Les Extraits Collection began in 2021 with five fragrances: Dancing Blossom, Cosmic Cloud, Rhapsody, Symphony, and Stellar Times — each representing a different major olfactive family, each constructed without the conventional pyramid structure that has governed fine perfumery since the 19th century. "I wanted to venture where no one goes anymore," Cavallier Belletrud said at the collection's launch. "To deconstruct the very architecture of perfume." Frank Gehry designed the sculptural bottle — his first-ever perfume bottle — drawing inspiration from his passion for sailing: an aluminum cap froissed to evoke a transparent sail moving through space, capped above Marc Newson's original apothecary glass body. "It's not a finished geometric form," Gehry said. "It's just movement. Visual movement with the added interest of ephemerality." The bottle and the fragrance share the same formal conviction: that beauty achieved through deconstruction is more honest than beauty achieved through convention.

Myriad — the sixth extrait — centers on oud sourced from an exclusive supplier in Bangladesh, a raw material Cavallier Belletrud describes as having been in his creative consideration for five years. "The price of the oud is the same price as gold," he told Whitewall. "I wanted to create an extrait because of the exceptional quality of this particular material." The composition gives the oud its paradox — woody, deep, spicy, and ambery at its core, yet lifted to an unexpected airiness through jasmine, rose, saffron, cocoa, ambrette, and white musk. Light and dark simultaneously. The bottle's rich berry hue makes the contradiction visible before the fragrance is applied. An extrait that demonstrates Cavallier Belletrud's central conviction: that in raw materials, there is always a reason to surprise.

Fantasmagory — launched October 16, 2025, the seventh extrait — takes its concept from 18th-century illumination shows: phantasmagoria, the early magic lantern performances in which light and projected images created dreamlike spectacles for an audience in darkened rooms. Cavallier Belletrud concentrated the essence of vanilla — flower and pod simultaneously — transforming it into what he describes as "an illusion of luminous light and voluptuous softness," brightened by ginger and extended by almonds toward an amaretto softness, with a subtle leather facet in the base that prevents the sweetness from becoming unambiguous. Gehry redesigned the bottle cap for this edition: a wind-blown flower of fluttering silver petals, the glass itself a bright soft yellow with green shifts as light moves across it. A bottle conceived to represent the fragrance as it dissipates — the scent made visible in the object that contains it.

The initial 2016 collection — Les Parfums Louis Vuitton — established Cavallier Belletrud's Louis Vuitton vocabulary before Les Extraits arrived to deconstruct it. Seven fragrances organized around the house's founding mythology: travel, the world's raw materials, the spirit of departure. Attrape-Rêves for dreamers. Turbulences for the bold. Dans la Peau for the intimate. Matière Noire for the shadows. Rose des Vents for navigators. Heures d'Absence for those who have left. Each is a fully developed Eau de Parfum built on exceptional raw materials from the Grasse gardens, structured conventionally but with the same quality of material and the same formal intelligence that characterizes everything Cavallier Belletrud produces. The foundational collection against which Les Extraits are understood as the departure point for somewhere further.

Les Fontaines Parfumées — the Perfumed Fountains — is the Louis Vuitton fragrance atelier at Grasse: a historic estate surrounded by gardens of herbs, fruit trees, flowers, and plants, some cultivated exclusively for the house's fragrances. It is simultaneously a laboratory, a garden, and a living archive of the raw materials that French fine perfumery has used since the 17th century. Cavallier Belletrud works there daily, surrounded by the plants that will become his compositions — jasmine, rose, tuberose, osmanthus, iris — and draws his formal inspiration from the air itself, from what he describes as "the scents stirred in the air that wafts through Grasse." The atelier is not a facility. It is a position: that the best perfumery begins in the field before it begins in the laboratory, and that a perfumer who does not know what his raw materials smell like before they are processed cannot make the finest possible use of them.

In 2024, Louis Vuitton introduced LVERS — a new fragrance project conceived in collaboration with Pharrell Williams, the house's creative director for menswear, who brought his particular understanding of sensory experience and cultural optimism to the olfactory vocabulary of the house. Williams, who was the final torchbearer at the 2024 Paris Olympics opening ceremony while representing Louis Vuitton, described LVERS as "sunshine in a bottle." The fragrance extends the house's commitment to producing scent as a cultural statement rather than merely a commercial product — perfumery understood as one more dimension of the world that Louis Vuitton builds, from trunks to haute joaillerie to fragrance, with the same conviction that every object should be the finest version of what it can be.
