Trudon: history of the candle-making manufactory since 1643

Trudon is a French candle manufacturer that bears its founding year, 1643, in its name. Today it is known for its scented candles in green glass with a gold emblem, its wax busts, and its collections, which each year tell a story through a theme.

Classic candles

Every Trudon candle has a name and a story. Abd El Kader brings together fresh mint, ginger, tea, and tobacco; Ernesto leather and tobacco, in a Havana hotel; Spiritus Sancti olibanum and amber, like altar candles; Cyrnos a Mediterranean citrus garden.

Collections

• Christmas: a collection for the holidays every year. The 2026 collection includes Fir, Galerie des Flammes, and Cabinet des Miroirs.
• Belles Matières: candles such as Reggio, Madurai, and Salta.
• Diffusers: in the same green glass, such as the Ernesto diffuser, they last 3–4 months.

Wax objects

Trudon also makes wax busts, such as Napoleon: decorative objects that tell the story of wax tradition. And the glass bell is used to cover the candle, extinguish it without smoke, and preserve its fragrance.

How to choose

Start with the room: Cyrnos or Abd El Kader for the kitchen and daytime; Ernesto or Spiritus Sancti for the living room and evening. How to light it and make it last is explained in candles and home fragrances. All candles are on the Trudon page.
