Description
Aphélie by Trudon is a fragrance that evokes a sense of mysterious femininity deeply rooted in nature and romanticism. It opens with a distinctive green ivy note, brightened by rose, creating an initial impression that's both fresh and slightly dewy. As it develops, blackcurrant bud and moss emerge, lending a unique green, fruity, and earthy character that some describe as a chaotic green chypre. The scent settles into a comforting base of sandalwood and tonka bean, offering a warm and sensual finish that feels both familiar and intriguing. Perfumer: Antoine Lie
