Cire Trudon Scented Candles
On the eve of Louis XIV's reign, Maitre Trudon created the first manufacturing business that carried his name. As a wax supplier to Napolean during the Empire, Maison Trudon has prospered throughout the centuries and has made candles for such illustrious names as Hermes, Guerlain and Dior.
Their unique and naturally luxurious wax is fabricated with palm, rice, soy and copra oils with wicks of pure cotton, which makes Cire Trudon the cleanest burning candles available.
We currently stock the following divine scents...
ROI SOLEIL APOLOGIES - WE ARE CURRENTLY OUT OF STOCK ON THIS FRAGRANCE
'..Fragrance of the Mirror Gallery and the vast wooden floor of the Château de Versailles, vapours of wax, candelabras and palace. This kingly and solar perfume blends a green and wooded wake of coniferous trees to the sumptuous dizziness of incense with a light ray of citrus.'
top note : green leaves, eucalyptus, orange
middle : fir bark
base : cedar, incense
ODALISQUE
'...Enclosed in citrus and wood bark, the orange blossom weaves a painter’s dream from which escapes the pale volute of smoke from a narghile. As an orientalist painting, furiously romantic, the vigorous scent of the cade, and solar splinter of citrus fruits, come out as a thin blade in the silky shadow of vanilla.'
top note : lemon, orange
middle : orange blossom
base : juniper, vanilla
'...Secret powers of a naked flower for the love of Louis the XIV, Mademoiselle de La Vallière enveloped herself in the sweet and shattering intensity of tuberoses. Damp fragrance of an intoxicating love: from the King’s bedroom to her convent, Louise de la Vallière personified this deeply sensual flower, which plump and overwhelming aromas are that of true, blinding, almost spiritual love.'
top note : bergamot, orange blossom, galbanum
middle : tuberose, jasmin, ylang
base : musk, rockrose, benzoin resin
SPIRITUS SANCTI
'...Flickers of crimson, gold and olibanum, holy perfume of altar candles, luxurious wake of censers filled with burning amber : under the nave the choir jubilates, heavenly scents caressing their souls.'
top note : aldehyde, incense vapours
middle : lily of the valley
base : labdanum, benzoin resin
ERNESTO
'...In a hotel of Havana, sizzling under the stubborn sun of the Revolution, fierce overtones of leather and tobacco meddle with resolution the waxy silence of wood. Breaking out of the cool dimness, sly grimaces emerge, framed by the smoke of cigars and the barrels of guns.'
top note : rum, grapefruit, bergamot
middle : clove, oak wood, patchouli, labdanum
base : tobacco harmony, moss, leather, amber
BALMORAL
'...After the rain, mist rises from the plains in an earthy haze. Wet ferns, young plants and meadows... Under the green sun, already draining the storm, they surrender their herbaceous vapors to the passing wind.'
top note : foliage, mint, cut grass
middle : freesia, tea, iris
base : musk, pine wood, sap
