    LES PARFUMS LOUIS VUITTON: LES FONTAINES PARFUMÉES

    The world’s perfume capital, Grasse is an emblematic town on the French Riviera; a domain with a key asset: spring water which runs through the town, and has shaped its history.

    The Maison Louis Vuitton unveils its creative atelier in the heart of Grasse, an emblematic domain.
    One need only pass through the wrought iron gates of the property - Les Fontaines Parfumées - to immediately forget the cars racing up and down the Route Napoleon. Suddenly, you feel the cool shade of majestic trees along the main avenue. You can already hear the flow of La Foux, Grasse’s historical spring, as it courses through small stone channels, past the fountain and down to the old mill below.
    A little farther on, one arrives at the main building with its beautiful terrace; named Les Fontaines Parfumées, or “the scented fountains”, this property has an actual perfume fountain installed in the rotunda since the 1920s where visitors would come to fill their bottles directly.
    This estate is now the cornerstone of Louis Vuitton perfumes and will serve as an olfactory creative center for LVMH.

    Les Parfums Louis Vuitton: available from September 2016.

    LES PARFUMS LOUIS VUITTON: JACQUES CAVALLIER BELLETRUD

    Itinerary of a Grasse native.

    Named Maître Parfumeur of Louis Vuitton in 2012, Jacques Cavallier Belletrud traveled the world for four years to perfect the first collection of Louis Vuitton perfumes.
    As a schoolboy in Grasse, Jacques Cavallier Belletrud would walk by an imposing portal. He had no idea what sat behind the wrought iron gates that so intrigued him. Little could he have imagined that, in 2016, this very place would become his creative workshop.
    At the age of eight, Jacques Cavallier Belletrud went to his father, a perfumer, and told him he wanted to follow in his footsteps. He learned perfume notes the way other children practiced piano scales. When he got good grades in school, his father allowed him to weigh out formulas. The day after receiving his high school diploma, he began working in a perfume factory in Grasse, where he learned to distill flowers. At 18, he created his first formula — but his father reminded him that becoming a perfumer takes much more than mixing a few scents together...

    Land Rover BAR gained second place in the last of Sunday’s three races, which gave them the overall regatta win at the Louis Vuitton America’s Cup World Series Portsmouth event.

    Sir Ben Ainslie is the man carrying the hopes of the UK fans who did turn out in their thousands to cheer on the Land Rover BAR team. His words during the press conference were quite premonitory “Last year was massive, being able to win this event as a new team, and obviously the aim is to do that again this time”.

    The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge were on hand to present the awards and it was a fitting end to an amazing weekend of action for the British fans in Portsmouth.

    The win also put the British team into first place on the overall Louis Vuitton America’s Cup World Series leaderboard, overtaking Emirates Team New Zealand who drop to third with ORACLE TEAM USA in second, Softbank Team Japan in fourth, Artemis Racing fifth and Groupama Team France in sixth.
