Introducing the latest addition to our curated candle line-up, Cire Trudon — a luxury candle collection available at our Legacy West store in Plano.

Cire Trudon’s candles are produced using highly innovative techniques and crafted in Normandy, France, in the oldest wax-producing workshops in the world.

The company was founded in 1643 by Claude Trudon, the owner of a boutique grocery, where he began his work as a chandler (candle maker). In the late 18th century, Paris-based Maison de Cire Trudon became the official supplier to the royal court of Louis XIV at the Palace of Versailles, as well as Napoleon, himself.

Each candle is carefully hand-crafted from start to finish. World-class perfumers assist in fragrance development. Wicks are perfectly center-aligned, and every candle is poured, cleaned, inspected, and packaged by hand.

The special wax formulas and pure cotton wicks allow for a smokeless burn and no wax left on the sides of the glass.

With a shape inspired by champagne buckets, each glass vessel is hand-crafted in Vinci, a town in the Italian region of Tuscany. The company’s attention to detail in this process ensures the most exquisite candle-burning experience.

Our selection includes twelve scents: eight in Trudon’s classic green glass vessels, and four in the Les Belles Matières collection, featuring beautiful blue glass vessels.

We also carry a variety of Cire Trudon candle accessories, such as coupelles (glass candle dishes) and éteignoirs. Éteignoirs are precision tools featuring a thin brass hook which reaches out and presses the wick into the wax, without pinching or smothering the wick. Under the tool's grip, the candle’s flame vanishes without smoke. Once raised back up and centered, the wax-coated wick can easily be lit again.
