Additional information

Founded in 1643, Maison Trudon is the heir to a unique expertise in luxury candles, once prized by Louis XIV and the great French churches. Renowned for the exceptional quality of its vegetable wax and pure cotton wicks, Trudon has perpetuated the tradition of fragrant light for centuries. Each candle offers a perfect burn and remarkable fragrance diffusion. In 2017, the house enriched its heritage by launching its first collection of exceptional fragrances. Trudon embodies timeless elegance and French artisanal excellence.

A burning material.
Resins, frankincense, myrrh — like an ember that never dies out.

You know those incense perfumes that fall flat — too clean, too polite, soulless. Mortel is the exact opposite. At Trudon, a house founded in 1643 and the first supplier of candles to France's great cathedrals, resin and frankincense have been a daily working material for four centuries. This expertise, accumulated in vaults and naves, Trudon has transposed into a perfume. Mortel is its direct consequence — deep, vibrant, almost ceremonial.

In this Eau de Parfum concentration, the composition strikes from the opening. Pimento and black pepper establish an immediate, almost incandescent warmth — a spicy tension that prepares the material for its entrance. Somali frankincense then rises to the heart in all its sacred density — deep, slightly smoky, vibrating like a flame in an enclosed space. Then the base unfurls its resins: warm benzoin, slightly amber and animalic cistus absolute, bitter and deep myrrh. This resinous architecture is remarkably rich and persistent — Mortel does not disappear. It transforms.

Mortel is not worn like a perfume. It is experienced as a presence — dense, sacred, obstinately alive.

A word from Maison Diaphane

Mortel is the perfume you reach for when you want to stop hesitating. The Somali frankincense is of a precision and depth that few houses achieve — here it is central, not just in the background. It is the quintessence of Trudon's DNA: flame, resin, longevity.

Mortel Eau de Parfum by Trudon is a woody resinous unisex fragrance created by Maison Trudon, founded in 1643. Heir to a unique savoir-faire in frankincense and resins — materials at the heart of its candle production for four centuries — Trudon treats them here as noble and living raw materials. Available at Maison Diaphane, official retailer in Angers, in 100 ml. Free delivery from 100 € (in France).

Its olfactory pyramid revolves around a deep heart of Somali frankincense, opened by pimento and black pepper in an immediate spicy warmth, and extended by a base of benzoin, cistus absolute, and myrrh with remarkable resinous density. As an Eau de Parfum, this composition unfolds all its richness and lasts 8 to 10 hours.

Mortel is a woody, resinous, and mystical fragrance with a noticeable sillage, ideal for evenings and cold seasons, worn equally well by women and men.

Is Mortel's frankincense heavy or overpowering?

No. The spicy opening with pimento and black pepper primes the frankincense, giving it tension. Somali frankincense is precise and dry — not smoky or saturated. The myrrh in the base adds a bitterness that prevents any heaviness. It's a living frankincense, not an atmospheric one.

What does cistus absolute bring to Mortel?

Cistus is a natural resin extracted from the cistus plant — slightly amber, animalic, with a very characteristic leathery facet. In Mortel, it amplifies the resinous base and gives it a carnal and slightly wild dimension that makes the sillage magnetic and persistent.

What season and occasion is Mortel suited for?

Autumn and winter above all, and evenings all year round. Its resinous depth and spicy warmth flourish with coolness. In summer, it can be worn sparingly in the evening — it is a fragrance of strong presence, to be reserved for moments that deserve a powerful signature.

Is it really a unisex fragrance?

Absolutely. Frankincense and resins have no gender — they embrace the skin and transform according to the wearer. Mortel works with the same depth and elegance on all skin types. It is a fragrance of character and conviction, not gender.
