Christian Louboutin
Red-soled glamour, translated into scent.
Christian Louboutin is a Paris fashion house founded in 1991 by the eponymous designer, best known for the lacquered red sole that has been its trademark since 1992. The footwear remains the core business; fragrance, beauty and accessories arrived as extensions of that aesthetic rather than as separate ventures. The perfumery line launched in 2016 under licence with Puig, the Spanish family-owned beauty group that also handles Jean Paul Gaultier and Carolina Herrera. Compositions lean opulent and architectural — heavy florals, oud, leather, vanilla — presented in faceted bottles whose stoppers echo the studs and heels of the brand's footwear. The Loubiworld collection, unveiled in 2020, frames each release as a destination in an imaginary atlas. Louboutin fragrance suits a wearer who already lives inside the house's visual language — high-shine, slightly theatrical, unembarrassed about being seen — and treats scent as the final layer of that costume.

Each column is an era. Each colored band shows that family’s share of accord weight across every perfume the house released in that window. Bigger band = the house leaned harder on that family.
