Trudon Mystique Parfum 100ml

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%.

Émilie Bouge’s second creation for Nuit Rouge, Mystique channels spiritual intensity and mystical allure. This fragrance draws us into a secret world of ritual and magic, where smoke and leather reveal an almost incantatory nature.
Mystique is as mysterious as it is refined and creates a powerful and intense sillage: the rare, somber, and intense leather is accompanied by the majesty of the woody and smoky notes of oud and refined, suave amber.

“Extremely rich and textured, Mystique marries leather, oud and amber. A nod to the color red, a saffron headnote announces the leather. In the heart, sandalwood and papyrus complement oud, showcased here for its sweet, modern character. In the base, majestic orange amber blends with ebony: the suave, refined nature of these intense notes comes as a surprise.” – Émilie Bouge, perfumer.

HOW IT WEARS 
Beginning with the bright warmth of saffron and crisp cedar, it doesn’t take long before Mystique begins to deepen and intensify on the skin. The dry, almost smoky woodiness of papyrus melds with leather and sandalwood next, before the fragrance reveals its sticky, resinous base of oud, amber and patchouli. Mystique easily lasts 8+ hours on the skin, with a sillage that extends far enough to garner intrigue and dare way say it… mystique!

LORE LOVES 
Trudon couldn’t possibly have done a luxe collection like Nuit Rouge without a deep, rich, woody oudy leather fragrance, and Mystique is just that. What sets Mystique apart is the combination of papyrus oud, two ancient perfumery ingredients which together create a distinct feeling of opulence and power. For those who like a leathery oud fragrance that lasts, projects, and draws on the power of perfumers and alchemists alike, look no further than Mystique.

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.
