Description
It brings to mind old stone walls and the shadow of monastery walls. This scent of stone and moss evokes the black and white silhouettes of nuns moving in the silence of mass rituals. Carmelite is the light of votive candles, spiritual peace and the feeling that time has stood still.
All Cire Trudon candles are made in the company's workshop in Normandy. Each glass container is handcrafted by Vinci craftsmen in Italy. The candles are made from the highest quality natural wax and cotton wicks. Cire Trudon's motto: deo regique laborant - "They work for God and for the king".
How to take care of candles:
- You will be able to use the candles longer if you let them burn until the entire top layer of wax melts.
- To preserve the scent, do not burn the candle for more than 3 hours at a time, and when the candle has burned down to one third, do not burn it for more than 1-2 hours.
- Do not leave a burning candle unattended.
- Do not place a burning candle in a draft.
- Keep away from children, curtains and pets.
- If the wick shifts, gently reposition it in the center of the candle while the wax is still melted.
- Wait for the wax to harden before relighting the candle. If black smoke appears, trim the wick.
- It should always be clean and no longer than 6 mm.
- To protect the table or surface on which the candle is placed from wax stains, it is worth placing the candle on a base.
- Do not burn the candle all the way to the bottom.
- Always leave at least 5 mm of unmelted wax at the bottom of the container.
- The candle burns for 55-65 hours.

About the brand Trudon
A French family company from Normandy, producing candles since 1643. They supplied them to the French royal court and the most important churches in France. Marie Antoinette was a loyal customer of the company, and Napoleon gave his son a candle adorned with gold medallions with his likeness on the day of his birth...
In 2006, the forgotten company was taken over by Ramdane Touhami, a brilliant artist, entrepreneur, and creative director, and turned it into an undoubtedly cult brand. Their offer includes classic perfumes, home fragrances, accessories, and the most popular candles - made from natural waxes, placed in handcrafted glass vessels with a characteristic gold or silver emblem, with complex, elaborate, and long-lasting scents. Scents that linger long after they have been extinguished.

Reviews of Carmelite
Orange, patchouli and cardamom create a festive mood, but this scent works all year round. And when the candle burns out, the glass vessel can be kept as a decoration - it's absolutely iconic.
