Orage draws on the bond between the storm and the earth, at once magical and unsettling. Jacques Cavallier-Belletrud turns it into an unexpected woody scent, in which human beings seem very fragile before the power of nature.
Iris brings its powdery nobility, vetiver its green freshness, and a heart of patchouli leaves flashes with the brightness of lightning. A majestic woody scent, to be breathed up close.

Orage in detail
Orage belongs to Louis Vuitton's men's line and, like all the house's fragrances, is signed by its master perfumer Jacques Cavallier Belletrud. Its name, meaning storm, announces a heavy sky: a dark woody fragrance in which the power of patchouli meets the powdery nobility of orris, like a flash of lightning in the night.
The house lists three main notes, without sorting them into stages. Orris gives the fragrance its powdery texture and cool light. Vetiver, dry and slightly smoky, brings an earthy greenness. Patchouli turns it into a deep, almost damp woody scent that recalls the earth after rain.
Orage is worn in autumn and winter, by day or by night: a working day in cold weather, a walk under a grey sky, an evening.
Three woody fragrances in our catalogue come close: Gris Charnel by BDK Parfums and Bosco by Sospiro share its orris and vetiver; Cri du Kalahari by Ella K Parfums also pairs orris and patchouli.
