Bergamot, Tobacco, Leather

An indomitable signature

Through Carmen, Trudon extends the world of the iconic Ernesto candle, carrying it into a more carnal register, designed for the skin. Carmen does not seek to be an olfactory reproduction, but rather a transposition into a skin scent, through a new, noble, enveloping, and sensual composition.

Tobacco, the pillar of the original composition, gains relief and nobility here, brightened by a hint of rum. The leather is refined, worked closely to the grain, more textured, and unfurling all its sensuality. Woods and resins structure the whole without ever weighing it down, while ambroxan and a highly pure patchouli provide a contemporary vibration. The composition reveals all its facets, evolving on the skin over the hours.

Carmen is fully in line with the DNA of Trudon haute parfumerie. It expresses the House’s taste for the noblest materials, the depth of woody and resinous accords, and bold olfactory choices. A perfumery of character, where complexity is born from precise work on textures, nuances, and the evolution of the fragrance on the skin.

Imagined by perfumer Émilie Bouge, Carmen is unveiled as a Parfum, with a 15% concentration—an intensity that allows the materials to express their full breadth, relief, and nuances, and to offer exceptional longevity and sillage.
