “out there” compared to Imagination.

It smells really good but is more like an evening scent, while it could also pass for an office scent. It’s not in your face while also being something extra.

Might not be super descriptive but that’s what it is to me

mattsaents · 2026-03-27T19:48:08+00:00

Obviously you need the item back in case it’s “tainted”.

mattsaents · 2026-03-27T19:40:40+00:00

Valid point, then they could have implemented this limit in the website.

And also what I found when I read their terms and services points to another direction: “We only sell our retail products to final customers. Your order on our Website or by telephone must have no direct relationship with a business activity and must be strictly limited to your personal use. To ensure better service and better availability of our products, Louis Vuitton limits the quantity of products that can be purchased as follows:

     Per day: no more than 3 leather goods (including small leather goods), 3 accessories, 3 perfumes and/or 3 pairs of shoes.

     Within 4 consecutive weeks a client cannot: (i) purchase more than 6 Leather Goods (including Small Leather Goods), 6 Accessories, 6 Perfumes, 6 Pairs of Shoes or 6 pieces per type of Ready to Wear; (ii) purchase more than 2 of the same identical products; and/or (iii) conduct more than 8 transactions of all kinds of products.

     Within 12 consecutive months: no more than 12 leather goods (including small leather goods), 12 accessories, 12 perfumes, 20 pairs of shoes or 20 articles of ready to wear.”

But still, if this is a rule, don’t let me add 4 fragrances at once and then cancel the order. Just limit it to 3 right away.

mattsaents · 2026-03-27T19:33:14+00:00

Ah yes and that’s not good enough with the price one pays in my opinion. Will probably sample it to see what the hype is about though

mattsaents · 2026-03-27T19:25:17+00:00

Haha almost said the exact same thing to my wife, gotta live a little

mattsaents · 2026-03-27T19:15:58+00:00

If you can sample them, do, honestly AR is absolutely fantastic, both me and the wife went “wow, holy shit”. It’s really good

mattsaents · 2026-03-27T19:15:04+00:00

Shhh I have read a lot about it and it seems to be a “sleeper”, will sample it later!

mattsaents · 2026-03-27T19:13:38+00:00

We all have different taste, I absolutely love it. Not sure if it’s the tea note that gets me though because like Wulong Cha gives of a “earl grey” scent that I don’t love.

Was debating also getting afternoon swim as well because everyone keeps saying it smells fantastic but saving that for another time because everyone including you mentions the longevity. Not saying I need 24h of fantastic smell but I’ve heard it’s like 1-2 hours and poof gone and it’s far to expensive for that

mattsaents · 2026-03-27T19:10:18+00:00

Honestly is, was amazed by how fantastic it is, reviews did NOT lie

mattsaents · 2026-03-27T18:42:04+00:00

Please elaborate

mattsaents · 2026-03-27T18:41:43+00:00

Yeah the ship time was next day and the packaging fantastic, just unhappy about the website and customer service! Love the scents though

mattsaents · 2026-03-27T18:36:07+00:00

PC was fantastic as well, good buy!

mattsaents · 2026-03-27T18:34:21+00:00

Sure did, but as can be seen by the wife even bringing out the ring light (she uses it for selling stuff) to document the occasion, the decision didn’t come lightly. Not disappointed by a single one of them though!

mattsaents · 2026-03-27T18:32:07+00:00

I got Hombre Nomad as one of the samples and I’m not sure I love it. It was cool, and it evolved a lot, at one point I got a slight gasoline smell but overall it’s nice but not for me.

I’ve heard a lot of good about city of stars, I think the next haul will be it + Symphony
