/
These uplifting scents of mountain air and pipe smoke are inspired by Blessed Pier Giorgio Frassati. 
 
Behind the Inspiration: 
Pier Giorgio is well known and loved for his example of true masculinity, and in perhaps his most famous photograph he is in the mountains smoking a pipe. Growing up near the foothills of the Alps, he was a skilled mountain climber. In a letter he wrote, "With every passing day, I fall madly in love with the mountains; their fascination attracts me." 
 
In another famous photograph, Pier Giorgio is climbing a mountain face. He actually sent this second picture to a friend just days before his death, having written "Verso l'alto" on it. His message can be translated "To the heights" or "To the top," a play on his love for mountain climbing and his deep love for God.
Pier Giorgio is the patron of Italian Confraternities and his intercession is frequently invoked by students, mountain climbers, youth, and Dominican tertiaries. His feast day is July 4.
 
Blessed Pier Giorgio Frassati, pray for us.

  • Burn until the melted wax reaches edge to edge, or very nearly, to reduce tunneling

  • Keep out of direct sunlight

Blessed Pier Giorgio Frassati candle

This candle is my favorite! I love the "outdoorsy" scent and it always makes me visualize Pier on the mountain in his hiking attire. It is a peaceful scent , yet "rugged"- a favorite!!

Thank you for this wonderful description of the Alpine Ascent candle! We are happy that you love the candle and appreciate the review Barbara! - the CORDA team

so calming and wonderful

My "word" for the year is actually Bl. Frassati's famous phrase "Verso L'alto" and this is the perfect companion for meditating on centering my life higher/to the top and closer to God. The scent is so perfect for prayer and is not overpowering but still very distinct.

A manly scent without being overwhelming. My friend felt so loved when she saw I knew her favorite saint and got it for her in a candle scent!

We are glad that your friend loved the scent inspired by her favorite saint! Thanks for gifting the candle and for the review Ana! - the CORDA team
