Parfum Rigaud is one of the oldest perfumers and dates back to the early 19th century. The Rigaud candle was created in 1950 by Madame Rigaud who had the original idea of opening a House Gift shop, offering environmental fragrances and thus the Rigaud candle was born. Rigaud's great achievement was to combine successfully in a candle, fragrance and wax which, when burning, released the wonderful Rigaud scents. They also have an extremely long burning capacity. The Standard and Recharge burns for 50 hours, where as, the Demi and Mini burn for 25 hours and 12 hours respectively.Rigaud is the environmental fragrance par excellence, known worldwide. The White House became a place filled with the wonderful Cypres candle, as Jacqueline Bouvier Kennedy brought them into the world of JFK.
