Altair Candle
SKU: 51947
With the Altaïr collection, Trudon journeys to the desert and sand dunes: the woody, floral fragrance brings forward oud’s strong character mixed with the finesse of a warm peony.
The call of the Desert:
Sensual and opulent, Altaïr is a woody-floral fragrance: blending oud and peony, it offers a sensory immersion that brings forward the heat of the desert, its sandy winds and enveloping flowers.
Using warm and amber tones, the collection reinterprets sand dunes in a modern, graphic way: its design plays with sculptural light and golden-brown shadows, with shifting ripples on the desert surface and key geometric elements. Altaïr transports us to a majestic, dreamlike destination.
Fragrance:
Created by perfumer Émilie Bouge (Robertet), Altaïr reveals a distinctive attraction to faraway lands: “I composed Altaïr as an opulent, elegant, nude and resolutely modern fragrance: the exotic, gentle and enveloping scent transports us to an imaginary destination,” explains the nez. Altaïr's woody-floral duality is immediately appealing: a warm peony blends with the strength of oud; it is further revealed by a deep, textured leather-suede note. “First, you feel the woods and then comes the soft peony: it brings out the fragrance’s rosy side and a beige-pink universe reminiscent of sand dunes. Altaïr brings together beautiful, timeless, raw materials (sandalwood, cedar, styrax, agarwood); although distinctive, all ingredients come together in a common chromatic universe. Altaïr is highly symbolic: it portrays the strength of wood and earth with the finesse of flowers”.
Notes:
Raspberry, Peonies, Agar wood, Sandalwood, Rose, Cedar wood, Leather.

In order to make the most of your candle, we recommend burning it until the whole surface is liquid, in order to free the wick and ensure perfect burning when it is next used.
- Do not leave your candle to burn for more than three consecutive hours, in order to preserve its perfume.
- Leave it to cool down completely before using it again and remove the burnt part of the wick. To prevent any smoke when you put it out, dip the wick into the wax and take it out again immediately. Arrange it in the center, ready for re-lighting.
- Keep the candles away from children, flammable objects and fragile surfaces. Never leave them to burn unattended.
- Do not let the flame reach the bottom of your glass so that the glass does not get hot; leave 0.5 cm of wax at the bottom of the glass.

Founded in 1643, on the threshold of the reign of Louis XIV, Cire Trudon is the oldest Candlemaker in the world still active today.
Throughout the 17th century, the manufacturer became the Royal Wax Manufacturer and official supplier in the French court, then to Napoléon Bonaparte. Cire Trudon received a Gold Medal during the 1889 Universal Exhibit as a reward for the outstanding quality of its candles and wax.
Trudon enlists well-known “noses” to create perfumes for the stories it wishes to tell. Each candle is still dripped and made by hand in its factory in Normandy, perpetuating a luxury manufacturing which helps perpetuates the skills of its founder, Claude Trudon.
