Trudon 45° Parfum 15ml

Part of Trudon’s Nuit Rouge collection, a trio of exquisite high concentration fragrances created as an ode to opulence. On the Nuit Rouge, the night comes alive – bold, enigmatic, and cloaked in red. Each of its fragrances captivate you with their mystery, casting striking silhouettes defined by luxury, refinement and sensation.

Imagined by the iconic noses Émilie Bouge and Yann Vasnier, the Nuit Rouge parfums are crafted from the finest raw materials and textured ingredients, with each fragrance boasting a parfum concentration of 20%.

Boldly seductive and unforgettable, Yann Vasnier’s 45° flirts with a rising temperature. Built around a trio of vanillas, it achieves sensuality, unleashes passion, and reveals carnal facets. Addictive, it offers an audacious reinterpretation of vanilla, adding a compelling yet playful unexpected twist to the most popular note in perfumery.

“Inspired by the idea of fusing the richness of vanilla with that of a balmy honey, I sought to express the warmth, sensuality and elegance of vanilla through a complex, nuanced trio. 45° brings together the animalic notes of Madagascar vanilla, the liquorish facets of CO2 vanilla and the creamy, floral sweetness of ex-girofle vanillin. In the heart, Laos benzoin adds a sensual, mysterious dimension, which honey-base notes complement. 45° explores the creamy sweetness of vanilla, the resinous richness of benzoin and the intoxicating warmth of honey.” – Yann Vasnier, perfumer.

HOW IT WEARS 
Beginning with a drizzle of golden, syrupy honey, as 45° develops it gets even more warm and golden on the skin. The various vanilla notes sit in the heart of this fragrance, their purity allowing you to experience all the different facets vanilla has to offer – it’s sweet, warm, creamy, spicy, even a little balsamic. Accented by benzoin and georgywood that add a slighty woody, ambery edge to the scent, we find that 45° lasts on the skin easily for 8 hours. Its projection is powerful – get ready to be complimented when you wear this fragrance!

LORE LOVES 
Vanilla fragrances have been popular for decades, but they’ve been trending even more so recently. This begs the question: can you really create a vanilla fragrance that’s sufficiently different to all the others on the market? Trudon, or more specifically Yann Vasnier, answer that question with a resounding YES. 45° is a rich, opulent, honeyed vanilla that through its use of pure raw materials and creative extraction techniques allows you to experience a hyper-realistic vanilla, just like the caviar scraped straight out of the bean. What really takes it to the next level is the addition of honey, georgywood and resins to that vanilla, tempering sweetness, rendering the fragrance completely irresistible. How it smells plus its incredible lasting power and projection means it feels expensive, luxe, and more than anything else, seductive. Make no mistake, 45° is as sexy as it is delicious, and will get temperatures rising whenever and wherever you wear it.

ABOUT THE BRAND
Founded in 1643, Trudon is the oldest wax manufacturer in the world.
In 1640s Paris, Claude Trudon, a convenience store owner, began to make tapered candles with a new methodology he had developed, utilising a special blend of beeswax and vegetable wax. His high-quality candles rapidly gained popularity, as they didn’t warp, smoke or splutter, and therefore didn’t cause fires!
In 1702, Trudon opened a factory so that their highly sought-after candles could be manufactured on a larger scale. Before long, their secret wax formula (still used today!) attracted the attention of the Crown. The house of Trudon became the candle provider to the Royal Court of Louis XIV, as well as many of the great churches of France. Louis XIV was so impressed with their candles that he issued a seal of approval with his official family crest. This crest can now be seen affixed to every Trudon product, with the addition of the motto “Deo regique laborant”, which means: “they (the bees) work for God and the King”, a nod to the creature that made their successful wax formula possible!
By the mid-17th century, Trudon had become the largest wax manufacturer in France. As candle makers to the Royal Court, Trudon were commissioned to make candles for many French icons – from Louis XIV to Marie Antoinette to Napoleon Bonaparte. Napoleon actually commissioned Trudon to make a candle for the birth of his son – rumoured to be the only gift he ever gave him – a black candle made in his likeness, adorned in gold.
Fast forward to 2007 when the house took the name Trudon and became the leading specialist in manufacturing perfumed candles. All their candles are still hand-made, using traditional production methods akin to those Claude Trudon would have used in the 1600s. In their Normandy factory, each candle is hand-poured into hand-blown vessels from Tuscany. Today, Trudon has extended their range to a line of genderless perfumes in addition to their variety of options for luxuriously fragrancing your space.
