TRUDON CANDLE Grande Nazareth Holiday 2025

For the holiday season, Trudon lights up the sky with festive constellations gilded in warm gold. Beneath the celestial vault, stars shimmer and guide us into dreamlike, mysterious, and enchanting galaxies. In this star-lit scene, two artistic visions converge. Illustrator Brecht Evens imagines a poetic cosmos, delicately sketching imaginary constellations inspired by Trudon’s universe. His creations plunge into the vast shimmer of night. Trudon, in turn, reinterprets these dreamlike motifs, transforming them into a singular, fairy-tale world.

 With a gourmand and spicy burst, Nazareth, a historic Trudon fragrance, makes a grand return this season, warmly joining the festivities. An irresistible cocktail of clove, orange, and bourbon vanilla, Nazareth sparks joy and brings together families and guests around the celebration table.

Heritage

In 1643 a salesman named Claude Trudon arrived in Paris and became the owner of a store in Rue Saint-Honoré. He was a grocer but also a wax merchant and supplied his customers with candles for lighting their homes and for the parish. On the eve of Louis XIV's reign, Trudon thus created a small family manufacturing business that was to carry his name forward and make the fortune of his heirs. His son Jacques also became a shopkeeper and wax producer and entered the court of Versailles in 1687, as apothecary distiller of Marie-Thérèse, wife of the King. In the 18th century, in 1737, Hierosme Trudon purchased the most famous wax factories of the era from the official wax provider to King Louis XV. Trudon grew and began supplying the French court and the most important churches. The Trudon company supplied Versailles until the very end of the monarchy. As Napoleon's wax producer during the Empire, the company survived the arrival of domestic lighting and the birth of the "electric revolution" continuing to prosper. Trudon continued its work throughout the centuries, without ever interrupting its activity, particularly through the making of traditional candles and perfumed candles for the greatest names. It is now the oldest and most prestigious wax manufacturer in the world.
