Trudon apothecary

Trudon, the world’s oldest active candlemaker, was founded in 1643 by Claude Trudon on the iconic rue Saint-Honoré in Paris. With a history spanning over three centuries, Trudon has supplied royal courts and Napoleon I’s empire with exclusive candles, meticulously crafted from the finest white beeswax. In 1719, they were awarded the prestigious title “Royal Manufacture,” making them the only candlemaker ever to receive this honor. This title serves as a timeless recognition of their unmatched craftsmanship and dedication to preserving their exceptional heritage.

Tradition and Innovation

Each candle from Trudon is handcrafted at their factory in Normandy, where tradition and innovation come together in perfect harmony. With the help of world-renowned perfumers, they create scented candles that tell unique stories, inspired by different eras and cultures, from the royal courts of France to the modern world. These candles are more than just products – they are works of art, created with a perfect balance of history, design, and luxury. Each candle is a reflection of Trudon’s passion for quality and their rich cultural heritage.
