Prague, Czechia: a city shrouded in mystery
Prague, the city that never lets you go Prague is a city both loved and feared, one you long to reach, and once you do, it never truly lets you leave. Perhaps we have inherited this feeling from Franz Kafka, the city’s emblematic genius, who once wrote that Prague is like a possessive mother, holding you tightly so you cannot escape. Over the years, travellers and locals alike have confessed to feeling a deep, inevitable bond with the city, along with a sense of captivation and captivity. Much has been written about Prague, yet no one has ever denied its profoundly mysterious spirit. You don’t need to know the many legends of ghosts and haunted places to feel that something unusual lingers in the air, even on the brightest summer days or during the festive winter evenings, when the city transforms into a luminous garden of lights. Prague compels you to look deeper into its secrets, to let your imagination wander, and to savour the time it keeps you close, whether you like it or not. Every corner tells a story, while the atmosphere wraps you in a captivating stillness and a singular energy. Prague’s luxurious reflections Year after year, the city veils its secrets beneath the citrus-and-cinnamon-scented cloak of its famous Christmas Market, one of the most beloved and visited in Europe. Through the glittering reflections of thousands of lights, the enticing aromas, children’s laughter, and the clinking of mugs filled with mulled wine, Prague shrouds its mystery in festive splendour. The same festive radiance is carried by Reflet de Luxe, a Trufash fragrance inspired by the city’s enigmatic soul. Once launched as a candle, it now extends across our full portfolio: candles, wax melts, reed diffusers, and car fresheners, embracing your space with the same luxurious aura. It captures you instantly with warm, sweet, gently spiced notes reminiscent of Christmases past: bergamot, lemon, mandarin, and cinnamon, twirling together in perfect harmony, like snowflakes dancing in the winter night. Yet, just like Prague, the mystery lies beneath the surface. The aristocratic charm and bohemian history of the city are revealed in its imperial heart notes: amber, cedarwood, jasmine, patchouli, and tobacco. These notes transport you to literary cafés of bygone days, to ballroom evenings within the great castle, to tales of romance and intrigue carved into the city’s ancient walls. Finally, the true identity of Prague, the one hidden from the casual tourist, is embodied in the mystical, spiritual base of the fragrance: sandalwood, musk, myrrh, tonka, and vanilla. No ingredient in our creations is ever chosen by chance. And if Prague’s essence could be distilled into just one, it would be tonka: a few beans bring an irresistibly rich aroma; a few too many, and the balance tips into something dangerously overwhelming. Live the sensory experience of a unique city Prague is not just a destination that delights the eyes, it invites you to explore it with every sense. From the taste of traditional craft beer, to the scent of aged wood in old cafés, to the touch of the cold stone on Charles Bridge, every visit feels like a journey through time. It is a discovery of a place that breathes history and makes you wonder what secrets still hide behind its ancient walls, secrets you may not even want to uncover. If Prague were an image, it would be an autumn morning, wrapped in dense, mystical fog slowly rising over Charles Bridge, giving statues enough time to close their eyes and turn back to stone, while the silhouettes of passersby fade into the crisp air. If Prague were a fragrance, it would be myrrh, the scent of silence, reverie, and suspended time. It would be tobacco and amber, heavy, enigmatic notes that conceal the secrets of alchemists. And it would be all of these, yes, but also the aroma of craft beer blending with fresh bread and sweet pastries from traditional shops, none ever out of place alongside the others. If Prague were a sound, it would be the strike of the Astronomical Clock on the Town Hall tower, the oldest operating mechanical clock in the world. At every full hour, the twelve apostles make their procession, accompanied by a skeleton that announces the passing into nothingness, or perhaps simply the passing of time, marked by the fateful tone of the bell it rings. If Prague were a touch, it would be the velvety sensation felt on your fingertips when brushing against the yellowed pages of an old book, forgotten on a dim shelf in a library scented with a faint mustiness.
