Louis Vuitton Heures d'Absence is an Eau de Toilette launched in 2020, created by Jacques Cavallier-Belletrud. Heures d'Absence opens with Rose and Jasmine, settles into a heart of Pittosporum, Mimosa, and Raspberry, and dries down to a base of Musk, Sandalwood, and Vanilla. Louis Vuitton's Heures d'Absence carries a Favourite verdict, a white floral-led wear.

Heures d'Absence is a perfectly pleasant floral musk that’s pretty, clean, and a bit 'meh'. Prepare for accusations of shampoo or hair dye, and a price tag that many agree is not justified for its performance and linearity. You'll either adore its delicate elegance or find it utterly boring.

When To Wear

Best Seasons

Best For:
Spring Summer

A warm-weather pick - at its best in spring and summer.

Best Occasions

Best For:
Office Casual
Also Works:
Date Sport

Its clean, light floral and musky profile makes it highly suitable for office and casual settings where an inoffensive scent is preferred. The consensus on its weak projection and longevity means it's too subtle for formal events or a standout date night, but could work for sport if you want a fresh lift.

About

Opens with a soft, clean blend of rose and jasmine, reminiscent of freshly washed linens. A delicate mimosa note emerges, adding a powdery yellow floral embrace, while a hint of juicy raspberry offers a playful, subtle sweetness. The dry down is a comforting, clean musk with a whisper of sandalwood and vanilla, settling into a gentle, sophisticated skin scent.
