Louis Vuitton Cœur Battant is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2019, created by Jacques Cavallier-Belletrud. Cœur Battant opens with Cascalone and Pear, settles into a heart of Jasmine, Ylang-Ylang, and Narcissus, and dries down to a base of Patchouli and Oakmoss. Louis Vuitton's Cœur Battant carries a Statement verdict, a green-led wear.

This one's a mixed bag, to put it mildly. Some find it a masterpiece of fruity-floral sophistication, while others recoil in horror from its mossy-patchouli drydown. Definitely not a safe blind buy, prepare for a polarising experience.

Scent Profile

Composition

Timeline

Showing: Overall Blend

Top, heart and base are the brand's own listing, not a timing claim - the industry classifies a note by its character as much as by how fast it fades. Each curve here is modelled from that material's own volatility, so groups can overlap when a house lists long-lasting materials in its heart.

Declarable allergens

We derive these from the materials behind this fragrance's notes, not from the bottle. Each one is likely, not confirmed. The list is partial - the box can name others.

In standard patch-test panels

  • Oakmoss Evernia prunastri extract from Oakmoss

Other declarable allergens

  • Ylang-ylang Cananga Odorata Flower Extract from Ylang-Ylang

The large name is the everyday one. The small name is the INCI form on the box, so you can compare the two. Reactions differ between people. A patch-test panel is not a ranking of risk. How we derive this

About

Opens with a juicy, watery pear and a fresh aquatic hit, quickly swirling into a lush bouquet of jasmine, narcissus, and sweet ylang-ylang. The base offers a divisive chypre backbone of earthy patchouli and green oakmoss, balancing the initial sweetness but occasionally veering into "wet rock" territory for some. It's a complex journey from bright fruit to deep forest floor.
