Trudon Candles

Founded in 1643, on the threshold of the reign of Louis XIV, Cire Trudon is the oldest candlemaker in the world still active today.

Throughout the 17th century, the manufacturer became the Royal Wax Manufacturer and official supplier in the French court, then to Napoléon Bonaparte. Cire Trudon received a Gold Medal during the 1889 Universal Exhibit as a reward for the outstanding quality of its candles and wax.

Today, their commitment to excellence remains unwavering. Each candle is still hand-dripped in its Normandy factory. This is a testament to the enduring skills of its founder, Claude Trudon.

A Symphony of Scents

Trudon works with expert "noses" to create and inspect unique scents for each candle. Every scent tells a story and is inspired by different places or people from history. Explore the fresh, citrusy fragrance of Reggio, inspired by the Mediterranean city of Reggio di Calabria. Or the uplifting Esterel scent, a blend of lemon, lavender, rosemary, white musk, and amber, designed to remind you of a summer day by the sea. Or, take a stroll through the elegant, historic Madeline district in Paris with the warm, woody Madeline scent.

Quality and Sustainability

Trudon is committed to using high-quality natural waxes and sustainable production methods. The candles are made from a blend of beeswax and vegetable waxes, like soy wax. This creates a long burn time and a rich, honey-like scent. The scents are crafted using natural essential oils and perfumes, carefully selected for quality and authenticity.

Trudon Candles Frequently Asked Questions

What Does Cire Trudon Smell Like?

Cire Trudon candles are known for their rich, complex scents and use of high-quality essential oils and perfumes. For just a sampling of Cire Trudon’s rich and sophisticated scents, here we’ve described our favorite candles: 

  • Cire Trudon's Cyrnos scent is a fresh, floral fragrance that evokes a summer breeze blowing over the island's shores. 
  • Our Madeline scent is a warm, woody fragrance with top notes of iris, middle notes of sandalwood and cedar, and base notes of vanilla and amber. 
  • Cire Trudon's Odalisque scent is a rich, oriental fragrance. Inspired by the odalisques, or female slaves, of the Ottoman Empire, this scent gives off a luxurious, sensual, and sophisticated feel.
  • Cire Trudon's Josephine scent evokes the feeling of strolling through a beautiful, fragrant garden. The lily of the valley and rose in the top notes give a sweet, floral opening, while the violet and jasmine in the middle notes add a delicate depth.
  • Our Reggio scent is a fresh, citrusy fragrance with top notes of bergamot and lemon, middle notes of lavender and rosemary, and base notes of white musk and amber.
