Trudon - Les Belles Matières - Reggio - scented candle
A hint of citrus from Calabria.
It was brought from Indochina in 1828, and since then the mandarin tree has thrived on the shores of the Western world, along the Mediterranean. Facing the Strait of Messina, it shapes the Calabrian landscape without a hint of bitterness. The mandarin's softness harks back to ancient times when its essential oils composed an elegant olfactory grammar.
Les Belles Matières
Les Belles Matières by Trudon: pure and concentrated in their form, they present a trio of unique candles. The delicate perfumes, composed as a botanical triptych, orchestrate fruity, woody, and floral scents: Reggio is filled with mandarin orange from Calabria; Tadine flirts with sandalwood from New Caledonia, while Maduraï blossoms with Indian jasmine.
Like a geographical odyssey, the collection travels back to the origins of precious perfumes: it delves into the great moments of botanical discoveries and reveals the creation of great olfactory adventures.
Like the call of distant lands, the feeling of the absolute permeates "Les Belles Matières." The gatekeeper of these secret discoveries is the midnight-blue tinted glass that encases the ingenious essences. The three fragrance absolutes speak a modern language – "Les Belles Matières," let there be matter!

The story of Trudon
In 1643, a merchant named Trudon arrived in Paris. Through a favorable marriage, he became the owner of a shop on the famous Rue Saint Honoré in the Saint Roch district. Besides groceries and colonial goods, he sold candles for home use as well as candles for Mass. Over time, he refined and perfected his candle-making skills and soon produced only candles of the highest quality.
Shortly before the Sun King, Louis XIV, ascended the throne of France, the master craftsman founded a small manufactory bearing his name, thus laying the foundation for a long tradition. His son Jacques continued his father's craft with the same passion and pursuit of perfect quality. In 1687, his exceptional skills led to his summons to the court of Versailles, where he became a purveyor to the king. In 1719, Maison Trudon was officially appointed the Royal Wax Manufactory. The wax and candle business flourished, and the company continued to operate steadily for centuries.
Maison Trudon is today the oldest French manufacturer and has already created candles of the highest quality for great houses such as Hermès, Guerlain and Dior, always mindful of the traditions of the House of Trudon.
