Trudon Ernesto Classic Candle

Trudon Ernesto: Leather and Tobacco

We are honored to carry the storied brand of Trudon and its time honored collection of candles. The Classic Candle fits all occasions; perfumes each and every room. and is the most iconic. The candles are still manufactured at the Trudon workshop in Normandy, France, using unrivaled know-how inherited from master candle makers for over 350 years.  Founded by the Trudon family, it has provided candles to France's cathedrals and nobility since 1643. Most famously, the Trudons supplied all the candles of Versailles on a daily basis, serving the Sun King, Louis XIV, during his reign.

One of the most quintessential Trudon candles, Ernesto's head notes are in Bergamot, Grapefruit, Rhum, with medium notes of Oak Wood, Clove, Labdanum, Patchouli, finishing with base notes of Tobacco, Amber, Leather, and Moss . You will not want to stop at one of these. We are in love with longstanding performance and beautiful packaging of these candles!

Pro note: The hand made glass of these candles is so gorgeous that you will not want to part with the vessel when your candle is done. They make for beautiful bathroom displays for makeup brushes, makeup rounds, and even as a desk weight for your pens! The beauty keeps on giving. 

 From Trudon:

In a hotel of Havana, under the fixed sun of the Revolution : the fierce and partisan overtones of leather and tobacco meddle with the paneling’s waxen silence. In the cool dimness, fawn grimaces shimmer along with the smoke of cigars and the barrels of guns.
