Note to editors:
It took way too much time to try to locate this fragrance in the database. Possibly including the word “Deux” would help. Also using the name Cire Trudon instead of Maison Trudon would be an improvement.
Re: the fragrance, it’s very sour green and reminds me of straight-up gallbanum in a way. It reminds me also of Eau de Cartier Concentree in that its mostly about bitter citrus and astringent green notes. If I blind smelled this perfume without knowing what it was, I would say it was a typical designer man’s cologne from at least a couple of decades ago.

Really green and slightly damp, but more along the lines of a freshly watered garden; a bright, cool, and clean mix of greenery and aromatics. There’s a moment in the opening where the green is almost like tomato leaf—a peppery vegetal bite. I like that, but its character as it dries down is entirely soft skin. I’m not convinced by the fig that others here claim—it has a little of that feel, but to me it’s much grassier with a citrus bend. The pine is present, but only off in the distance, barely detectable.
This one is pleasant but ultimately forgettable. It’s a little sweet and clean in the way of Gap scents of the 90s.

II is a verdant take on the eau de Cologne genre – green, peppery, coniferous, and citrusy. The top of bitter orange, fresh cut leaves, and pepper tickles the nose with its cool, dusty composition; the result is, as others have mentioned, very reminiscent of fig leaf. Green all the way through its evolution, pine and juniper mingle with tendrils of slightly smoky incense and soft Cashmeran in the calmative dry down.
There’s quality and confidence here despite its fleeting sillage and moderate longevity. Layers beautifully with Révolution, amplifying the latter’s forest accord. One to try for any green or fig perfume devotees.

Where is the fig leaves note!
This is most likely is figs leaves, then black peppers, cedar, incense, & amber.
It isn’t green leaves, it’s figs leaves with dusty yet cashmere.

I honestly wish it follows its note table because that’s the type of perfume I always wanted. However as StellaDiverFlynn suggest, this is essentially a fig leaves perfume.
This perfume has a familiar ring, in fact, make it three rings: the grass beginnings reminds me of Apsu by Ulrich Lang; the green fig body reminiscent of Philosykos though less milky; and something that strongly resembles fresh soybean sauce had a similar vibe with Deja Le Printemps by Oriza Blah Blah.
It has a very…ethereal kind of woody/white musky dry down. I don’t get much pine tree,but it’s certainly pleasant.

As the reviewer before me noted, Dieux smells Iike a wet, green fig leaf fragrance though fig is not listed as a note. I asked the Trudon SA about this and she seems to think it’s a combination of the coniferous, green, and fruity notes giving this impression. It’s bright, and cool- would be refreshing on a warm day. It does smell similar to Debaser to me in that juicy, green fig way, though Debaser seems sweeter with the milky coconut. Oddly, this one from the 5 scents lasts the longest on my skin. I’m not that drawn to the fig genre, but I do prefer the more lush, watery fig scents over the drier, coconutty types (Philosykos) and I happen to really like Debaser on a hot day. A definite try if is you love cool, fresh, figgy perfumes.

Although fig leaf is not listed as a note, II (called Deux on Trudon website, which means 2 in French) is primarily a fig leaf fragrance on my skin.
II opens with vivid, crunchy verdancy, reminiscent of freshly mowed lawn, but much more polished and not as aggressive as the real cut grass. The combined effect of this greenery and a subtle laconic undertone, smells very much like the sap oozing out of the crunched fig leaves to me. There is also a very soft minty nuance popping up from time to time, which makes II kind of a even greener version of Oriza Déjà Le Printemps.
II remains mostly this green fig leaf fragrance during its 8-hour wear on my skin. It does develop a gentle woody undercurrent reminiscent of lentisque and pine, which discreetly transforms the initial dewy texture into a drier, slightly powdery one. But overall, there isn’t any significant change. The sillage is moderate during the first hour, and drops to a skin scent afterwards.
While I don’t find II brings anything wildly novel to the green fig genre, which has become a quite crowded category nowadays, it doesn’t feel annoyingly redundant to me. In contrary, it’s such a solidly made fragrance, and smells green and fresh in such a natural, evocative way, that is always a pleasure to experience. I would definitely recommend it to fans of green fragrances, especially if you’re fond of elements such as green fig leaf and grass.
