Paris-based candle brand, Trudon, has been recognizing the Queen since before her death with a candle titled Balmoral. For a little background, Balmoral Castle is the summer estate of the royal family and where Queen Elizabeth happened to take her last breath. The residence lies in Aberdeenshire, a region of Scotland surrounded by valleys, trees, flowers, and of course, thistle, a Scottish symbol.

The candle is produced in Normandy, France and comes in the scent of mist soil and meadows. Per the website, "After the rain, mist rises from the plains in an earthy haze and humus. Damp ferns, sprouts, and meadows … under the green sun, already draining the storm, they surrender their herbaceous vapors to the passing wind."

The candle comes in one size, the Classic Candle, and is perfect for any room in the house. According to the description of the candle, when correctly taken care of, the wax shouldn't stick to the side of the glass and the wicks are made of cotton. Each glass is handcrafted in Tuscany and stamped with the Trudon family emblem.
