L'Esprit de L'Eau (The Spirit of Water) is embodied by a mystical water with the fragrance of incense. Created by Benoist Lapouza, this candle combines a mineral accord — that of clear water gliding over mountain rocks — with woody notes of cedar and of cypress, as well as spicy notes of pepper and juniper berry. L'Esprit de L'Eau illustrates high perspective and purity, as its name in Chinese suggests: Book of Song (Dynasty) refers to the ascetic philosophy of that time, seeking from nature inspiration for a spiritual life in solitude and elevation. Founded in 1693, Trudon is one of the oldest and most prestigious wax-producing factories in the world. The French brand is renowned for its handmade scented candles developed in collaboration with world-class perfumers.
