Bruma

Bruma by Maison Trudon is a refined, powdery iris fragrance with a soft, elegant presence. It opens with a crisp, peppery burst of black pepper and galbanum, followed by a delicate floral heart of violet, iris, and peony, evoking a waxy, slightly green floral bouquet with subtle sweetness. The fragrance transitions into a smooth, airy drydown with tonka bean and vetiver, lending a warm, slightly animalic depth without being overtly sensual. On the skin, it wears close to the body, with minimal projection and moderate longevity — lasting around 3 to 5 hours, though many users note it fades quickly and lacks lasting impact. The scent is breezy, translucent, and highly polished — more like a whisper than a statement. It leans feminine due to its powdery violet and floral iris base, though its earthy vetiver and sharp opening give it a balanced, unisex character. It’s best suited for quiet moments, professional environments, or refined daytime settings, with a particular appeal in spring and autumn. While praised for its quality craftsmanship and delicate harmony, the lack of longevity and sillage makes it feel underwhelming despite its elegant makeup. Ideal for lovers of understated, abstract iris fragrances who appreciate subtlety over boldness.
