Know before you buy
Solis Rex is a sophisticated, woody fragrance that balances bright citrus top notes like orange and eucalyptus with a grounding base of incense, cedarwood, and fir bark. It is designed to evoke the grandeur of Versailles, resulting in a scent that feels both regal and earthy.
You can expect a burn time of approximately 55 to 60 hours. To maximize this, ensure you trim the wick to about a quarter-inch before each use and allow the wax to melt to the edges of the glass during the first burn.
Yes, the complex blend of incense and cedarwood provides a strong, lingering throw that is well-suited for larger living areas. Its fragrance profile is designed to fill a space rather than just scenting a small corner.
The candle comes in a signature Cire Trudon glass vessel, which is heavy, elegant, and designed to be repurposed once the wax is finished. Its timeless aesthetic is intended to complement a wide range of interior styles.
Every Solis Rex candle is handcrafted in France, adhering to the traditional manufacturing techniques that Cire Trudon has refined over centuries.
