The limited-edition and numbered Louis Vuitton Les Extraits Murano Art Edition elevates fragrance to art. Each bottle showcases Frank Gehry’s spectacular transformation of his own design for the iconic Les Extraits cap. Magnificently hand-crafted by Murano glass Master Simone Cenedese, each cap becomes a unique, colourful and virtuoso objet d’art.
Created to mark the first anniversary of the landmark Louis Vuitton Les Extraits – a fragrance collection blended by the House’s Master Perfumer Jacques Cavallier Belletrud, which daringly reinvented the notion of the extrait de parfum, the purest and most precious form in perfumery – the new Murano Art Edition showcases one single Extrait, the radiant and immersive Symphony.
To complement the fragrance’s curving and graceful bottle, which also bears his meticulously engraved signature, legendary architect Frank Gehry has transfigured his original bottle cap into a remarkable new creation. Designed specifically to be modelled by hand in Murano glass, each of these limited-edition and numbered caps is as unique as nature itself. Resembling a kaleidoscopic imaginary flower blooming from the bottle or a collection of vivid petals caught in a breeze, the cap poetically embodies Gehry’s trademark free-flowing, yet sculptural forms.
“When we first designed the perfume bottle for Louis Vuitton Les Extraits Collection,” recalls Frank Gehry, “I had a dream of making the tops in vivid colours. Now, in collaboration with Simone Cenedese and his glass artisans, we have finally been able to realize that vision. The colours that the team has created are beautiful and ever-changing.”
The top was brought to life in Murano, the heart of traditional Venetian glassmaking, in a balletic process of constant movement between furnace and work bench that demanded all the long-honed artisanal expertise of Simone Cenedese and his three skilled assistants. For each top, the third-generation glassmaking Master blew and then sculpted black, red, blue and transparent glass. The result is a landmark feat of creativity and craftsmanship, and, ultimately, a remarkable work of art.
