MUST READ - Why the low prices

Selare offers luxury fragrance experiences without the traditional retail markup. By focusing on exceptional scent quality, premium ingredients, and refined presentation rather than inflated boutique pricing, we’re able to deliver iconic fragrance profiles at far greater value. What you’re paying for is the fragrance experience itself — not the overhead of luxury storefronts, excessive branding costs, or unnecessary markups.

Description
The Altaïr Collection by Trudon offers luxurious home fragrances that evoke the warmth and mystery of the desert. Featuring a sensual and opulent woody-floral scent, the collection blends notes of oud and peony, transporting you to majestic, dreamlike landscapes. It is impressive: with 5 wicks, the Great Candle can be staged inside as well as outside. Sculptural, it loves the sight of a grand staircase or jardin à la française. They are manufactured at the Trudon workshop in Normandy, France, using unrivaled know-how inherited from master candle makers. A gust of freedom blowing from the Mascara coast and the mountains picks up on its way the green scents of fresh mint, the rashness of fights, ginger’s hot and peppered air and the perfume of tea and tobacco from the Ouled Nail tribe.

The story of Cire Trudon brand could be traced since 1643, when "Claude Trudon becomes the owner of a shop in Rue Saint-Honoré. He starts out as a merchant of wax and spices. The candles he manufactures are used in churches and for internal lighting. During Louis XIV's reign, Claude Trudon sets the foundation of a company that will bring fortune to his family. The Manufacture used beeswax to make its candles. Its motto “Deo regique laborant” meant “They work for God and the King". The court of Louis the 15th and the kingdom’s largest parishes were seduced by the Manufacture’s perfectly white candles. Besides their immaculate color, they burned for a long time and didn’t splutter. In 1737, his descendant Jérôme Trudon bought the Manufacture Royale des Cires (Royal Wax Manufacturer) in Antony from Seigneur Péan de Saint-Gilles. In 1762, in the Encyclopédie Raisonnée des Sciences, Arts et des Métiers (the Encyclopaedia of Reason for Science, Art and Trade), the engineer Duhamel du Monceau published an article on the Art of Candling. His text paid homage to the Trudons’ know-how, citing the Manufacture as an example. The Manufacture supplied Versailles up to the last days of the Ancient Regime and survived through the French Revolution. No political or industrial revolutions ever blighted the Manufacture’s existence, it even survived the arrival of the “miracle of electricity”. In 1889, the Manufacture’s know-how was honored with a gold medal at France’s World’s Fair. In 2007, the company took the name “Cire Trudon” and became a specialist in manufacturing perfumed candles. Today it enlists well-known “noses” to create perfumes for the stories it wishes to tell. Each candle is still dripped and made by hand, perpetuating a luxury manufacturing which helps perpetuates the skills of its founder, Claude Trudon. In 2014 Trudon opened a store at 11 rue Saint Croix-de-la-Bretonnerie in the Marais, a historical and typically Parisian area. Today Trudon candles shine throughout the world. The brand also started personal perfume line in 2017." - a note from the brand.

Fragrance Guidance

How do I choose the right fragrance?

Start with the note families you're naturally drawn to. The main families are:

Floral— soft, romantic, feminine.
Woody / Oud— deep, warm, long-lasting.
Fresh / Citrus— clean, light, ideal for daytime.
Oriental / Amber— rich, sensual, complex.
Gourmand— sweet, comforting, distinctive.

What's the difference between EDP, EDT, and Parfum?

These terms refer to the concentration of fragrance oil in the formula:

Parfum / Extrait: 20–40% — the most intense and longest-lasting.
Eau de Parfum (EDP): 15–20% — rich, long-lasting, ideal for everyday wear.
Eau de Toilette (EDT): 5–15% — lighter, fresher, great for daytime or warmer weather.

How long do your fragrances last on skin?

Longevity varies by concentration and skin type.

As a general guide — EDP: 6–10 hours, EDT: 4–6 hours, Parfum: 10+ hours.

Applying to pulse points (wrists, neck, behind the ears) and to moisturised skin will maximise the wear of any fragrance.

MUST READ - What does 'UA Approved' mean?

UA Approved stands for Unauthorized Authentic — items manufactured in the same factories, using the same ingredients, materials and production standards as the retail versions sold in brand boutiques.

They are the same physical product, produced to the same specification, without the brand's retail premium attached. The only difference is the price.

How does the quality compare to what's sold in boutiques?

The quality is uncompromising — the same attention to detail, premium ingredients, and refined craftsmanship expected from the world’s most iconic fragrances. From the richness of the oils to the depth, longevity, and overall scent experience, every bottle is selected to deliver a luxury fragrance experience without the traditional retail markup. When you shop with Selare, you’re choosing sophistication, performance, and timeless scent profiles at exceptional value.

Why are prices so much lower than retail?

Retail luxury prices include an average 10–20× markup over manufacturing cost. That markup covers boutique rent, global marketing budgets, brand licensing fees, and multiple layers of distribution intermediaries.

Selaré sources directly from the factories — removing every layer of overhead. You pay for what the object actually costs to make, not what it costs to maintain a brand's global retail infrastructure.

Do items come with original packaging and accessories?

Yes. Every Selare order is presented with the same premium attention to detail expected from a luxury fragrance experience. Your fragrance arrives beautifully packaged, making the unboxing feel refined, elevated, and gift-worthy from the moment it arrives. From presentation to first spray, the experience is designed to feel every bit as luxurious as the scent itself.

All transactions are processed through SSL-encrypted, PCI-compliant payment gateways. We accept all major credit and debit cards, as well as PayPal and other secure payment methods at checkout.

Your financial details are never stored on our servers. Every transaction is handled by your chosen payment provider under their full security protocols.

Shipping costs and estimated delivery times are calculated at checkout based on your location. For high-value orders, discreet packaging and signature-on-delivery are applied as standard.
