Cire Trudon Bruma, Olim, II, Revolution & Mortel ~ new fragrances

Posted by Robin on 7 August 2017 14 Comments

Trudon perfumes

This fall, Cire Trudon will launch Trudon, a collection of 5 unisex personal fragrances: Bruma, Olim, II, Revolution and Mortel.

Bruma ~ developed by perfumer Antoine Lie. "Bruma contains a distinguished, almost animal-like sensuality. In the night, a feminine rider draws inner strength from the elements that surround her: her horse and the depth of the forest at night seem to give her a magnetic and carnal aura. Bruma (“solstice” in Latin) is intrinsically tied to the sun. And to royalty. An icy solstice, Bruma feeds on the moon and the forest to evoke the inner metamorphosis of a character in contact with the nature surrounding her." With black pepper, lavender, galbanum, violets, peony, iris, jasmine, labdanum, vetiver and tonka bean.

Olim ~ developed by perfumer Lyn Harris. "Olim represents the vanity and emotion of a royal era. Powdery notes touch on beauty; spices evoke decadence and resins hint towards opulence. Olim refers to a form of purity with an underlying richness. Olim (Latin for “once”) recalls the first four registers of the old Parliament of Paris, including the numerous texts and laws delivered to the King’s court between 1254 and 1318 under different reigns, particularly St. Louis (1214-1270). Olim shines light on the evolution of royal power and the decline of 13th-century French feudalism." With bergamot, lavender, anise, pink pepper, clove, patchouli, benzoin, myrrh and musk.

II ~ developed by perfumer Lyn Harris. "II is about new beginnings; the life of a forest that permeates through the seasons. It is sensually symbiotic, bringing elements together: a Cologne that inspires and points at a magical place. II is the alliance par excellence, the unique link that ties two beings together. II transcends and calls to the pious, revealing its fragrance like an emerald impulse." With green leaves, orange bigarade, pine, pepper, juniper, cedar, incense, ambroxan and cashmeran.

Revolution ~ developed by perfumer Lyn Harris. "Revolution is a fragrance that permeates the skin, and builds up on human emotions throughout the day. It blends in, leaving an air of mystery and intrigue around the body. The streets of Paris during the French Revolution, an odour of smoke and musket powder. Rage and intense emotions on the faces of the crowds. Houses are afire, the cobblestones awash in oil, sweaty riders are robed in black leather. A touch of incense softens the air, suggesting peace is near." With elemi, angelica, cedar, papyrus, patchouli, cade, incense, cistus and opoponax.

Mortel ~ developed by perfumer Yann Vasnier. "Skins heat up against one another, placing sensuality at the heart of Mortel; more, frankincense, myrrh and benzoin reveal the erotic spell of pure Cistus. The artist, living between shadow and light, is a mortal creature. Halfway between the religious and the revolutionary, with an unquenched thirst for eternity, Mortel is a revolutionary drive that combines virile force and natural harmonies. A fatal attraction." With black pepper, pimento, nutmeg, frankincense, mystikal (woody resinous molecule from Givaudan), Virginia cedar, cistus, myrrh and benzoin.

Trudon Bruma, Olim, II, Revolution and Mortel will debut at Barneys in New York this August, and will be available at Barneys nationwide in September. They will be available in a coffret of five 10 ml sprays ($110) or in individual 100 ml Eau de Parfum ($190).

      Yes; it’s a most sensible option.

    Can one pre-order that coffret? Asking for a friend. ;)

      Barneys often does pre-orders. I’ll certainly have it in the online shopping post when I see it.

        I just went to their website to check, just in case, but nothing yet.

        HOWEVER, I did notice that they have adorable box sets of three mini travel candles! The Royal Scents set features Trianon, Solis Rex, and La Marquise; the Odeurs Révolutionnaires set includes Prolétaire, Ernesto, and Abd El Kader. Very timely for summer vacations and hostess gifts!

    Are they also trying to debut five entries in the overwritten ad copy?
    How exactly does a forest “permeate” the seasons?;
    What lies halfway between religion and revolution? Complacency? (And how very french to presume revolution and religion are opposite ends of some spectrum. )
    Personally, I suspect that whatever constitutes the first four registers of the Parliament of Paris might smell like it could use some fresh air

    “Olim shines light on the evolution of royal power and the decline of 13th-century French feudalism.” Huh, I had no idea pink pepper could do that. All my SOTD does is smell good. Way to be lazy, Chanel No 5 l’Eau.

      Hey, “A modern, fresh and vibrant embodiment of the now and forever scent. Timeless and audacious, simple and sophisticated.” — that is not hardly lazy!

    When I came across this line a few days ago I added some of the fragrances to my watch list because their notes intrigued me. This marketing blah however nearly makes me want to unlist them again.

    Points awarded for choice of perfumers and the 10ml coffret set. Points deducted for the blah blah blah stuff.

    sign me up for the sampler as well! If these are half as good as their candles, I will be a happy camper :-)
