A favorite of ours for years, these candles from France are singular in so many ways. The hand blown glass vessels are quietly statement making while the range of intelligent scents conjure images of gardens, landscapes and time (real or imagined). The French standard since 1643.

CIRE Beeswax + Amber Woods

Fragrance Notes:

• Head Notes: Bergamot, Waxed Wood, Honey.
• Heart Notes: Beeswax Absolute, Sandalwood Essential Oil, Cinnamon Essential Oil.
• Base Notes: Tonka Bean, Patchouli Essential Oil, Musk, Vanilla.

Scent Story:

Cire is the soul of the Trudon workshop captured in scent. Warm beeswax and golden woods open the fragrance, unfolding into soft spice and creamy sandalwood before settling into a deep, comforting base of vanilla, patchouli, and musk. The result is intimate, glowing, and quietly powerful — a candle that feels both ancient and timeless, echoing centuries of craftsmanship.

At the heart of this fragrance is Trudon’s enduring relationship with bees and beeswax. Since the 17th century, bees have symbolized the Maison’s devotion to excellence, a legacy reflected in their historic motto, “Deo regique laborant” — they work for God and the King. In 2019, Trudon deepened this commitment by supporting the preservation of the Orne Dark Bee through a partnership with the Perche Nature Park, dedicating a portion of every Cire candle sold to protecting this rare species.

Care Instructions

Leave your candle burning until the entire top layer is liquefied, and do that every time you light it. This will allow you to fully enjoy your Cire Trudon candle until the end, by preventing the wax from tunneling. You also want to center the wick back into its original position from time to time (before the wax sets again) and trim it before and after every use.

Your candle should not be burned for more than 3 hours at a time during the first third, then for 1 to 2 hours afterward.
