Maduraï Candle by Trudon

Maduraï Candle by Trudon

The Duke of Tuscany first brought jasmine to India in 1690, a flower originally from Arabia. Fresh or dried, it still plays a quintessential role in India's myths, legends, and daily rituals — perfuming loose-leaf tea, braided into floral necklaces, offered in Hindu temples.

Maduraï belongs to Trudon's Belles Matières collection, built around single, exceptional raw materials sourced at their origin.

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.

Candle Anatomy

• The Wax: Trudon's wax formulas are 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.
• The Glass: Each glass is unique and hand-crafted in Tuscany, its shape inspired by champagne buckets.

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.
