Trouble in Heaven

The hiss of an espresso machine two seconds before the cup arrives, where the crispness of citrus meets the earthy richness of spices and florals.

The story behind the bottle.

Scentsation editorial

Launched in 2016 by Christian Louboutin, Trouble in Heaven is an Oriental Floral fragrance that blends unexpected contrasts. The composition opens with the brightness of bergamot and cascalone, which cuts through the richness of iris and rose to create a tension between freshness and warmth. As it evolves, the scent reveals its earthy patchouli and woody base notes, anchored by tonka bean and labdanum, offering a powdery and spicy finish that is both intriguing and captivating.

How to wear it

Apply this fragrance in light layers — the bright top notes fade within an hour but allow the warm, spicy base to emerge gradually. Ideal for daytime wear when you want a subtle yet complex scent that evolves throughout the day.
