LVERS FRAGRANCE BY PHARRELL WILLIAMS THE SCENT OF THE SUN IS A SENSATION! Conceived through a creative dialogue between Pharrell Williams and Jacques Cavallier Belletrud and crafted in the Louis Vuitton creative atelier at Les Fontaines Parfumées in Grasse, France, for this new collaborative opus, the Master Perfumer kept a cross-generational approach at heart, involving Camille Cavallier Belletrud, perfumer at Louis Vuitton and member of the creative studio. LVERS conveys in fragrance the figurative yet familiar scent of the sun illuming the skin, energising the vitality of nature, and giving life to the organisms that surround us. This unisex fragrance has notes of cedarwood, and the clean crispness of ginger, along with fruity, zesty top notes of bergamot. Available in selected Louis Vuitton stores and at louisvuitton.bcom https://www.webtickets.co.za/v2/Event.aspx?itemid=1546444747 MZANSI BALLET…
