BALMAIN AND TRUDON ANNOUNCE A NEW COUTURE EDITION OF
THE BALMAIN - TRUDON CANDLE

Balmain and Trudon are happy to announce a special, limited-edition version of the popular Balmain
Trudon candle, with the packaging and glass container temporarily adopting a wa rm, crimson tone.
Perfect to start this new year on a very couture note.

Since it was first introduced over a year ago, the Bal main - Trudon scented candle has become one of
Bal main’s most popular collaborations. Developed by the historic fashion house’s Creative Director,
Olivier Rousteing, in partnership with fragrance house Robertet perfumer Emilie Bouge, the offering is
an evolution of Trudon’s best- selling Ernesto candle. Which makes perfect sense, since the Ernesto has
long been Rousteing’s favorite, forming a key ingredient of the distinctive ambience found within his
office, studio and home, as well as the interiors of Bal main boutiques across the globe. Bouge
concocted an expert floral and feminine flourish for Ernesto’s masculine cedarwood, gunpower and
cigar notes, relying on the mysterious and distinct touch of a black rose, in order to create the ideal
olfactory reflection of Rousteing’s twenty-first century Bal main.

Bouge’s adept twist on Rousteing’s preferred scent is not the only element of the Balmain Trudon
candle that channels the unmistakable spirit of today’s Bal main. The unique glass container, with its
bold stipes, reference one of Rousteing’s signature Paris runway themes: his modern, luxe to kes on
France’s traditional mar/n/ére sweater. In addition, to best reflect Bal main’s long couture heritage, the
candle’s label has been printed in gold foil and hand-applied directly upon the glass. Other gold-foil
logos—of both the house of Bal main and house Trudon—decorate the top and sides of the candle’s
chic, rectangular packaging.

The special limited-edition Bal main-Maison Trudon candle can now be purchased at KENS Apothecary
Online www.kensapothecary.com.my or offline store at Bangsar Shopping Centre, Bangsar Village II,
The Gardens Mall and Sunway Pyramid Shopping Mall.
Available in two sizes—Classic (270g) and La Grande Bougie (2,8kg) .
