MERLE'S CLOSET | FASHION COMMENTARY  | GOINGS ON | THE REAL DEAL | NOCTURNES

Come into Merle’s Closet for an insider’s view of the inner world of L.A. style.

“Scent is the only sense directly related to the brain,” declares Julien Pruvost, Creative Director and nose of the world’s oldest scent/candle company, Maison Trudon, which historically lined Marie Antoinette’s bedroom and Paris churches. Its only L.A. outpost now open on Melrose. “It doesn’t travel to our nervous system.” Your brain is hit by more than a waft of florals, spices aromatic,  when its WeHo door opens to the modernly quaint boutique. It’s like a wind, more monsoon than Santa Ana. A sniffy – and spiffy – crowd gathered this week to check out the maker of candles since 1643 new collection: Versailles.

The candles, in azure blue, stamped with the brand’s historic gold crest, is reminiscent of King Louis IV’s magnificent gardens – perfect for L.A. summer, whether you’ve got a garden, a porch or a rent control one bedroom.  How does one dress for a colorful room full of literally rich candles ($55 to $700), exotic diffusers (in Trudon green glass bases) and powerful Eau de Parfums named Josephine, Ernesto, Cyranos? Well, colorful personalities don’t need to wear color, necessarily. They just need to be themselves.
