Trudon

The Alabaster Candle Ernesto

$260

Trudon is the world's oldest candlemaker still in business. From the rich fragrances to the gilded plaques on the…
front, and even the deo regique laborant motto ("[the bees] work for God and the King"), everything about the brand is luxurious. This collection swaps out the classic green glass housing for milky, translucent stone. Each container and matching top is sculpted in Spain from a single block of alabaster — the natural veining means every piece is unique — which surrounds the flame to create a beautiful halo of light as it burns. Oh, and it smells great, too. The Ernesto scent is earthy and Havana-inspired, with notes of tobacco and leather.

PRO TIPS FOR BURNING CANDLES

The first time you light a candle, let it burn for 2-3 hours, or until the whole surface is liquid. Wax has muscle memory, and this trains it to burn evenly and last as long as possible. You'll also want to get in the habit of trimming the wick to 1/4" before lighting to prevent tunneling and excessive smoking.
