Along with a touch of honey, sandalwood, tonka beans, and vanilla, Cire’s delicately balanced fragrance and amber-colored glass vessel warm the atmosphere of any space. Cire hums with the heart and soul of the brand: beeswax absolute. In 2017, Cire Trudon launched a bee conservancy program, alongside a delightful limited edition candle aptly called “Cire”. They continue to be some of our very favorites, simply epitomizing luxury and quality. Today, Cire Trudon continues to manufacture candles of beeswax the old way, with pure cotton wicks and exuberantly complex and layered fragrance stories.

Through it all, they continue to honor the magnificent buzzing creatures at the center of their craft and business, as suggested by their motto, “Deo regique laborant,” which translates to “they (the bees) work for God and the King”. Cultivating beeswax for their candles, they have remained the only official Royal Manufacture of wax in France since 1719.Ĭire Trudon has created candles for royalty, survived a brutal revolution (that would be the French Revolution), and transported countless consumers of their scents to aromatic worlds unseen. Founded in 1643, the storied French company offers simply the best in scented wax candles and fragrance, transforming spaces into olfactory landscapes of lush gardens, exotic spice markets, and sun-drenched pastures. There is delicious simplicity in the fact that luxury is an end unto itself, and that the fleeting enjoyment of these things is their only point.Īn unapologetic commitment to luxury and enduring quality is why we adore Cire Trudon. In fact, I think I take more pleasure in them because there is no actual need for them. What is it that makes the purely unnecessary so decadent and almost romantic-a flute of pink champagne, a trim of French lace, your favorite diamond earrings? At least for me, these luxe little things give life more texture and joy. Explore their history and some of our favorite candles, and be whisked away on an aromatic adventure through time and space.Ĭire Trudon: Royalty, Religion & RevolutionĪn Aromatic History of Home Fragrance A History in Wax Cire Trudon is one of the most revered and storied candle brands in the world.
