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%.
Created by Émilie Bouge, Midnight Omen is a richly layered woody amber fragrance that evokes the pull of the unknown. Enigmatic and bold, it hints at omens – good or bad – and keeps the wearer guessing. Seduction, danger, intrigue: each note whispers a secret.
A powerful composition, Midnight Omen opens with bright mandarin, unfolds into a heart of iris and violet, and settles on a base of suede-like leather and rare Nepalese sandalwood.
“I wanted to create an amber woody fragrance of rare depth. Midnight Omen highlights iris – the richest raw material in perfumery – leather and moss. At the heart of the fragrance, I worked the leather in a suede-like way, blending it with violet notes, cashmere wood and Nepalese sandalwood, an exceptional raw material. In the base, a moss accord – complete with patchouli, ambroxan and musks – lends a unique depth to the fragrance.” – Émilie Bouge, perfumer.

HOW IT WEARS
Immediately upon spritzing Midnight Omen, you’re met with its fresher, more floral notes – mandarin, peony, and violet. Mineralic saffron then warms the fragrance, revealing notes of leather, sandalwood, iris and cashmeran, which together make the composition feel creamy, smooth, and suede-like on the skin. The earthy base notes provide an edge to the scent, making it feel even more seductive and mysterious. Midnight Omen will last on the skin for 8+ hours, and leave an irresistible trail behind you wherever you go.
LORE LOVES
To us, Midnight Omen feels like the combination of a few of the fragrances in Trudon’s core line – it has elements of Absolu, Vixi and then an added je ne sais quoi that just takes it to the next level. It’s aromatic yet warm, smooth yet spicy, earthy but never dirty. It feels unmistakably classy, but still with a playful enough edge that it’s not unapproachable. Imagine Midnight Omen as the scent of a whirlwind European romance – you go for drinks and dinner and Michelin star restaurants, stay at 5-star hotels, go for walks along the Seine or the sea together. All of this right up until the day it ends, something you knew was coming since the night you locked eyes with them for the first time, and all that will remain of them is their fragrance… Midnight Omen.
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.
