Opulence is articulated through Trudon’s 'Figuerie Collection,' a permanent home fragrance line that draws deeply from the historical and cultural landscape of Versailles. Developed under the creative direction of Hugo Ferroux, the collection introduces a considered reinterpretation of the fig, rooted in the Royal Fig Grove of Louis XIV’s Kitchen Garden.
Rather than adopting a traditionally sweet or gourmand profile, the fragrance unfolds through a more restrained vegetal and woody composition. In doing so, it reflects a deliberate shift toward subtlety and atmospheric depth. This olfactory direction is further informed by 17th-century archival narratives, particularly the work of Jean-Baptiste de La Quintinie, whose greenhouse cultivation methods enabled figs to be produced year-round for the royal court.
Complementing the scent, the collection is presented in celadon glass vessels with gold detailing, evoking Trudon’s decorative arts heritage. Extending across candles, diffusers, and room sprays, the range offers a cohesive expression of historical inspiration translated into contemporary fragrance design.
