Cire Trudon stands as a paragon of French luxury, artistry, and heritage, epitomizing centuries of excellence in candle making and fragrance.
Established in 1643, this prestigious Maison, headquartered at 78 rue de Seine in the heart of Paris’ iconic 6th arrondissement, earned its place as the official candle provider to the royal court of Louis XIV, the illustrious Sun King, and the grand cathedrals of France. In the 17th and 18th centuries, Cire Trudon reigned as the preeminent wax producer in the French Kingdom.

Its unparalleled craftsmanship was immortalized in 1762 by engineer Duhamel du Monceau, who extolled its expertise in The Art of the Wax Producer. This dedication to perfection earned Charles Trudon the noble title of Count Trudon des Ormes, bestowed by King Louis XIV himself. The brand meticulously preserves its historical recipes and tools, including 17th-century wrought iron pans and mold's used to craft candles emblazoned with royal insignias—an homage to its illustrious legacy of illuminating Versailles and the Royal Chapel.

Even during the tumult of the Revolution, Cire Trudon candles graced the hands of Louis XVI, their regal blazon discreetly concealed beneath layers of mortar to shield them from the ire of the era. Today, the legacy endures, as creation is a luminous testament to the brand’s enduring elegance, artistry, and commitment to timeless refinement.
