Louis Vuitton Nuit de Feu is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2020, created by Jacques Cavallier-Belletrud. Nuit de Feu settles into a heart of Ambrette, Incense, and Frankincense, and dries down to a base of Musk, Leather, and Oud. Louis Vuitton's Nuit de Feu carries an Acquired verdict, a musk-led wear.

This is a seriously divisive scent. It's a smoke-and-leather bomb that some find irresistibly dark and mysterious, while others smell a pungent barnyard. Not for the faint-hearted, it’s a confident, bold statement for those who dare.

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.

When To Wear

Best Seasons

Best For:
Fall Winter

A cold-weather scent - best worn in winter and autumn.

Best Occasions

Best For:
Date Formal

Its intense, smoky, and animalic profile, coupled with strong projection mentioned in reviews, makes it unsuitable for most office environments. It excels on dates and formal evenings, particularly in colder weather, where its dark and luxurious aura can truly shine.

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.

Declarable under EU Annex III

  • Synthetic musk Hexamethylindanopyran from Musk

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

Nuit de Feu opens with a blast of dark, resinous incense, intermingling with a prominent smoky accord. The heart reveals rugged leather and rich oud, which can sometimes lean into an animalic, almost barnyard-like intensity. As it settles, a warm, balsamic sweetness emerges, softening the edges but retaining its brooding character. It's a complex, raw blend of bonfire smoke, aged leather, and deep, resonant woods.
