Louis Vuitton and (RED) work in collaboration to create a new [luxury candle](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/floral-scented-candle) supporting the Global Fund to fight AIDS. Jacques Cavallier Belletrud, the [luxury fashion house's](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/la-beaut-louis-vuitton) master perfumer created the scent and the overall design was led by Marc Newson. The ceramic container boasts a clean white hue and is hand-cast -- it also features a red metal disc top and leather handles.

Cavallier Belletrid sourced fine and natural ingredients to capture a scent that represents freedom, love, purity, and warmth. This is the result of sweet and peppery blends along with [floral peony notes and raspberries](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/red-hot-fine-fragrance) as well. According to Cavallier Belletrud, the scent “has a strong universal character and with a real sense of liberty [...] I started with a peony flower accord which has a pronounced character through its highly floral elements with hints of spice, wood, and fruit. It is a perfume in itself.”
