Made in the image of Madame de Pompadour, Cire Trudon’s scented cameos are wax melts that can be used in an oil burner to release scent into your space.
Defender of the arts, literature, philosophy, and the one of the favourites of Louis the 15th, Madame de Pompadour reinvestigated cameos as ornamental pieces.
The cameo wax melts come in a pack of four.

CYRNOS
Inspired by the aromatic gardens surrounding the Villa Cyrnos (built in 1894 by Empress Eugénie, who oversaw the construction of one of the most beautiful villas of Cap Martin on the Côte d’Azur) as it welcomed the flamboyant upper crust of early-20th century high society. Queens, poets and artists met in the shade of fig trees and parasol pines under the warm Mediterranean sun.
They enjoyed a fabulous view and the easy life, so typical of the blue Mediterranean shores. The villa benefited from Roquebrune’s air of scented lavender mixed with the dry aromas of Provence.

BURN TIME
The Cameo Wax Melts burn come in a pack of 4 and burn for 8 hours per melt.

HOW IT SMELLS
Cyrnos is such a unique take on a fig fragrance. Earthy, herbal and aromatic, underpinned by the creamy fruitiness of the fig throughout its burn. The perfect balance between fresh-fruity and rich-earthy makes it easy to understand why Cyrnos a best-seller!

LORE LOVES
We love how Cyrnos is such a personal fragrance – the Director of Trudon grew up in the South of France so knew and loved it well, which meant there was incredible attention to detail in the creation of this scent. The result is spectacular – this candle is the fragrance of the South of France in the middle of summer. It is perfectly sublime… almost as good as being there…almost!

ABOUT THE BRAND
Founded in 1643, Trudon is the oldest wax manufacturer in the world.
In 1640s Paris, Claude Trudon, a convenience store owner, began to make tapered candles with a new methodology he had developed, utilising a special blend of beeswax and vegetable wax. His high-quality candles rapidly gained popularity, as they didn’t warp, smoke or splutter, and therefore didn’t cause fires!
In 1702, Trudon opened a factory so that their highly sought-after candles could be manufactured on a larger scale. Before long, their secret wax formula (still used today!) attracted the attention of the Crown. The house of Trudon became the candle provider to the Royal Court of Louis XIV, as well as many of the great churches of France. Louis XIV was so impressed with their candles that he issued a seal of approval with his official family crest. This crest can now be seen affixed to every Trudon product, with the addition of the motto “Deo regique laborant”, which means: “they (the bees) work for God and the King”, a nod to the creature that made their successful wax formula possible!
By the mid-17th century, Trudon had become the largest wax manufacturer in France. As candle makers to the Royal Court, Trudon were commissioned to make candles for many French icons – from Louis XIV to Marie Antoinette to Napoleon Bonaparte. Napoleon actually commissioned Trudon to make a candle for the birth of his son – rumoured to be the only gift he ever gave him – a black candle made in his likeness, adorned in gold.
Fast forward to 2007 when the house took the name Trudon and became the leading specialist in manufacturing perfumed candles. All their candles are still hand-made, using traditional production methods akin to those Claude Trudon would have used in the 1600s. In their Normandy factory, each candle is hand-poured into hand-blown vessels from Tuscany. Today, Trudon has extended their range to a line of genderless perfumes in addition to their variety of options for luxuriously fragrancing your space.
