The Louis Vuitton Ocean BLVD colognes are a new series of fragrances created with the help of multimedia artist Alex Israel that each pay homage to the city of Los Angeles.
The fragrances are displayed in a series of models designed by Israel that see them representing different aspects of the cityscape in a decidedly playful way. The fragrances come in five options including Pacific Chill, On The Beach, City of Stars, California Dream and Rodeo Drive. The miniature cityscape that the colognes are observed in took the help of 20 artisans to be created over the course of 500 hours.
The Louis Vuitton Ocean BLVD colognes are slated to be available for purchase starting July 31, 2024 by special order.
