Discover Carmen by Trudon in a convenient 15ml travel spray format — a richly textured woody amber parfum that transforms the spirit of the House’s iconic Ernesto candle into an intimate and deeply sensual fragrance for the skin. Designed for effortless portability, this compact edition allows you to experience Carmen’s smoky elegance and refined depth wherever you go.
Rather than recreating Ernesto directly, Carmen reinterprets its signature tobacco and leather accords through a darker, smoother and more tactile lens. Bright bergamot and grapefruit are sharpened by the warmth of rum before tobacco, oak wood, clove and supple leather unfold at the heart with remarkable richness and sophistication. In the dry down, labdanum, moss, patchouli and ambroxan create a smooth, resinous base that evolves beautifully throughout wear.
Created by perfumer Émilie Bouge at a 15% parfum concentration, Carmen embodies Trudon’s haute parfumerie identity through noble materials, woody resins and striking olfactory precision — now in a perfectly portable format for travel, evenings and fragrance touch-ups throughout the day.
