Cire Trudon, the oldest candle makers in the world, have stepped into the realm of scent. Simply named Trudon, the new perfume line still claims references to religion, royalty and revolution. And yet breaks free from them. Three highly praised perfumers - Lyn Harris, Antoine Lie and Yann Vasnier - infuse the collection with rich historical notes that are meaningful today. They compose five contemporary chapters: in each one, noble, natural ingredients take centre stage. Neither feminine nor masculine, the perfumes contain an olfactory complexity that hints at a character rather than a gender.

A master of haute parfumerie, Maison Trudon extends its expertise with five stand-alone references: Bruma, Olim, II, Revolution, and Mortel.
