Gabriel Candle by Trudon

Gabriel Candle by Trudon

Gabriel brings welcome warmth to a chilly winter afternoon. Notes of leather, cashmere wood, and candied chestnut weave the cozy memory of a fire in the hearth — the most enveloping scent in the Trudon library, and a natural choice for autumn and the holidays.

Founded in 1643, Trudon is the oldest candle maker in the world, once supplying the court of Louis XIV. Each candle is hand-poured at the Trudon workshop in Normandy, France, in a glass vessel mouth-blown in Tuscany and inspired by the shape of a champagne bucket.

Candle Anatomy

• The Wax: Trudon's wax formulas are the fruit of specific developments and the source of its exceptional olfactory and burning qualities. Properly cared for, a Trudon candle leaves no smoke and no wax on the sides of the glass.
• The Wick: Made of cotton, chosen to suit the shape and size of each glass and the burning characteristics of each candle.
• The Glass: Each glass is unique and hand-crafted in Tuscany, its shape inspired by champagne buckets.
• The Emblem: Inspired by a bas relief found at the old Royal Wax Manufacture that once belonged to the Trudon family.

Care

On first use, allow the wax to melt fully across the surface — roughly two hours — to prevent tunneling. Trim the wick to 5 mm before each lighting, and never burn for more than two hours at a time.
