Trudon Candle FAQ

Why are Trudon candles special?

Trudon is the world's oldest candlemaker, founded in Paris in 1643 and once supplier to the court of Versailles. Each candle is hand-poured in France into a vessel of handblown glass, with complex fragrances that fill a room without overwhelming it.

What is the best Trudon gift?

The classic 9.5 oz candle ($140) is the signature gift — generous, beautifully boxed, and instantly recognizable. Mini candles (from $58) are perfect for hostess gifts, stocking stuffers, and trying a new scent.

What are the most popular Trudon scents?

At Sallie Home, best sellers are Spiritus Sancti (from $140) — incense and church-like, especially at the holidays — along with Abd El Kader's fresh mint and Ernesto's leather and tobacco.

Does Trudon make more than candles?

Yes — the brass Flower candlestick ($82) for taper candles, glass cloches, diffusers, room sprays, and scented matches, many available in our Ladue storefront.

How do I get the most from a Trudon candle?

On the first burn, let the wax melt to the edge of the glass — about two hours — to prevent tunneling. Trim the wick to 1/4 inch before each burn, and the candle will perfume your home to the last drop.
