Trudon Candles
Trudon Candles
Founded in 1643 by Claude Trudon, Paris-based Maison de Cire Trudon was the official supplier to the royal court of Louis XIV at Versailles and is notable as the oldest wax-producing factory and the oldest candle manufacturer in the world producing the world's most prestigious candles of the highest quality. Made with centuries-long experience and creating enchanting scents, they continue to innovate, evidenced by their recent citation from Greenpeace for being free of any harmful substance, entirely biodegradable and offering a smoke-free burn.
Cire Trudon candles are created with a unique mix of palm, rice, soy and copra oils. The wicks are made of pure cotton. No heavy metals or pesticides are included in the composition of the candles. Biodegradable and allergen free, Cire Trudon candles respect the environment. The wax is elegantly housed in a hand-blown glass vessel created by artisans in Vinci, Italy, and housed individually in Cire Trudon's signature blue-green box.

The following Cire Trudon scents have been selected from our collection highlighting those that are most ideal for Her. We also have a collection of scents for Him.
Cire Trudon's Joséphine candle celebrates the flowers adored by Napoleon's first wife – it combines robust Turkish Rose with sweet Egyptian Jasmine and delicate Chinese Camellia. This sophisticated floral scent is balanced with a warm and woody base of Indonesian Sandalwood and aromatic White Musk. It's housed in a hand-blown vessel complete with the brand's signature gold plaque.
Cire Trudon's most desired scent, Abd el Kader, is pleasing for both men and women and described as a "gust of freedom blowing from the Mascara coast and the mountains picks up on its way the green scents of fresh mint, the rashness of fights, ginger’s hot and peppered air and the perfume of tea".
Solis Rex is inspired by the elaborate parquetry of Château de Versailles’s famous Hall of Mirrors, this regal perfume radiates vapors of wax, candelabra and palace. A sumptuous trail of incense weaves through a tapestry of coniferous trees, cut with solar rays of citrus fruits.
The Cire scented candle is an olfactory repre-sentation of the manufacture: symbolic, it blends emanations of warm wax and perfumes being crafted. Reinterpreting Cire Trudon’s fundamental values - ancient savoir-faire and commitment to excellence - the scented candle reveals a unique perfume: behind the amber-colored glass, a beeswax absolute. Bees and beeswax have always been at the heart of the manufacture’s History: since the 17th century, Cire Trudon’s motto is “Deo regique laborant”, which means: “they (the bees) work for God and the King”.
2019 marks a turning point for the Maison, as Cire Trudon decided to financially help the Orne Dark Bee Conservatory, with the partnership of the Perche Nature Park. 4 percent of all sales of the Maison’s Cire candle will go toward the saving of Orne Dark Bees.
