Cire Trudon is more than a candle brand—it is a legacy of French history, craftsmanship, and olfactory artistry. Founded in 1643, Trudon holds the distinction of being the oldest active candlemaker in the world, with roots that stretch back to the era of Louis XIV. What began as a small Parisian shop grew into a renowned purveyor of candles for the royal court of Versailles, Napoléon Bonaparte, and the great churches of France. Today, the brand bridges its rich heritage with modern sophistication, crafting candles that are as timeless as they are contemporary.

Each Cire Trudon candle is made in the brand’s atelier in Normandy, France, where expert artisans oversee every stage of production—from the custom-blown glass vessels created in Vinci, Italy, to the hand-poured wax and meticulously placed wicks. The signature glass tumblers, often embossed with the brand's gold emblem and historic motto "Deo regique laborant" ("They work for God and the King"), are inspired by champagne buckets and intended to be keepsakes long after the candle has burned down.

The brand’s fragrances are as storied as its history. Each scent is developed by world-renowned perfumers and tells a unique narrative—often inspired by historical figures, exotic locations, or cultural milestones. Popular candles like Abd El Kader, with notes of Moroccan mint tea, ginger, and tobacco, evoke the spirit of an Algerian leader, while Ernesto draws from the revolutionary charisma of Che Guevara, blending leather, tobacco, and amber for a bold, atmospheric scent. Each fragrance is richly layered and lingers long after the flame is extinguished, transforming any room into a storybook of scent.

From Versailles to your vanity, Cire Trudon offers a piece of history, a dedication to artistry, and an immersive sensory experience that transcends time.
