Versailles - Candle

Versailles and Trudon have shared a common history for over three centuries. As a candle maker of the royal families until the French Revolution, Trudon helped create glorious enchanting moments at the Versailles castle with its candles made in its royal manufacture in Paris.

It is because of these historical ties that Versailles naturally gave its name to the new Trudon collection, which includes candles and a diffuser whose green and flowery scents are inspired by its legendary gardens.

Versailles, a quintessential fragrance representing French gardens in spring.
