Cœur Battant
by Louis Vuitton
Cœur Battant by Louis Vuitton presents a bright, juicy pear opening layered over soft white and yellow florals, driven by jasmine, narcissus, and ylang-ylang, creating a florally sweet and elegant aura. The composition evolves into a subtle, mossy patchouli base that adds depth but is described as distinctly present by some, leading to a fragrant complexity that feels both luxurious and slightly dated. It's especially well-suited to warmer seasons, with moderate to strong sillage and a lasting presence that some find overpowering or head-aching due to the patchouli-imbued dry-down. The scent bears strong affinities to vintage floral scents like Liz Claiborne and early 00s celebrity fragrances, with comparisons to My Burberry Blush and Attrape-Reves, though many find it more pointedly sweet and floral than those blends.
Pros
- +A luminous, fresh pear and floral opening that feels modern, elegant, and instantly appealing
- +Longevity and sillage that are strong enough to earn compliments and stand out in a room
- +An opulent, well-blended composition that feels higher quality and refined, reminiscent of luxury lifestyle and timeless style
Cons
- −The patchouli base is described as dominant and confrontational by some, leading to a cloying or headache-inducing dry-down
- −Some users find the moss and musk aspects slightly masculine or soapy, disrupting the feminine floral intent
- −The scent is unusually strong and polarizing, making it less ideal for daily wear and not recommended as a safe blind buy for sensitive or cautious noses
