The Trudon family cut their manufacturing teeth supplying the French monarchy and Napoleon (officially the coolest – and shortest – celebrity fan on the site) and have continued to produce beautifully packaged, expertly perfumed artisan products ever since, much to the delight of curators of über-cool candles everywhere. Expanding their legacy and bringing sublime scent from home to body, Cire Trudon has developed a range of gorgeous, genderless perfumes – including the ‘mystical, spicy’ Mortel Eau de Parfum. An opulent and warm fragrance, Mortel opens with woody cistus and rich incense before opening out with subtly spicy black pepper, frankincense and myrrh.
