The oldest candle makers in the world, Cire Trudon have been creating candles since 1643. As official manufacturers to the French Royal Court throughout this time, Cire Trudon still use traditional methods including hand pouring and hand blowing all glass.

Introducing BALMAIN by Cire Trudon, a limited-edition collaboration that we are loving!

The Trudon x Balmain candle is Balmain creative director Olivier Rousteing’s personalised twist on the iconic Ernesto Candle. The twist? A deep, dark, militant, yet feminine rose; evocative of Balmain’s favourite cadre of models, the “Balmain Army”. Balmain as a fixture in the French fashion world, and Trudon as master candle makers with centuries of expertise make the perfect pairing to honour French tradition, legacy and savoir-faire. Celebrating history while embracing modernity, the fragrance with notes of gunpowder, grapefruit, tobacco and rose is about as chic and luxe as it gets.

The unique glass vessel with its bold stripes references one of the brand’s signature runway themes – his modern and luxe take on the traditional French sweater.

HOW IT SMELLS
Balmain has a smooth and rich tone to it with little sprinklings of spice and sweet rose. There is an incredible depth to this scent and it fills a room easily. You could almost call this Ernesto’s stylish younger sister.

LORE LOVES
We love the rich and warm intensity of this gorgeously packaged candle. The hint of sweet rose makes us think of the most chic French girl smoking a cigarette as she attends a gallery opening. She is effortlessly charming and intriguing, she’s cool yet unaware of her coolness, she’s hanging out with her artist friends and riding around Paris under the sparkle of the night lights.
