Louis Vuitton Flacon d’Exception

In November 2021, Louis Vuitton unveiled a limited edition of 200 Flacon d’Exception. Resting on a base of leather and contained within an elegant glass dome, the Marc Newson-designed piece houses one of three of the maison’s signature fragrances: Rose des Vents, Matière Noire and L’Immensité. Crafted from precious Baccarat crystal using an ancient glass-blowing technique, each fragrance represents the work of master perfumer Jacques Cavallier Belletrud, and is stamped with the LV logo in gold enamel.

“For the Flacon d’Exception, I wanted to create something whimsical and fun that was also very functional. It is scaled to a sculptural dimension and is inspired by vintage fragrance displays,” Newson explains.
