A refill for the Alabaster candle is now available! A further step in Trudon’s increasingly sustainable approach and an impactful tool to support the premium collection of the Alabasters.
Simply remove all wax residue from the base of your Alabaster candle vessel (carefully – we have instructions on how to do this) take the protective paper off your refill candle, and slide it into the empty vessel. Et voilà!
ATRIA
A fine fragrance, Atria is light with a powdery touch: its feminine character evokes the soft and delicate touch of the skin. At the heart of the perfume, iris, cashmere wood and amber notes are combined with leathery and musky base notes.
NOTES
Top: Geranium
Middle: Iris
Base: Musk
BURN TIME
The Alabaster candle refills burn for approximately 55-60 hours. Please follow the instructions enclosed with your candle to get the most out of it.
HOW IT BURNS
When first lit, Atria is all about the gentle, earthy notes of geranium and iris. Once it has been burning for a while the musk becomes apparent, the physical candle as well as its scent filling your space with a soft golden glow.
LORE LOVES
We love how soft and gentle Atria is. It’s warm, clean and cocooning, and does a really good job at making your house feel like a home.
ABOUT THE BRAND
Founded in 1643, Trudon is the oldest wax manufacturer in the world.
In 1640s Paris, Claude Trudon, a convenience store owner, began to make tapered candles with a new methodology he had developed, utilising a special blend of beeswax and vegetable wax. His high-quality candles rapidly gained popularity, as they didn’t warp, smoke or splutter, and therefore didn’t cause fires!
In 1702, Trudon opened a factory so that their highly sought-after candles could be manufactured on a larger scale. Before long, their secret wax formula (still used today!) attracted the attention of the Crown. The house of Trudon became the candle provider to the Royal Court of Louis XIV, as well as many of the great churches of France. Louis XIV was so impressed with their candles that he issued a seal of approval with his official family crest. This crest can now be seen affixed to every Trudon product, with the addition of the motto “Deo regique laborant”, which means: “they (the bees) work for God and the King”, a nod to the creature that made their successful wax formula possible!
By the mid-17th century, Trudon had become the largest wax manufacturer in France. As candle makers to the Royal Court, Trudon were commissioned to make candles for many French icons – from Louis XIV to Marie Antoinette to Napoleon Bonaparte. Napoleon actually commissioned Trudon to make a candle for the birth of his son – rumoured to be the only gift he ever gave him – a black candle made in his likeness, adorned in gold.
