Description
Trudon's Versailles candle captures the essence of French gardens in spring, drawing inspiration from the opulent celebrations and legendary grounds of the Château de Versailles. This home fragrance opens with a bright, refreshing blend of peony, thyme flower, and a smooth, natural mint. As it develops, a rich floral heart of rosemary, linden blossom, and tuberose emerges, evoking a lavish garden in full bloom. The scent settles into a sophisticated base of oakwood, honeysuckle, and blue iris, providing a grounding, slightly creamy finish that feels both historical and vibrantly alive. Perfumer: Emilie Bouge
