Carmen

Ten years ago, I was wearing Chanel Cuir De Russie on the regular because it was the closest I could find to the specific notes that I loved in Cire Trudon Ernesto. How I dreamed this day would come and they did not drop the ball. Ernesto/Carmen is like an atmosphere of Havana glamour: sultry cigars, strong jawlines with dark stubble, Chanel No. 5 on bronzed decolletage, ceiling fans and leather club chairs. It conveys something very clean at the same time as something antique and dusty, intimate and lusty. That cigar smoke note is, personally, a reminder of the scent of a beautiful, swarthy man’s personal odor. I suspect there is a little cumin in here. Anyway, great job Emilie Bouge. 5 out of 5 no notes. And I love the campaign photos🔥🔥🔥

This fragrance is warm, heady, and Old Money. It’s an incredible fragrance. I’ve been wearing this in the summer heat and it’s delicious, the rum and tobacco radiate beautifully. It is very masterfully blended so it smells expensive and refined. I bought it while visiting a Trudon store in Paris. The shopkeeper was wearing it, and it smelled so alluring, I had to buy it. It is very masculine leaning in my opinion, but that said a woman could certainly wear this. The fragrance brings to mind hot nights in Cuba, an evening ride in an old Mercedes, an old library with wood, leather chairs, and a wisp of smoke.

Love it on my husband. It smells expensive and I like the mix of rum, sweet tobacco and old leather on him. When he wears this one on our date nights, I can't stop smelling him. It reminds me of Byredo's Bibliothèque, which is another of my husband's favourites. They both give off that same vibe, but he leans more toward wearing Bibliothèque for the day and leaving Trudon for the night as it's heavier.

This perfume is absolutely stunning.. I can’t get over it .. I would say best release in 2026 among all perfumes .. unique, fougere, classic, addictive, elegant and exceptional. Well executed perfume from top to base with a beast mood performance.. this definitely should get much more rating than the current 3.96

The opening kind of gives classic barbershop and the dry down is pure Ernesto in a bottle. Others have noted it is a bit powdery on me but not a bad thing. It’s a very classic masculine scent but doesn’t feel dated. Now they need to turn Cire into an EDP.
