    Frequently Asked Questions

    Why are Trudon candles so highly regarded?

    Trudon candles are valued for hand-poured wax, a strong layered scent and the heavy pressed-glass vessels that many people keep and reuse once the wax is gone; they sit among our luxury candles. At Eleish Van Breems Home we carry Trudon candles for the scent and the glass alike.

    Which Trudon candles scent suits a first purchase?

    Choosing a first from the Trudon candles range, pick the scent by the room: fresh green or citrus for a kitchen or study, warmer woods and amber for an evening sitting room, as our luxury scented candles show. Smell it in person where you can, since scent is personal.

    How do I get the longest burn from Trudon candles?

    To get the cleanest burn from Trudon candles, trim the wick to about five millimetres before lighting, let the first burn spread to the edges so it does not tunnel, and keep the flame out of draughts, as with Flamingo Estate candles. Stop while a little wax still covers the base.

    What makes Trudon candles a signature gift?

    Trudon candles make a signature gift because the scent and the reusable glass are both remembered well after the evening, and the empty vessel becomes a pot for pencils or joins a candle holders display. Edie van Breems saves the emptied glasses for cut flowers.
