Versailles and Trudon have shared a common history for more than three centuries through a creative artisanal bond. As the former royal wax manufacturer of candles for the royal families until the French Revolution, Trudon helped create glorious and enchanting moments at the Versailles castle with its candles.
As an homage to such a fascinating past, it only made sense to one day name a Trudon collection: Versailles.

STORY
The wax formulas of the Trudon candles are the fruit of specific developments that are the source of their exceptional olfactory and burning qualities. When correctly taken care of, no smoke leaves a Trudon candle, and no wax is left on the sides of the glass. The wicks are made of cotton. Many types of wicks are characterized by their weaving and diameter. The wicks are chosen depending on the shape and size of the glasses and the burning characteristics of each candle. The emblem is inspired by a bas-relief found at the old Royal Wax Manufacture, which used to belong to the Trudon family. Situated in Antony, near Paris, it now belongs to the Church. Nowadays, the domain hosts the nuns of the Saint Joseph de Cluny congregation. Each glass is unique and hand-crafted in Tuscany. Champagne buckets inspire their shape.
HISTORY
Founded in 1643, Cire Trudon is the oldest candle manufacturer in the world. Each votive is still dripped and made by hand. Referencing its rich and storied history, the brand creates enchanting scents inspired by biblical passages, kings, revolutionaries, and the Château de Versailles—where it once provided light for the courts of Louis XIV and Marie Antoinette.
