Trudon is the world's oldest candle manufacturer, founded in 1643 by Claude Trudon in Paris and was once the official candle provider to the royal courts of Louis XIV and Napoleon I. Now a luxury French perfumery, Trudon specialises in high-quality, handcrafted perfumed candles made with a secret beeswax and vegetable wax formula. The brand's iconic crest, featuring the motto "Deo regique laborant" (they work for God and the King), is a nod to its royal history and the bees that provide its unique wax.
