Trudon Carmen Parfum 100ml

Carmen is the heroine of Bizet's opera and the tobacco factory is where her story starts. Trudon gave her name to a perfume built from its own Ernesto candle.

The house is clear that it is not a copy. Émilie Bouge kept the spirit of Ernesto and rebuilt the rest for skin. Bergamot, grapefruit and rum at the top. Oak wood, clove, leather and tobacco in the heart. Ambroxan, labdanum, moss and patchouli at the base.

Next to the candle the tobacco goes deeper, lifted by the rum. The leather is closer to the touch. The ambroxan and patchouli give it an edge the wax never had.

Trudon says it changes on the skin over hours. No candle in a room can do that.
