Established in 1643, Trudon stands as the world's oldest wax manufacturer. Purveyor to the courts of Louis XIV and Napoleon, the house has traversed centuries without ever losing its flame. Today, it embodies the zenith of French art de vivre, blending a prestigious heritage with complex, contemporary fragrances.
The object is as exquisite as its scent. Candles are hand-poured into unique Tuscan-crafted glasses, adorned with the iconic golden crest. From the refreshing Moroccan mint of (Abd El Kader) to the leather and tobacco notes of (Ernesto), each creation narrates a story. The range now extends to skin perfumes and diffusers, consistently upholding an absolute standard for wax and essence quality.
About this selection
Founded in 1643, Trudon is the oldest candle and wax manufacturer still in operation in the world. Supplier to the court of Versailles under Louis XIV, then to the churches and great residences of France, the house has spanned nearly four centuries while preserving a unique savoir-faire and a standard of quality that make it today an absolute reference in home fragrance.
Trudon's DNA rests on high-quality vegetable wax, cotton wicks and rich olfactory compositions inspired by history, travel and famous figures. The glasses, hand-blown in a family workshop in Tuscany and stamped with the house's golden emblem, make each Trudon candle a decorative object in its own right. Since 2017, the house has also expressed its world through perfumes.
