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 β€” 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.
