The candle of a thousand tales

After recently visiting Asia, I wanted to bring a touch of the culture to my home. That's when I discovered the Madurai candle from Trudon.

Trudon candles

Made in France, the Trudon candles are crafted to perfection. It exists in 4 sizes, and you can adapt the scent to each room size. Trudon has a large selection of classic candles to match all occasions.

Indian jasmine

The story of the Duke of Tuscany inspired the Madurai candle. He first brought jasmine to India in 1690. Found all over the country, this emblematic flower, fresh or dried, plays a massive role in India's myths, legends and daily rituals. From perfumes and loose-leaf tea to being braided into floral necklaces, jasmine sambac is everywhere. Therefore, the Madurai candle captures every step of your journey.

The Scent

This candle is a dream come true for floral lovers. Inside its pure white wax hides a bouquet waiting to blossom. As soon as the candle is lit, a sweet note of Ylang-Ylang awakens. Bringing comfort to your spaces warms up the room to welcome a stronger and more present note of Sambac Jasmine absolute. Jamin is well known to have a fruity touch to it. As the scent travels through the room in bursts of freshness, it creates a laid-back atmosphere. Trudon married the floral notes to a sweet and warm note of Benzoin Resin to make the candle extra-addictive. Also, very close to Vanilla, it is said to clear negative energies.

My Experience

I was excited to discover Madurai and to relive my treasured memories from Asia. The candle comes in a vibrant blue case and looks stunning as decor. The scent did not let me down. It is delicious! I adore the scent of this candle and how long it lasts, even after the candle is out. Overall, I would recommend this to those who wish for a comforting, oriental touch to their home. Another great thing about the Trudon candles is that they burn slowly and equally. Thus, this ensures you get every penny worth from your candle. A pure gem!

Other candles I enjoy from the house include Adb El Kader (review here), Gloria (review here), and Gabriel (review here).

The Notes

It's time to dive into the juicy details of this candle. Inside its pure white wax is a burst of fruity and floral notes.

A Bergamot, Benzoin, and Cistus trio opens the candle on a fresh, vibrant note. Thus, Awakening the room, it sets the stage for the floral notes.

Mademoiselle de la Valliere candle is definitely a win for floral lovers. In the heart of this fragrance, you will find a mix of earthy, floral notes such as Galbanum, Jasmine, Musk, Orange Blossom, Tuberose, and Ylang Ylang. Mostly white flowers add a warmer touch to the candle. This lifts the Tuberose scent. Adding a feminine energy to your spaces sets a relaxing and sensual mood.

Trudon Candles

Trudon Mademoiselle de la Valliere Candle is rated as a medium-strength scent. It burns at a slow pace allowing you to get full use of the scented wax. Therefore, it is ideal for placing in your living space or bedroom.

Trudon candles are designed using Vegetable Wax and a Cotton Wick. Why is this important? By using high-quality products, you get the most out of your candles. As the wax melts, it releases the perfume into the air. Also, a cotton wick allows a sturdy burn and should always be cut to about 1cm from the wax.

Duration: 270g – 60hrs | 800g – 120hrs | 3kg – 300hrs.

Review

This version of the Trudons candle takes on a beautiful green coat. Trudon Mademoiselle de la Valliere Candle smells divine, and I understand why King Louis would be addicted. The tuberose scent is perfectly balanced with the other floral notes. It is perfect for the bedroom setting a comfortable mood in the room. I love how easy these candles are to look after. The wax always melts across the surface instead of digging deeper.

Overall, Mademoiselle de la Valliere has my approval!
