Gloria - Limited Edition Candle Holiday 2024

Celebrating this luminous momentum, the scented candle Gloria warms the room with the scent of firewood – composed of notes of Indonesian Patchouli, Haitian Vetiver and cedarwood. Wrapped around it are spicy notes of cinnamon, clove and nutmeg, and a hint of citruses.

For the Holiday season, Trudon revisits the festivities orchestrated by Louis XV at the Château de Versailles.

Luxurious and splendid, these celebrations reached their peak during the Bal des Ifs, where the King disguised himself among the guests in the sumptuous Hall of Mirrors. Reflecting this dazzling array of re-flections and gilding, the Holiday scented candle collection, created in collaboration with Serdar Gülgün, is equally flamboyant.

The four scented candles convey a royal art de vivre. On the inside, they are covered in 24-carat gold leaf, while on the outside, a royal décor comes to life with stylized chandeliers, pendants and curtains. Marked in hot gold, the decorations frame the gold coat of arms of the Royal Manufactory.

On the back of the candle, a decorative chandelier hangs over Serdar Gülgün’s signature.
