Cire Trudon was founded in 1643 by Claude Trudon producing high quality household and church lighting candles with beeswax as the main material and with the motto phrase: "Deo Regique Laborant" which means: "(The bees) work for God and the King ".

In 1737 the Trudon craft became the official supplier of candles to the King of France and has remained the best of its kind ever since.

In 2007 it started producing an exclusive line of scented candles. In collaboration with well-known perfumers, Trudon creates travel fragrances, inspired by historical figures and events, as well as from parts of the world, maintaining the traditional methods of candle production.
