French luxury maison Louis Vuitton's first fragrance launch in almost a century sees the use of some of the most intricate techniques, under the expertise of master perfumer Jacques Cavallier Belletrud.

Les Parfums Louis Vuitton

There&rsquo;s nothing more satisfying than the smell of good leather, but now that Louis Vuitton&rsquo;s launching its&nbsp;first series of fragrances in almost 90 years, we&rsquo;re quite sure that record would easily be beaten.

The collection of seven women&rsquo;s scents &ndash; simply titled Les Parfums Louis Vuitton &ndash; are inspired by the trunk-maker&rsquo;s love for fine travel accessories, and because it&rsquo;s&nbsp;<a href="http://eu.louisvuitton.com/eng-e1/homepage">Louis Vuitton</a>, expect nothing but the best. For starters, the French maison has engaged master perfumer Jacques Cavallier Belletrud to not only create the scents using some of the world&rsquo;s most prized ingredients, but to also develop exclusive fragrance palettes exclusive to the brand.

Using unprecedented fragrance extraction technology, Belletrud retrieves the exquisite scent of Louis Vuitton&rsquo;s leather via complex procedures that include steeping the leather in alcohol until a clear liquid is obtained (explained in the video below). The technicality doesn&rsquo;t stop there; floral scents are derived via a supercritical CO2 extraction method, so precious fresh flowers like roses and jasmines don&rsquo;t lose their exquisite and delicate scent facets.

Each of the seven fragrances of Les Parfums Louis Vuitton&nbsp;&ndash; Rose des Vents, Turbulences, Dans la Peau, Apogee, Contre Moi, Matiere Noire and Mille Feux &ndash; will be sold in 100- and 200-ml sizes, and will set you back by a slightly more extravagant SGD370&nbsp;and SGD540 respectively, but like they say, you get what you pay for.

Watch as Jacques Cavallier Belletrud shares his inspiration and explains the aforementioned leather extraction technique.
