The story behind the bottle.

Scentsation editorial

Fétiche Le Santal by Christian Louboutin is a Woody fragrance for women and men that was launched in 2025. The nose behind this creation is Marie Salamagne, who has crafted a composition that balances the warmth of lactonic and milky accords with the freshness of green and aromatic notes. This blend creates an intriguing contrast, where the powdery and warm spicy elements intertwine to form a rich blend. The balsamic base adds depth, ensuring that Fétiche Le Santal remains both intimate and inviting.

How to wear it

Apply Fétiche Le Santal in small amounts — its powdery and warm spicy notes can be quite potent. It’s best to layer it lightly so that it develops gradually on your skin. This fragrance is better suited for cooler weather, where the warmth of its base notes shines through.
