Médie
by Maison Trudon
Médie by Maison Trudon offers a crisp, citrus-driven fragrance centered on grapefruit and mandarin orange, beautifully balanced with white florals like jasmine sambac. It evolves into a dry, woody base with subtle hints of frankincense and vetiver, giving it a rich, earthy depth that lingers past the initial burst. The scent feels fresh and elegant, reminiscent of classic 1960s masculine perfumes with its bitter citrus and herbal undertones—especially appealing during spring and summer. It carries moderate sillage and demonstrates decent longevity, remaining noticeable for several hours, often lasting into the next day. The scent leans toward a refined, confident masculinity but is suitable for those who appreciate minimalist, sophisticated citrus-floral compositions without overwhelming projection.
