Louis Vuitton Turbulences is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2016, created by Jacques Cavallier-Belletrud. Turbulences opens with Jasmine, settles into a heart of Rose, Tuberose, and Magnolia, and dries down to a base of Musk, Leather, and Sandalwood. Louis Vuitton's Turbulences carries a Statement verdict, a floral-led wear.

Turbulences is a divisive one: a full-throttle, creamy tuberose that some find intoxicatingly sexy and others just plain odd. It's a bold, heady floral with an unexpected earthy twist, definitely not for the faint-hearted. It's sadly discontinued, so good luck finding a bottle!

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:
Spring Summer Fall Winter

Versatile across every season - no clear seasonal preference from wearers.

Best Occasions

Best For:
Date Formal
Also Works:
Casual

Its eternal longevity and strong sillage make it too imposing for most office environments. However, the sensual leather and intoxicating florals are perfect for dates, and its sophisticated depth works well for formal occasions and even adds a touch of luxury to casual wear.

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

  • Geraniol from Rose

Other declarable allergens

  • Sandalwood Santalol from Sandalwood
  • 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

Opens with an unapologetic blast of jasmine, quickly joined by a rich, creamy tuberose that dominates the composition. Rose and magnolia add a plush, almost bubblegum-like sweetness, often with an intriguing earthy, mushroomy undertone. As it dries, a luxurious, soft leather emerges, seamlessly blended with warm sandalwood and a clean musk, creating a sensual, sophisticated floral leather that's both elegant and a bit wild.
