Fraudulent labelling

Nouveau Monde smells expensive. Very expensive. Well, not expensive scented oils and elaborate scent compositions. But expensive in the sense of expensive Porsche with leather seats, expensive leather jacket, expensive handbag.

Common to the abovementioned associated goods: leather goods. Admittedly, not with many Louis Vuitton handbags, but that's not the point here.

And for me this is also the core component of the fragrance. As is often the case with Louis Vuitton without being listed in the fragrance pyramid. An interesting idea (I'm sure this didn't happen accidentally), as a tribute to the roots of the house.

However, this is what leads to the fact that one also likes to attach a wrong expectation to a scent. I am an avowed lover of oud and also an avowed lover of gourmet fragrances (cocoa). This symbiosis seemed quite promising to me and so I sprayed some sprays from my sample in joyful expectation.

However, I did not receive the promised oud cocoa DNA, but instead a slightly aquatic-salty leather scent. Yes, I can detect slight hints of cocoa and absolutely enigmatic oud. But in the main it is simply a salty leather scent. It's not bad at all. It's quite something. But why does this "gimmick" reminder of the house's tradition have to be so present that it has to destroy the entire ambition and creative idea of this fragrance?

This could have been something very own and very special. In two ways. Because one would have - instead of realizing the creative fragrance pyramid - simply forgotten the alibi fragrance pyramid completely and instead
can release a fragrance a la "Essence d' Louis Vuitton." With the only scent "Louis Vuitton bag" This would have been a guaranteed success - without one the transfiguration of a great and creative fragrance composition.

I'm rather annoyed by this overall and don't know what it's all about. Cheers
