The sensuality of sandalwood.
When British explorer Edward Foxhall discovered sandalwood on the Île des Pins in New Caledonia in 1840, it was still unknown in Europe. By the end of the 19th century, this precious, spicy wood had earned a reputation for its quality: known as “candana” in Sanskrit and “sandal” in Arabic, it was used as a precious balm for the hair and body. As a remedy for anxiety, it now blends seamlessly into the smoke of Asian incense.
Les Belles Matières
Les Belles Matières by Trudon: pure and concentrated in their form, a trio of unique candles. Composed as a triptych of plants, these fine perfumes orchestrate fruity, woody and floral scents: Reggio is filled with mandarin from Calabria; Tadine flirts with sandalwood from New Caledonia, while Maduraï blossoms with Indian jasmine.
A geographical odyssey, the collection takes us back to the origins of precious perfumes, immersing us in the great moments of botanical discovery and revealing the creation of great olfactory adventures.
Like the call of distant lands, the feeling of the absolute pervades ‘Les Belles Matières’. The gatekeeper of these secret discoveries is the midnight blue glass that envelops the ingenious essences. The three fragrance absolutes speak a modern language – ‘Les Belles Matières’, let there be matter!
