The story behind the bottle.

Scentsation editorial

Tornade Blonde by Christian Louboutin was launched in 2016 and crafted by perfumer Olivier Cresp. This Chypre Floral fragrance opens with rhubarb and violet leaf, creating a fresh, green contrast to the rich floral heart of Bulgarian rose, jasmine sambac, gardenia, and orange blossom. The base notes of ambergris, cedar, sandalwood, and patchouli ground this composition in warmth and depth, ensuring that Tornade Blonde is both vibrant and enduring.

How to wear it

Apply Tornade Blonde to pulse points for an immediate burst of freshness from the top notes. The floral heart will develop over time, so give it a few minutes before reapplying if you want more intensity. It pairs well with light layers like blouses and dresses.
