Cire Trudon is a luxury French candlemaker and fragrance brand. The headquarters are located at 78 rue de Seine in the 6th arrondissement of Paris. Founded in 1643, it was the provider of the royal court of Louis XIV, the Sun King, as well as most of the great churches of France.
Cire Trudon was the largest wax-producer in the French Kingdom during the 17th and 18th centuries. In 1762, in his encyclopaedia The art of the wax producer, engineer Duhamel du Monceau, praises the skills of the Trudons and gives the manufacture as an example. Such a level of quality led to King Louis XIV elevating Charles Trudon to the French nobility as Count Trudon des Ormes.
