ERNESTO - Scented Candle

Trudon – ERNESTO – Scented Candle

When Trudon ERNESTO revives the rebellious spirit of Havana’s smoky nights

The Trudon ERNESTO scented candle is a tribute to the raw, uncompromising intensity of a city shaped by heat, revolution and the pulse of human courage. Inspired by the legend of Ernesto “Che” Guevara, this candle captures the atmosphere of a small wooden-paneled hotel hidden in the narrow streets of Havana. Outside, the revolution swells beneath the tropical dusk; inside, cigar smoke coils through the air, mingling with the scent of leather, warm wood and the tense quiet of men keeping watch. Flickering shadows reveal faces carved by hope, fatigue and defiance. Trudon ERNESTO transforms this charged moment into an olfactory scene of warmth, smoke and irresistible depth.

Tobacco, leather and Havana heat – the expressive core of Trudon ERNESTO

At the heart of this creation lies a commanding blend of leather and tobacco. Smoky, warm and richly textured, these notes define the signature of Trudon ERNESTO. Yet before the depth unfolds, the candle opens with an unexpected brightness: a spirited splash of rum intertwined with invigorating grapefruit, cutting through the smoke like a sudden breath of night air on the Malecón.

As the fragrance deepens, the middle notes emerge with a powerful presence. Clove, oakwood and patchouli bring a spicy, earthy structure that recalls worn wooden counters, old cigar boxes and the intimate abrasion of Havana’s social life. The scent moves with the rhythm of a dimly lit salon, filled with whispered debates and lingering smoke.

Warm resins and dense woods – the lingering foundation of ERNESTO

The base of Trudon ERNESTO glows with amber, musk and labdanum. These materials anchor the fragrance in warmth and resinous richness, evoking soft leather armchairs, dim corridors and the afterglow of a long night. The result is a scent that fills the room with presence — powerful but elegant, smoky yet refined.

A candle with character – for rooms that demand atmosphere

Trudon ERNESTO is made for connoisseurs of bold, smoky, leather-driven fragrances. It suits spaces with personality: libraries, studies, lounges, intimate living rooms or any interior where depth and warmth are desired. ERNESTO doesn’t merely scent the air; it tells a story, shaping the room with a distinctive aura that lingers like memory.

The craftsmanship of Trudon – an icon of French luxury since 1643

Each candle is poured by hand in France and presented in a Tuscan hand-blown glass vessel bearing the historic gold emblem of Cire Trudon. As the world’s oldest active candle manufacturer, founded in 1643, Trudon has served the French royal court and grand cathedrals with candles renowned for purity, longevity and expressive fragrance. ERNESTO carries this heritage with pride, uniting tradition, craftsmanship and storytelling in one exceptional creation.
