French luxury footwear brand Christian Louboutin has launched The Fétiche collection, with five fragrances: Fétiche L’Ambre, Fétiche L’Ébène, Fétiche Le Cuir, Fétiche L’Encens and Fétiche L’Iris.

Fétiche L’Ambre ~ "Heady and hypnotic, Christian Louboutin’s Fétiche L’Ambre eau de parfum is an encapsulation of subtle sensuality. Leaving an alluring trail of passion, warm amber wraps around the green floral facets of tuberose – perfumes’ most carnal flower – before contrasting with earthy patchouli notes." //  “I wanted to reinterpret this (amber) signature by introducing an unexpected clash of green freshness, contrasted by patchouli”, says Delphine Lebeau, Master Parfurmer.

Fétiche L’Ébène ~ "Embodying strength and seduction at once, Christian Louboutin’s Fétiche L’Ébène eau de parfum is both refreshing and alluring. Adding a captivating dimension to the sensory experience, a splash of coconut contrasts with highly dense doses of deep cedarwood, creating a burst of irresistible freshness that fills the air with your every movement." // “Cedarwood is an exceptional ingredient… that I wanted to sublimate by overdosing its woody depth… a true Haute Parfumerie signature”, explains Jean Christophe Hérault, Master Parfumer.   

Fétiche Le Cuir ~ "A fierce fragrance, like a caress on the skin, Christian Louboutin’s Fétiche Le Cuir eau de parfum is an exploration into leather as you’ve never known it – reinvented softer, deeper and distractingly sensual. Boasting a natural richness, the sumptuous note transcends on a journey into deep facets of osmanthus, providing a peachy, skin-like warmth, that’s anchored by a vibrant, silky-suede base drenched in musks." // “The sumptuousness of leather through the natural richness, sensual and deep facets of osmanthus” - Juliette Karagueuzoglou, Master Parfurmer.

Fétiche L’Encens ~ "Captivating and enigmatic, Christian Louboutin’s Fétiche L’Encens eau de parfum sees incense – as mystical as it is precious – contrasted by an explosive cocktail of spice. A bold blend of fiery and cool tones is met with a burst of freshness, enhanced by pepper, that evolves into alluring spices and warm woods." // “Incense, as mystical as it is precious, is contrasted by an explosive cocktail of spice” - Paul Guerlain, Master Parfurmer.

Fétiche L’Iris ~ "A homage to one of the most noble and refined ingredients in perfumery, Christian Louboutin’s Fétiche L’Iris fragrance celebrates the splendour of the iris. Also known as ‘blue gold’, the scent stands tall, nobly imparting its powerfully delicate aroma before meeting patchouli, floral and earthy notes that evoke an air of timeless elegance and ignite an invisible flame of desire." // “This is an homage to one of the most noble and refined ingredients in perfumery. A creation that celebrates the splendor of Iris” - Caroline Dumur, Master Parfumer.
