Altaïr - Candle

The Altaïr collection by Trudon evokes the desert’s warmth and sand dunes through a sensual woody-floral composition. Oud’s bold character meets the delicate finesse of peony, creating an opulent and modern fragrance. Designed in warm amber tones, the collection captures the shifting ripples of the desert with sculptural light and golden-brown shadows.

Composed by perfumer Émilie Bouge, Altaïr is an elegant fusion of oud, peony, and a textured leather-suede note, enriched with sandalwood, cedar, styrax, and agarwood. This fragrance embodies the raw power of wood and earth, balanced with the softness of flowers—transporting you to a dreamlike, faraway land.
