Scent Story:

The Tuileries collection finds its inspiration in a rare document kept at the French National Archives: the Gazette des Atours de la Reine. In what seems like an ordinary notebook, countess Geneviève d’Ossun – a French courtier who served as lady-in-waiting and first maid of honor to Marie Antoinette – gathered many fabric samples used to tailor the sovereigns’ many dresses and royal outfits.

The fragrance was conceived as an homage to the rose, the Queen’s favorite flower throughout her life.

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.
