Trudon 45 Degrees Review: A Honey-Vanilla Luxury Fragrance
Yann Vasnier’s latest for Trudon is a warm, balsamic vanilla that shines in cold weather.

In this review
Trudon, the historic French candle-maker turned perfumery, continues its expansion into fine fragrance with the release of 45 Degrees in 2025. Crafted by perfumer Yann Vasnier, this unisex Eau de Parfum focuses on a honey-vanilla core enriched with amber, balsamic, and powdery accords. Positioned as a cold-weather companion, it delivers warm, sweet depth without becoming cloying. The name hints at a specific temperature or angle — perhaps the ideal warmth for its dense, comforting character. Early user ratings on Fragrantica place it at 4.37 out of 5, signaling strong approval from the fragrance community. This review breaks down the notes, performance, and value of Trudon 45 Degrees, using verified data to give you an accurate picture.

Layering Ideas
- Layer with a citrus-forward fragrance (e.g., Dior Homme Cologne) to brighten the honey top notes.
- Combine with a woody scent like Le Labo Santal 33 to add depth to the drydown.
- Try with a light floral such as Diptyque Eau Rose for a balanced sweet-rose accord.
Final Verdict
Trudon 45 Degrees is a masterful vanilla-honey fragrance that excels in cold weather. It offers impressive longevity and a balanced sweetness that avoids the cloying trap. While the price is steep, the quality justifies the cost for those seeking a luxurious, comforting gourmand.
