The Light of the Season, Trudon’s Scented Madeleine Candles
Three fragrances, one timeless ritual of light
Every winter, light becomes a language. It flickers across tables, gleams in windows, and warms even the quietest corners of home. At BON TON goods, that language is spoken most beautifully through Trudon’s Madeleine candles, delicate tapers hand-crafted in Normandy, now scented for the festive season with Nazareth, Fir, and Gabriel.
Crafted in small lots and poured with traditional methods, each candle glows in a soft, snowy white, a purity that flatters every table setting. Their gentle flame and subtle scent create a refined atmosphere, perfect for winter dinners, Christmas gatherings, and evenings when beauty feels almost like stillness.
The Madeleine — From Paris to Normandy
Once created to illuminate the Église de la Madeleine in Paris, these tapers have long been part of Trudon’s history. They were the candles of ceremony and devotion, designed to burn evenly and brightly in sacred spaces.
Today, Trudon’s master chandlers continue the same craft in their Normandy atelier, using superior wax, cotton wicks, and time-honoured techniques. What was once a candle of the church has become a candle of the home — pure, elegant, and unmistakably French.
The Scents of the Season
Nazareth — The Joy of Gathering
The return of a Trudon classic, Nazareth invites warmth and generosity to the table. With head notes of bitter orange, cinnamon, mandarin, and grapefruit, its opening is bright and joyful — like fruit and spice simmering on the stove.
The heart unfolds into clove, cardamom, and Chinese osmanthus, creating an irresistible, gourmand blend that fills the air with comfort. Finally, benzoin resin, myrrh, musk, and bourbon vanilla linger softly in the background — a scent of celebration and closeness, made for candlelight and conversation.
Perfect for: The festive table, where citrus and spice mingle with laughter.
Fir — The Enchantment of Winter
If Nazareth is the scent of gathering, Fir is the scent of the forest itself. It harmonizes conifer, myrrh, and incense, capturing the serene magic of a winter woodland.
With notes of Siberian pine, leather, and fir tree, the fragrance recalls the moment the Christmas tree is brought indoors, its scent mingling with cold air and candle flame. Gaiac wood, Chinese cedar, and myrrh add warmth, while ambergris, cistus, incense, and patchouli create depth and mystery.
Perfect for: The evening before Christmas — calm, green, and quietly majestic.
Gabriel — The Glow of Comfort
Where Fir evokes the forest, Gabriel brings the hearth. It is the fragrance of warmth, woven from birch wood, candied chestnut, and cashmere wood — the scent of winter afternoons when the world outside is white and still.
Beneath its sweetness lies moss, cedarwood, musk, and patchouli, grounding the perfume in a comforting woodiness that feels like memory itself. Gabriel is nostalgic, tender, and impossibly cozy.
Perfect for: Fireside evenings, where candlelight softens the edges of the world.
A Candle for Every Celebration
Each box of six scented Madeleine candles is a gift of fragrance and light — made to be mixed, matched, and layered.
Pair Nazareth’s spiced glow with unscented tapers for a gentle diffusion at the dinner table, or cluster Fir and Gabriel in a living room for a quiet winter symphony of scent.
Whether arranged in silver holders or antique ceramics, these candles transform every setting into a tableau of warmth and reflection. Their flame is steady, their scent discreet yet unforgettable — the very definition of slow luxury.
