We all know LV for their bags, but why is no one talking about their perfume collection? I think Louis Vuitton perfume deserves more love—it’s not just about their bag.
I got this sample from my purchase of Louis Vuitton Contre Moi (I’ll review that one later). The SA gave me two samples to try—Cœur Battant and Matière Noire. I’ve always loved trying perfume samples like these before purchasing the full-size bottle. The experience is always lovely.
I usually set my own time, at my own pace, in my bedroom. I spritz a little bit of the precious perfume juice on my wrist, close my eyes… and in that moment, I’m transported into another sweet imagination that somehow mirrors the feeling of the perfume.
The opening of Cœur Battant smells fresh and sweet on me—like a sparkle of chilled pear water mixed with sunlight. It’s fruity, but not cloying at all (I really can’t handle overly sweet, screechy scents—they tend to trigger my migraines). The fresh-fruity top note feels playful and cheerful. I think it will really appeal to young adults. It honestly made me feel young again (lol).
Then, the soft jasmine and blooming ylang-ylang come in, with a touch of greenness—probably from the narcissus. Around this time, I can also smell the patchouli, blending smoothly with the earlier sweetness. It adds an earthy tone, and there’s also something woody and mossy in the drydown, like being in a misty forest. This part of the scent feels like my younger self—full of passion and chasing my dreams.
I smiled while wearing it. This beautiful, well-blended perfume from Louis Vuitton brought back memories of how I lived fully in the past with no regrets. It made me feel grateful, and it stirred something in me—a little spark of that old fire.
That’s why I truly appreciate a fine fragrance like this. Not because it’s expensive or from LV, but because the blend is so beautifully crafted.

Even though I really enjoyed my time with Coeur Battant, I don’t think it suits my current self anymore. It feels like a younger version of me. But if you’re in your 20s or early 30s, I believe you’ll fall in love with this scent—especially if you like something fresh, fruity, yet slightly grounded but still elegant. This is a very feminine fragrance.
In my opinion, Coeur Battant can be worn from day to night. It’s light and fun enough to wear for brunch or hangouts with friends, and soft and romantic enough for a dinner date. I bet your date would love this scent on you (if he’s into sweet, feminine women). ;D
If you want to try one of my LV fragrances for women, you can get the decant here (Indonesia only). I’ll share my full review on that one next time. Xx
