Luxury candle manufacturer Trudon has partnered with Versailles to launch a new collection that seamlessly weaves centuries-old traditions with modern craftsmanship. The Versailles Collection pays homage to the gardens of the iconic French palace with its signature floral and refreshing fragrance profiles. Released to coincide with World Bee Day, or even more perfectly this coming Mother’s Day, this collection highlights Trudon’s longstanding commitment to supporting these essential pollinators.

The collection, featuring four candles and a diffuser, carries the spirit of the lush gardens where kings and courtiers once gathered. Each vessel is frozen in an azure-blue hue, embodying the whimsy and refinement of Versailles’ meticulously crafted alleys, bosquets, and verdant theatres. The packaging is adorned with intricate engravings that capture the festive ambience of this storied estate. The fragrance, created by perfumer Emilie Bougie, blends floral notes like peony, tulip, and linden with the natural essence of mint, rosemary, and honeysuckle, all underpinned by hints of oak wood and blue iris.

Since its founding in 1643, Trudon has been a bastion of luxury and tradition. Originally producing candles for French royalty, Trudon supplied the palace of Versailles for enchanting royal ceremonies until the French Revolution. Now, centuries later, Trudon continues its legacy of excellence in craftsmanship, reflecting French art de vivre with every creation. The brand’s ongoing dedication to sustainability and bee conservation makes the alignment of the new collection with World Bee Day especially poignant.

The launch highlights Trudon’s commitment to supporting bees and natural habitats. The brand has a history of partnering with the Orne Dark Bee Conservatory, working to protect the French dark bee from extinction. This aligns perfectly with the ethos of Emilie Bougie, who draws inspiration from nature and seeks authenticity in every fragrance she creates.
