The Prince of Tuscany brought jasmine from India in 1690, but this flower originally comes from Arabia. Jasmine, both fresh and dried, plays a huge role in daily rituals of India, as well as in myths and legends of this country. Jasminum sambac is used to add aroma to tea or is rolled into flower necklaces. This fragrant flower has great spiritual significance and is offered as votive gifts in Hindu temples.

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.
