Trudon’s latest fragrance ‘Absolu’ has been created by nose Antoine Lie as an ode to the orange blossom. ‘It is a powerful perfume,’ he says. ‘To me [orange blossom] is the most universal flower, one that transcends all eras.’
As the oldest candle manufacturer in the world, ‘transcending eras’ is Julien Pruvost’s raison d’être as Trudon’s creative director and CEO. The Maison was founded in 1643 by Claude Trudon, coinciding with Louis XIV’s reign and the establishment of his court at Versailles, and became the palace’s official wax-maker up until the French Revolution. Pruvost joined Trudon in 2019, a couple of years after the brand debuted its first collection of perfumes by Lie, Lyn Harris and Yann Vasnier.
