Trudon traces its history to 1643 — when the house supplied the court of Versailles and the churches of France with wax, and held the only “Royal Manufacture” title ever granted to a candlemaker. In 2007 the old name was reawakened as a luxury scented-candle house. The care remained: poured in Normandy, in the iconic dark-green glass with its golden crest. Candles like Ernesto, Abd El Kader, and Spiritus Sancti carry whole worlds inside them. Perhaps the most venerable candle you can light.
