Too expensive for a candle??? NO!!! This is the best candle ever. It’s worth every single penny that I spent. The natural scent that’s perfect for those can’t resist the strong scent. Also, this candle does not have the uncomfortable after smell likes other candle that I have used. The luxury look is a plug that could use to decorate my house! MUST TRY.

An old world scent

After trialing Ernesto with Trudon’s wax melts, I made the decision to invest in the candle. This scent is old world, deep and complex. It immediately reminds me of walking the streets in European cities where church incense floats on the air and tobacco trails through open windows. The candle packaging is simple but functional and the candle is a solid, robust size with a long burning duration. The scent is permeable through the box and gently drifts through the air when unlit. I often take it out to simply smell. It has a sweetness and spice without being sugary or heavy like many scented candles. If you want a candle with a strong, lingering fragrance which casts you to intoxicating hidden a Parisian laneways, this is the perfect scent. It’s an indulgent spend, ... MoreAfter trialing Ernesto with Trudon’s wax melts, I made the decision to invest in the candle. This scent is old world, deep and complex.

However, this is a splurge to be savoured for those wanderlust evenings and cold afternoons spent daydreaming of trips abroad. Beautiful and regal, an old world scent from an old world candlemaker.

Champagne experience on a beer budget!

I purchased a mini cire trudon candle which has a warming slightly sweet and spicy fragrance and it's lovely but the real WOW factor was the way this purchase was packaged. I received a medium sized box and found inside a personalised thank you card which was such a fantastic personal touch! The package was scented with Saskia by Grandiflora which is gorgeous and not only did I receive the four perfume samples I requested but I also was gifted a pouch full of other various samples AND a cire trudon wax cameo!! I felt so spoilt and my two friends whom I told about my experience went straight to the website to browse as they wanted to receive the same treatment! Haha such a lovely way to receive a purchase, it felt more like I was receiving a gift. 100 stars to you ... MoreI purchased a mini cire trudon candle which has a warming slightly sweet and spicy fragrance and it's lovely but the real WOW factor was the way this purchase was packaged.

Cire Trudon Ernesto Candle 270 g

Superb quality as always by Cire Trudon - this is an expensive but hand-crafted, high quality product. Ernesto is a smoky, woody aroma with a hint of citrus. I would only choose Ernesto for someone I know already likes it or enjoys statement fragrances. A real luxury for someone special who is discerning and will appreciate it as it is expensive. The glass vessel can be reused as it’s also lovely. Smooth ordering and delivery from Myer.

Intoxicatingly delicious.

This candle is a regular in our home. The mix of bergamot and oak moss give it and 0ld World charm. It reminds me of sneaking into a Gentleman's Club, and smelling that heady mixture of patchouli and amber. Total decadence. Totally Parisian.

My forever candle

I am a candle addict. But if I could only have 1 candle for the rest of my life, this would be it. The scent is captivating, sexy, unique. Friends of ours loved it so much in our home that they immediately bought one for their home, too! You could burn Ernesto any time of the year, but my preference is in the evenings and/or when it gets cold outside. It's such a gorgeous candle in every way possible!

Ne plus ultra

Realistically, once you’ve come to terms with spending more than $100 on a candle, you’re not going to make a poor choice: everything at that level is good. Maybe there’s something you like in particular, sure, but overall you’re not going to miss at this level. But Ernesto is something else. The bouquet is amazing, of course - but it’s more than that. No other candle has the same power, both in terms of throw, but more importantly in terms of emotion. Say you have a friend who thinks you must be mad to buy a $130 candle - get them Ernesto as a gift and they will understand. That’s how powerful Ernesto is.

Powdery, Rose spice

Trying a few of the Cire Trudon candles to find my favourite florals .Although I do not like spice, Oud or Oriental perfumes as a perfume scent , I don’t mind them in a candle for my home .This is a well made mixture of powdery Iris , Rose and Spices .I got the sample size but won’t buy a full size candle as I have a few more to try but that’s only because I would like it to be a touch more floral . Just my taste and not taking away from the quality and craftsmanship of Cire Trudon.As usual , Libertine have provided outstanding service and presentation . Every purchase experience is an exciting , pleasure journey .

Quality candle

Nicely made candle - quality scent.Moreover, the service provided by Libertine is what has driven this review.The packaging was done incredibly well, the addition of a hand written note is a lovely gesture and a substantial bag of samples was just amazing.This is what sets a good business from a great business. All the small touches that make the entire experience worth the repeat business.Well done Libertine. You have our repeat business.

smells like expensive french perfume

very scented candle with incredible throw. It absolutely fragrances the whole house when it's burning. This one is a very floral scent which threw me off at first, but it smell very lux and expensive and nicer as its burning than the scent that comes off just in the jar. My only disappointment is that for the price it burns very fast. Have to only let it burn an hour or two here and there in order to make it last.
