Louis Vuitton & Marc Newson Create A New Limited Edition Flacon D’exception Fragrance In Baccarat Crystal
Louis Vuitton presents the new Flacon d’Exception in a limited edition of 200 numbered one-of-a-kind pieces designed by Marc Newson in precious Baccarat crystal. Each limited edition fragrance is currently priced at $16,500.00.
Louis Vuitton has always striven to create objects that last and can be passed down from generation to generation. For the first time, Les Parfums Louis Vuitton are presented in a one-liter bottle made of Baccarat crystal. An original masterpiece designed for connoisseurs, the Flacon d’Exception sits on a leather base stamped with the Maison’s logo and is showcased under a glass dome like a work of art. This monumental bottle will house three of the Maison’s emblematic fragrances composed by Master Perfumer Jacques Cavallier Belletrud: Rose des Vents, an exceptional trio of roses; Matière Noire, a true olfactory kaleidoscope blending Laos agarwood with patchouli; and L’Immensité, pairing the crackle of ginger with the bitterness of grapefruit.
“For the Flacon d’Exception, I wanted to create something whimsical and fun that’s also very functional. It’s scaled up to a sculptural dimension and takes inspiration from vintage fragrance displays.”
-Marc Newson
To magnify Marc Newson’s hand-crafted design, Louis Vuitton turned to Baccarat crystalworks, which boasts 250 years of history and expertise. Drawing on age-old glassblowing techniques, Master Glassmakers fabricated the bottle using the most precious crystal. The black crystal cap features the LV Circle logo in hand-painted gold enamel, adding an exquisite touch. The bottle rests majestically on a natural leather base manufactured in Louis Vuitton’s workshops, whose delicate and sensitive leather acquires a unique, amber-toned patina.
