Established in the 17th century, Cire Trudon is the oldest candle maker in the world and was responsible for perfuming the persons and palaces of the French monarchy… until Napoleon expressed his mutual penchant for the country’s première candle creators. With fans from King Louis XIV to ‘Her Madgesty’ Madonna (the singer, not the ‘virgin’), Cire Trudon’s celeb endorsements speak volumes about the quality and luxury of this beautiful brand – and with over 370 years of experience, you’d expect them to have just about perfected their skills by now… A stunning addition to any bedside table, desk or mantelpiece, each candle is housed in hand-blown Italian glass, adorned with their signature label stating the motto of Cire Trudon; ‘Deo regique laborant’ meaning ‘They work for God and King’ (‘they’ being bees).

It is important to trim wick before each use. When using the candle for the first time, keep the candle alight until the entire surface is covered in liquid wax. This should take approximately 1 hour and will ensure a more effective, even burn for all future uses. Depending on where the candle is placed it has a burn time of 65-70 hours.

Expertly blended to evoke the spiritual home of ‘Christmas’ and conjure the exoticism of the scents surrounding the biblical story of Jesus’ birth, Cire Trudon’s Bethléem is intoxicatingly festive; reminiscent of burning incense, smouldering spices and the reassuring warmth of fragrant woods. Scent-sationally stunning and visually exquisite, the brilliant blue silver-lined glass jar diffuses the flickering flame to create a cosy glow, while the strikingly embossed deep navy box is guaranteed to delight your (favourite) host or hostess this winter… once they have wrested it from your desperate hands. With top notes of pepper, cardamom and saffron simmering above a heart of musk, tonka beans and white flowers, this gradually evolves to fill the halls with a smouldering base of cedar, sandalwood and amber. The spirit of Christmas distilled into wax, even the most determined Ebenezer couldn’t help but thank you for it.
