La Nuit des Glaces
Versailles, a Christmas evening in the 18th century
Everywhere the eye falls, light dances in the mirrors. In the hearth, the fire crackles, giving way to the ballet of flames. In the richly decorated Hall of Mirrors of the Château de Versailles, the firelight reflects and multiplies, reverberating endlessly.
Through the La Nuit des Glaces collection (the Night of Mirrors), the spirit of Trudon revives scents of burning wood and sweet treats. With a breath of wax or a powdery trail, the winter solstice takes on an air of splendor.

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.
The vision of Maison Trudon
The Creative Director Hugo Ferroux
"In the eighteenth century, the Royal Mirror Manufactory created the mirrors that would come to define the splendour of the Hall of Mirrors at the Palace of Versailles. What could better capture the flicker of a flame than a mirror, reflecting its movement and magnifying its radiance?
I wanted to celebrate this flame : The flame of history, of craftsmanship, of transmission, and of the mystery that has always surrounded it."
The perfumer Émilie Bouge
Emilie draws her inspiration from the balance between discipline and creativity, between urban life and nature. Trained at ISIPCA, she has developed a strong affinity for natural raw materials, essential to the authenticity of her creations. Her experience in Asia has given her a particular sensitivity to oriental accords.
