Description
Solis Rex by TRUDON is a stately home fragrance that aims to transport you to the opulent Hall of Mirrors at Château de Versailles. It opens with a bright, almost bracing blend of eucalyptus and orange, quickly moving into a heart dominated by the distinct, resinous aroma of fir's bark. As it settles, a rich foundation of cedarwood and incense emerges, creating a complex and evocative scent that beautifully captures the essence of ancient wooden floors, flickering candelabras, and the grandeur of a historic palace. This candle offers a unique and sophisticated olfactory experience, balancing fresh green notes with deep, woody resins. Perfumer: Emmanuel Philip
