A Rainbow of Delicate Colors

Cire Trudon offers taper candles a range of rainbow colors, dubbed by the brand as “Madeleine”. Unscented, they are made with the finest quality wax that doesn’t drip and burns slowly. From bright pink to azure blue and burgundy plum, “Madeleines” are artisanally produced in over 20 different colors.

The Finest Quality

At the Trudon factory, while machines are now used for many tasks, the most important are still done by hand and largely by women. They are responsible for the final steps in the candle’s journey, including the all-important personalization.

A Regal History

The Cire Trudon story began over 350 years ago. In the 17th century, Claude Trudon owned a boutique on Paris’s rue Saint-Honore, where he worked as a grocer and candlemaker. The Cire Trudon shield is inspired by a stone carving located on the brand’s former manufacturing site in Antony, south of Paris. Today, it is a convent.

Meticulously Manufactured

Made in Italy, the brand’s distinctive glass containers were inspired by the shape of a champagne bucket. Vegetable wax, pure cotton wicks and subtle scents created in Grasse are the key Trudon signatures. In their candles, excellence equals elegance.
