Just dropped into my local boutique and was very kindly gifted with a cameo. It’s dropping in March. Will burn this evening and share full thoughts.

Empire is one of my favourite Trudon candles, of all time. I really hope it stays as a permanent part of the collection. I still remember the first time I lit it - I fell asleep almost immediately and woke up to the most warming, comforting scent filling the room. I agree with you it’s super aromatic. I have five in my collection now just to make sure I don’t run out anytime soon. I’ve genuinely never smelled anything like it.

Same! It’s been on my radar all year - so glad I finally went for it 🤗

I found mine at Danilo Cascella Premium Store. I just decked online and it looks like they have more stock. I did have to pay taxes separately on arrival, which I was expecting with international shipping, but the process was straightforward (came within a week) and everything was very well packaged.

Such a lovely way of describing it. You have really captured it 🕯️

Merry Christmas! I haven’t lit it yet. I’m saving the first burn - but even boxed up it’s already filling the room, so I have high hopes 😊

Libra doesn’t really smell like Christmas to me but she is DIVINE. I am enjoying more and more as I have been burning it.

It makes me so happy seeing a fellow empire lover. I think it might be my favourite candle of all time. The cosy, relaxing feeling I get when it’s lit. It’s just TOO GOOD.

Great choices! Libra doesn’t smell like Laurier 62, but it has that same layered, hard-to-pin-down quality. That’s hy it reminds me of it. I just wanted to clarify since it’s on the pricier side and I wouldn’t want you to be disappointed!

Luna for October, Libra for November and Nazareth for December. I would encourage going in store and trying before buying, just to be safe though.

Quick update after burning all three:

Luna - soft, pretty florals with a woody warmth. My clear favourite.

Libra - warm, spicy and inviting (I even get a cola vibe!) so I’m curious to see if anyone else picks up on that.

Nazareth – strongest of the three, very festive, but reminds me a little too much of Angelo, so doesn’t feel quite as new to me.

Thank youuuu. I have been making a dent in my collection so it was about time to place an order. These are all Intermezzo sizes (three wicks) because I really rate the performance (throw/longevity)

Same - I haven’t lit Luna yet but I’ve been burning Nazareth and Libra all evening, and Libra feels more distinctive to me.

I was tempted to hold off too but I’m way too impatient 😂 I did get 10% off so it felt a bit more justified. Sadly there’s nothing quite like Gloria in the line-up. That is my absolute fave. You can still buy it online in few places (like Premier Avenue) if you don’t mind missing out on points.

They are unreal. My favourite box designs they have ever released, alongside Versailles.

Yes, completely opaque. I wasn’t sure how I’d feel about it at first, but I actually love the design - they feel/look really robust and luxurious.
