Trudon - Joséphine - Scented Candle
Trudon invites us on a stroll through the famous gardens of the Château de Malmaison.
The gentle light of dawn pours over the flowerbeds. A slight shadow flits through the roses, camellias, and irises. With her green thumb, Joséphine awakens the dazzling scents of the garden for her imperial destiny.
Joséphine de Beauharnais acquired the Château de Malmaison in 1799, while her husband Napoléon Bonaparte was fighting in the Egyptian campaign abroad. She spent a fortune renovating the château, which later became the headquarters of the French government. Her love for flowers, plants, and animals led her to create one of the most magnificent gardens in Europe. Her most fervent wish was to create "the most beautiful and interesting garden in Europe, an example of good horticulture."

Maison Trudon guards the secret of crafting its unique scented candles: a wax blend made from plant-based ingredients forms a special mixture that guarantees perfect scent diffusion and a soot-free burn. The candles are natural and absolutely pure, which is why their burn time of 50 to 70 hours is far longer than that of other candles. Each scent looks back at a historical moment in French history, shedding light on these legends.
This Trudon scented candle is a quality product. To ensure you enjoy it for a long time, please follow the care instructions.
The History of Trudon
In 1643, a merchant named Trudon arrived in Paris. Through a fortunate marriage, he became the owner of a shop in the famous Rue Saint Honoré, in the Saint Roch quarter. Besides groceries and colonial goods, he sold candles for household use and candles for mass. Over time, he refined and perfected his skill in candle pouring and soon created only candles of the highest quality.
Shortly before the Sun King, Louis XIV, ascended the French throne, the master founded a small manufactory bearing his name, thus laying the groundwork for a long tradition. His son Jacques continued his father's craft with the same passion and pursuit of perfected quality, and in 1687, due to his outstanding abilities, was summoned to the court of Versailles and thereafter became purveyor to the King. In 1719, Maison Trudon was officially appointed royal wax manufactory. The business with wax and candles flourished, and over the centuries, the operation was continuously maintained.
Today, Maison Trudon is the oldest French manufactory and has already created candles of the highest quality for major houses like Hermès, Guerlain, and Dior, always mindful of the traditions of the House of Trudon.
