L’Œuf (the egg) is a decorative object designed to diffuse fragrances from the House of Trudon. Using a funnel, the essence is poured from the refill container into the egg and the sticks are placed inside the object. Through capillary action, the essence finds its way into the sticks and is diffused within a few hours, depending on air circulation and room temperature. L’Œuf is ideal for small to medium-sized rooms. It releases its fragrance in a discreet, even and long-lasting manner. L’Œuf was conceived and designed by Dimitri Smilenko. It is made from traditional materials such as bisque porcelain and turned wood.
Design by Dimitri Smilenko
Dimitri Smilenko has always been known for his paintings, but he also likes to experiment with objects. After a series of lamps and wall lights, soft-coated carpets, garden furniture and coffee tables, his contact with Cire Trudon gave him the idea of scenting interiors in a different way. L’Œuf is the result of a precise, perfected process inspired by the ornamental ostrich eggs found in 16th- and 18th-century cabinets of curiosities.
Interprétation Moderne et Parfumée
L’Œuf draws its inspiration from the spirit of the cabinets of curiosities of the Age of Enlightenment, with its first great discoveries and its glorification of the animal kingdom. It also draws on Fabergé eggs and the surrealism of René Magritte. The egg is an extraordinary, poetic object, a Zen object and a powerful universal symbol (especially in China): it represents life, infinity and the myth of creation.
L'Œuf evokes nature without attempting to copy it... This modern fragrance interpretation features clean lines and a minimalist design: black and white, matte and soft surfaces (unglazed ceramic, satin-finished wood).
