The splendour of Indian jasmine.
The Duke of Tuscany first brought jasmine from India in 1690, a flower that originally comes from Arabia. Whether fresh or dried, it plays an important role in Indian myths, legends and daily rituals. Sometimes jasminum sambac is used to flavour loose tea, other times it is woven into flower garlands. In spiritual worship, the fragrant flower is even used as an offering in Hindu temples.
Les Belles Matières
Les Belles Matières by Trudon: pure and concentrated in their form, a trio of unique candles. Composed as a plant triptych, 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!
