Description
THE BRAND
Parfumerie Trudon is the world’s oldest active candlemaker, founded in 1643. During the reign of King Louis XIV, the Trudon family supplied the Palace of Versailles with candles daily — a craft that today carries over three centuries of tradition and excellence. Every Trudon candle is handcrafted in France, combining authentic raw materials with timeless fragrance compositions ranging from floral and oriental to fresh and aromatic accords.
DETAILS
Madeleine is a bold and romantic tribute to one of the 17th century’s most extraordinary figures — Madeleine de Maupin, accomplished horsewoman, skilled fencer and celebrated dissident. Daring and untamed, this luxury scented candle captures her audacious spirit in a fragrance that gallops freely between the grandeur of Versailles and the sun-drenched roads to Marseille.
The opening is bold and immediately distinctive, with castoreum, clove and lavender setting a powerful, slightly animalic tone that commands attention from the very first note. At the heart, a lush bouquet of iris, jasmine, rose and vetiver unfolds — delicate florals wrapped in a swashbuckling confidence. The base of leather, moss, patchouli and tobacco grounds the composition in a deep, lingering sensuality that feels thoroughly modern despite its historical inspiration.
Madeleine is the perfect luxury scented candle for those who are drawn to complex floral leather fragrances with depth, character and a story worth telling.
