The Know-how
The Art of the Candle
The Glass
Each glass is unique and hand-crafted in Tuscany. Their shape is inspired by champagne buckets.
The Emblem
Our emblem is inspired by a bas relief found at the old Royal Wax Manufacture which used to belong to the Trudon family. Situated in Antony, near Paris, it now belongs to the Church. Nowadays the domain hosts the nuns of the Saint-Joseph de Cluny congregation.
The Wax
The wax formulas of the Trudon candles are the fruit of specific developments which are the source of its exceptional olfactory and burning qualities. When correctly taken care of, no smoke leaves a Trudon candle and no wax is left on the sides of the glass.
The Wick
The wicks are made of cotton. One can find many types of wicks, characterized by their weaving and their diameter. The wicks are chosen depending on the shape and size of the glasses, as well as the burning characteristics of each candle.
First Use
Burn the candle until the entire surface is liquid, and make this first use within 2 months of receiving it.
Safety
Never leave a burning candle unattended. Keep it out of reach of children and animals, away from curtains and protected from drafts. Protect the surface on which it is placed. When several candles are burned simultaneously, leave at least 30 cm between each candle.
Wick Care
The wick should always be clean and no longer than 0.5 cm. If smoke appears, trim the wick. If it becomes misaligned, recenter it while the wax is still melted. To protect the glass, always leave 0.5 cm of unmelted wax for the Classique size. L'Intermède and La Grande Bougie are equipped with wick stoppers and will extinguish automatically when these become visible: always leave at least 3 cm of unmelted wax.
Storage
Store your candle in a dry, temperate place, between 15 and 25°C.
