Maison Trudon are back with this year’s annual Christmas collection: A Charming Christmas. Boasting five new and updated christmas-scented candles, the oldest and most esteemed candle-maker in the world draws inspiration from the charms and bracelets worn under Queen Victoria, and the fashion phenomena that subsequently emerged from 1950s Hollywood.

Celebrities, actresses and chic women turned the idea of these elegant charms — of gold bracelets and mini portrait-bearing medallions originally worn by the former monarch — into stylish fashion statements. Fun-loving yet debonair, the collection sings to the spirit of a trend that took America’s Golden Age by storm.

Aesthetically, the charms bring a welcome playfulness under the tree, each uniquely decorated by scent, with a clover, a sparrow, a shining star, a game of cards or a pair of angel wings — all precious symbols suggesting good luck, conveying many happy wishes. 

The whimsical drawings are the work of British illustrator Lawrence Mynott — a long-time collaborator with Trudon — whose innate style gives life to every single charm in this year’s collection. One of the greatest illustrators, designers and portrait painters of his generation, Mynott captures fun and festivity in abundance. 

The candle designs dance on colourful lacquered glass, each enhanced by exquisite interior gold leaf. Exclusive 2022 additions Spella (woody amber) and Felice (citrus & spices) — available in soft amber and light purple respectively — are the latest creative colours in the collection. Meanwhile, Gloria (woods & spices), Gabriel (gourmand chimney fire) and Fir (christmas tree) — available in red, green and blue — make their annual return.

The candles are presented in a forest green gift box, adorned with the hot gold illustrated charms. Each of the regular seasonal scents — Gabriel, Fir and Gloria — are available in 270g, 800g and 3kg sizes, while new additions Spella and Felice are stocked in the 270g classic size.
