Trudon – Reggio (Citrus) Grande Candle

Trudon Reggio Grande Candle, A Hint of Citrus From Calabria: Brought back from Indochina in 1828, the mandarin-tree has since prospered on the occidental banks of the Mediterranean Sea. Facing the Messina Strait, it sculpts the Calabrian landscape without a touch of bitterness. The mandarin’s softness hints back to ancient times when its essential oils composed an elegant, odorant grammar. Head: Grapefruit. Heart: Mandarin essential oil. Base: Mimosa.

‘Les Belles Matières’ by Trudon: pure and essential in their form, a trio of unique candles unfolds. Composed as a vegetal triptych, their fine perfumes naturally orchestrate fruity, woody and floral fragrances: Reggio comes infused with mandarin from Calabria; Tadine flirts with sandalwood from New-Caledonia while Maduraï blooms with Indian jasmine. A geographic odyssey, the collection travels back to the origins of rare perfumes: it delves into the rich hours of botanical discoveries and reveals the genesis of grand olfactory adventures. Like a calling for faraway lands, a sense of absolute runs through ‘Les Belles Matières’. Gatekeeper of these secret explorations, the night blue tinted glass wraps around the inspired essences. The three absolute scents speak up, in a contemporary manner; ‘Les Belles Matières’, let materials be.

It is impressive: with 5 wicks, the Great Candle can be staged inside as well as outside. Sculptural, it loves the sight of a grand staircase or jardin à la française. They are manufactured at the Trudon workshop in Normandy, France, using unrivaled know-how inherited from master candle makers.
