Christian Louboutin Launches Fétiche Fragrance Collection

Christian Louboutin’s Fétiche collection celebrates his iconic journey from creating striking red-soled heels to crafting a line of fragrances that mirror the same allure, seduction, and artistry. The collection’s name, Fétiche, plays on the fascination with fetishism—a theme Louboutin embraces openly in his work. He notes that his designs are often “fetishized,” and this fragrance collection is no different.

Each scent is a carefully constructed universe, inviting both men and women to experience a luxurious olfactory journey that explores desire, obsession, and self-expression. With five fragrances, the collection speaks to the senses through unique and compelling compositions. Each bottle, inspired by the sculptural stiletto, is a piece of art in itself, capturing Louboutin's signature aesthetic.

Fétiche Le Cuir: The Seductive Power of Leather

Fétiche Le Cuir is a deep, leather-based fragrance with a seductive undertone that is both commanding and intimate. Crafted by perfumer Juliette Karagueuzoglou, this fragrance explores leather as a powerful element of attraction and strength. It begins with the richness of osmanthus, a floral note that adds depth and warmth. The leather accord blends seamlessly with this floral element, creating an experience that is at once intense and alluring. Le Cuir embodies the confidence of a woman who, dressed in leather stilettos, feels the thrill of empowerment and sensuality in every step.

Fétiche L’Encens: The Mystique of Incense and Spice

In Fétiche L’Encens, perfumer Paul Guerlain blends incense with an explosive medley of spices, creating a fragrance that is as mystical as it is inviting. The scent opens with cool peppery notes, which contrast with the warmer, spicier heart of the fragrance. L’Encens is for the person who exudes confidence effortlessly, drawing others in with a subtle, magnetic charm. As the fragrance develops, the contrast between the spices and woods builds a compelling aura of mystery, evoking the image of someone who is at once accessible and unattainable.

Fétiche L’Ambre: The Intoxicating Dance of Amber and Tuberose

Fétiche L’Ambre delves into the sultry, sensual world of amber, contrasted with the fresh floral allure of tuberose. Created by perfumer Delphine Lebeau, L’Ambre celebrates amber as a carnal, almost hypnotic element in perfumery. It wraps the skin in warm, narcotic tones, evoking the sensation of being drawn irresistibly closer. As the fragrance unfolds, tuberose brings a green freshness, adding a captivating edge to the amber. L’Ambre speaks to the woman whose mere presence commands attention, leaving behind a lingering trace of passion and allure wherever she goes.

Fétiche L’Iris: An Ode to the Refined Luxury of Iris

Fétiche L’Iris honors the timeless luxury of iris, also known as “blue gold” in perfumery, in a refined blend that celebrates the floral note’s noble characteristics. Created by perfumer Caroline Dumur, this fragrance melds the earthy, sophisticated iris with a foundation of patchouli, giving it an elegant, grounded quality. L’Iris conjures the image of a sophisticated woman seated alone, surrounded by the sounds of a busy world, yet her natural grace draws admiration from afar. The floral and earthy qualities of iris and patchouli blend to evoke a timeless elegance, leaving behind a subtle promise of allure and grace.

Fétiche L’Ébène: The Strength and Warmth of Cedarwood

Fétiche L’Ébène is a bold tribute to the raw and powerful nature of cedarwood, blended with a touch of coconut for a unique freshness. Created by Jean Christophe Hérault, L’Ébène features cedarwood in a high concentration, adding a strong, almost addictive quality to the scent. This fragrance evokes a sense of undeniable masculinity, combining strength and warmth in a captivating balance. The subtle essence of coconut enhances the composition, adding a refreshing twist to the dense cedar. L’Ébène is for the man whose presence fills the room even before he enters, creating an aura of confidence and magnetic allure.

Each fragrance in Fétiche draws you into a world where sensuality knows no bounds and expression is limitless. Through this collection, Louboutin opens a new dimension, urging you to embrace your own fétiche—whatever form it may take—and to explore a sensory experience where anything is possible.
