Cire Trudon Nuit Rouge: Discover the Limited-Edition Fragrance Collection at Paul Edmonds
At Paul Edmonds, we believe that fragrance is more than just an accessory it is a mood, a memory, and a signature of style. Much like the perfect haircut, colour, or treatment, the right fragrance is transformative. It tells the world who you are without words.
That is why we are delighted to welcome the Nuit Rouge Collection from Cire Trudon into our fragrance offering. Bold, enigmatic, and wrapped in deep ruby-red lacquered glass, this limited-edition trio of perfumes pushes the boundaries of refinement and luxury.
Already celebrated as the world’s oldest active candle maker, Cire Trudon has been synonymous with French heritage, artistry, and opulence since the 17th century. Their move into haute perfumery brought that same sensibility into a bottle, and Nuit Rouge is their most daring collection yet.
The Legacy of Cire Trudon – From Candlelight to Couture Fragrance
Founded in 1643, Maison Trudon lit the halls of Versailles and the courts of Louis XIV. Its candles became symbols of luxury and culture, with craftsmanship passed down through centuries.
Today, the brand has evolved into a modern icon while honouring its past. The candle collection remains its beating heart each piece hand-poured in Normandy, infused with scents that range from the refreshing green burst of Abd El Kader to the tobacco-leather richness of Ernesto.
More recently, Cire Trudon has expanded into fine fragrances wearable works of art that carry the same DNA of history, artistry, and depth. Perfumes like Bruma, Mortel, and Medie have become modern cult classics, adored by those who seek distinction.
With Nuit Rouge, the maison has created something daring, mysterious, and unlike anything before an ode to the night.
Nuit Rouge: An Ode to Opulence
Nuit Rouge is a celebration of contrasts: the mysterious with the carnal, the refined with the raw. Crafted at an extraordinary 20% fragrance concentration, these scents are richly textured and long-lasting.
The deep red bottle is more than packaging it is a statement piece, a visual echo of the passion and allure within. Each of the three perfumes tells a different story:
45° - sensual warmth with a bold reinterpretation of vanilla.
Midnight Omen - enigmatic depth, built around leather, iris, and moss.
Mystique - intense, spiritual, and smoky, with oud and amber at its heart.
Together, they form a collection that is addictive, opulent, and undeniably daring.
45° – A Feverish Reinterpretation of Vanilla
Perfumer: Yann Vasnier
Fragrance Family: Amber Vanilla
Fragrance Notes:
-
Top: Honey Accord, Bergamot
-
Heart: Madagascar Vanilla Absolute, Georgywood
-
Base: Benzoin, Natural Vanillin
Perfumer’s Vision:
“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.” – Yann Vasnier45° is not the vanilla you think you know. Instead of sweet comfort, it offers heat, seduction, and complexity. Imagine honey dripping over warm skin, softened by creamy woods and made magnetic by resinous benzoin. It is at once playful and intoxicating, making vanilla feel daring and carnal.
Perfect for - Those who want their fragrance to smoulder with sensuality while still carrying elegance.
Midnight Omen – A Nocturnal Enigma
Perfumer: Émilie Bouge
Fragrance Family: Woody Ambery
Fragrance Notes:
-
Top: Mandarin, Peony, Orris, Saffron
-
Heart: Violet, Leather, Cashmeran, Sandalwood
-
Base: Patchouli, Musks, Moss
Perfumer’s Vision:
“I wanted to create an amber woody fragrance of rare depth. Midnight Omen highlights iris – the richest raw material in perfumery alongside suede-like leather and moss.” – Émilie Bouge
Midnight Omen feels like stepping into a dimly lit room draped in velvet, where shadows linger and whispers hang in the air. The brightness of mandarin and saffron gives way to an elegant heart of violet and iris, anchored by rare Nepalese sandalwood. Suede-like leather wraps the fragrance in intrigue, while moss and patchouli add earthy mystery.
It is enigmatic, seductive, and full of contrasts, a scent that keeps the wearer and those around them guessing.
Perfect for - Those drawn to complexity, depth, and an aura that feels both magnetic and mysterious.
Mystique – A Mysterious Incantation
Perfumer: Émilie Bouge
Fragrance Family: Leather Woody
Fragrance Notes:
-
Top: Leather, Saffron, Cedar
-
Heart: Agarwood (Oud), Sandalwood, Papyrus
-
Base: Amber, Patchouli, Ebony Wood
Perfumer’s Vision:
“Mystique marries leather, oud and amber, extremely rich and textured, with saffron announcing the leather and ebony grounding the base.” – Émilie Bouge
Mystique is the darkest and most commanding of the three. The opening crackles with saffron and cedar before revealing an intense heart of oud and papyrus. The base is smoky and resinous, with amber and ebony wood leaving a powerful, lingering trail.
This is fragrance as a ritual, it feels almost incantatory, like smoke rising in a sacred ceremony. Yet it retains elegance, never veering into heaviness.
Perfect for - Those who want their perfume to announce presence, power, and refinement with every movement.
