All our candles are handmade in the our factory in Normandy, France.
Their manufacture begins with the installation of the wicks, which are placed at the bottom of each glass so that they remain perfectly centered. The tumblers, crafted in Tuscany, are then lined up on wooden counters before the melted wax is poured in, soon after it has been mixed with the perfume. As the wax is poured, the wicks soften from the heat and bend towards the glass, Therefore are then straightened by hand to ensure they remain perfectly centred.
As a timeless object, Trudon candles are the expression of exceptional know-how, from waxing to packaging, and each label is centered and affixed by hand.
Each candle format comes in its personalized box, recognizable with the Trudon emblems and attributes, designed to give each candle optimal protection.
