In a move to raise fragrance to an even more luxurious experience, Christian Louboutin has launched three perfume oils to enhance his recently launched trio of prestige signature women’s fragrances: Bikini Questa Sera, Tornade Blonde and Trouble in Heaven.
Louboutin says, “I wanted to evoke the mystery and opulence of perfume, to renew the way precious oils were treasured in the past and to celebrate woman and her desires.”
According to the famed designer, these perfume oils caress the skin; they are the most indulgent and sensuous way for a woman to apply fragrance and to delight in her
femininity. Further, Louboutin says that the alchemy of precious oil touching the skin produces a scent that is utterly personal to the woman wearing it.
The perfume oil is an elixir containing the highest concentration of fragrance oil and no added water or alcohol, which means it provides a more intimate experience than a conventional form of fragrance. The oil features the same unique olfactive construction as the fragrance, which is what Louboutin calls the “ping."
The first burst of scent, like the striking of a piano key, he says, is followed by a beautiful resonance of scent as the note echoes its sound. “There is one present moment,” says Louboutin, “and then there is the trace, le sillage, I think of it as its memory.”
With a nod toward the ritual of beauty, the perfume oil is applied with a glass dabber contained within the bottle, so that a woman can ‘stroke’ on the fragrance in a feminine and elegant gesture.
The bottles for each of the three perfume oils feature the same symbolic colorways as the fragrance bottles: deep amber and gold of Bikini Questa Sera, warm garnet and light gold ombré of Tornade Blonde and royal purple and gold of Trouble in Heaven. A unique and luxurious metallic finish gives the bottles an iridescent, radiant effect and differentiates the oils within the Christian Louboutin fragrance range.
On-counter from November 2016, the oils will retail for $320 each.
