Description
MÉDIE by TRUDON is an invigorating ode to sunlit Mediterranean coasts, opening with sparkling waves of grapefruit, green mandarin, and lime that evoke carefree summer days. Crisp leafy greens, herbal cypress, and a hint of jasmine add a breezy, verdant heart, reminiscent of lush gardens and distant sea spray. Subtle pepperwood and angelica whisper through the midnotes, before a sophisticated dry-down of cedar, incense, and Akigalawood brings gentle earthiness. Effortlessly luminous yet complex, MÉDIE captures both joyful freshness and refined depth—a versatile companion for any season. Created by Yann Vasnier for unisex.
