Description
Ourika – a spicy interpretation of iris, is a new addition to the Les Belles Matières collection by Cire Trudon. Iris, growing in fertile valleys and gardens of Antiquity, also played an important role in the mythology of ancient Egypt. Its complex symbolism connects this flower with Horus, the god-falcon, who unites Heaven and Earth.
Iris also grows in the valley of Ourika at the foot of the High Atlas Mountains, bathed in sunlight and untouched by civilization. The composition of the Ourika fragrance is a marriage of floral top notes of gardenia, rose and magnolia with spicy notes of benzoin and pink pepper, perfectly highlighting the sensual, powdery nature of irises.

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 Ourika
Seductive, spicy - this luxurious candle from the French house Cire Trudon is a true feast for the senses. A novelty in the Les Belles Matières collection, Ourika combines strong notes such as gardenia, rose and magnolia with spicy benzoin and pink pepper. It also looks outrageously beautiful on your desk. Light it up.
