Discover Ernesto Alabaster Candle by Trudon, presented in the luminous Les Albâtres alabaster vessel — a sculptural interpretation of one of the House’s most powerful and evocative scents.
Inspired by the atmosphere of a Havana hotel under the fixed sun of the Revolution, Ernesto captures a world of shadow and intensity. Tobacco smoke curls through cool, dim interiors, where leather, wood, and waxed panelling hold the weight of history. Spiced rum and citrus open the composition, before deepening into resinous woods, smoky tobacco, and ambered warmth.
Housed in hand-carved alabaster, each Ernesto candle becomes both a source of light and a statement object — the stone’s natural veining echoing the depth and complexity of the fragrance within.
