Christian Louboutin Loubirouge is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2020, created by Marie Salamagne. Loubirouge opens with Cardamom, settles into a heart of Iris, and dries down to a base of Vanilla. Christian Louboutin's Loubirouge carries a Favourite verdict, a sweet-led wear.

Divisive, powdery iris with a warm spicy kick. Some adore its elegant simplicity, others find it too musky, linear, or just plain boring. Best for those who know they love iris done with a cardamom-vanilla twist.

Top, heart and base are the brand's own listing, not a timing claim - the industry classifies a note by its character as much as by how fast it fades. Each curve here is modelled from that material's own volatility, so groups can overlap when a house lists long-lasting materials in its heart.

When To Wear

Best Seasons

Best For:
Fall Winter
Also Works:
Spring

A cold-weather scent - best worn in autumn and winter.

Best Occasions

Best For:
Date Formal
Also Works:
Casual

Its intimate projection makes it suitable for office wear, but its sensual and elegant character really shines on dates and formal evenings. The warm, spicy profile isn't suited for active or casual daytime settings, especially due to its perceived lack of longevity by some.

Declarable allergens

We derive these from the materials behind this fragrance's notes, not from the bottle. Each one is likely, not confirmed. The list is partial - the box can name others.

The large name is the everyday one. The small name is the INCI form on the box, so you can compare the two. Reactions differ between people. A patch-test panel is not a ranking of risk. How we derive this

About

Loubirouge opens with a vibrant, almost peppery cardamom that quickly introduces a sophisticated, lipstick-like iris. This floral heart gradually softens into a creamy, non-gourmand vanilla, creating a dry, warm, and subtly sweet skin scent. It balances spicy aromatics with powdery florality and a comforting vanilla base.
