Louis Vuitton Ink Mark Eau de Parfum
It smells like the paper the ink dried on, not the ink itself.
What happens when Jacques Cavallier Belletrud and his daughter Camille try to bottle Chinese calligraphy? Ink Mark is the third of the Journey to China trio, and the brief was the tension between the stillness of brushwork and the noise of modern Shanghai. Most people expecting something dark and brooding get the opposite, which is the point.
It opens on sandalwood at its creamiest, close to coconut and steamed rice, with amber warming it from underneath. Then white incense arrives, distilled in Grasse through an unusual process, and brings a dry mineral freshness that reads as parchment more than smoke, with Grasse rose giving the middle its body. Then sandalwood and white frankincense carry it for seven to nine hours, meditative and unhurried.
The 100ml sits well past $300 and sold out fast after the worldwide release. Reviewers consistently rank this the best of the three. Start with 2ml, or take the discovery set and judge all three yourself.
