More than a list of resolutions, travel has a way of brightening one’s outlook.
Though the world is free to roam once more, these days call for something that’s a little more potent. An escape to quell our longing for pre-pandemic times.
Faster than a flight—and just as transportive—is fragrance, especially when it’s an olfactory journey orchestrated by Cire Trudon and its storied line of hand-crafted candles. While a medley of site-specific notes can whisk you to any part of the world, Trudon’s candles go even further. Through richly tapestried fragrances, each candle takes you on a journey—not just to another place but to another time.
From the verbena and flush bouquet of the La Marquise candle, you can almost hear the private conversations of Louis XIV’s mistress Madame de Pompadour wafting from wax and wick. A whiff of leather and tobacco in the Ernesto candle steers you into a Havana hotel in the ‘50s, prompting you to lounge in the haze of the Cuban revolution. Or revel in rapturous orange blossom as the Odalisque candle ferries you through an entire epoch in Ottoman art.
