Spiritus Sancti

From Trudon Splinters of crimson, gold, and olibanum, heady and holy perfume of altar candles, luxurious wake of the senses and perfume-burners where amber splutters: under the nave of a cathedral, the jubilant choir and the holy scents rise into the souls. “Spiritus sanctus” is the Latin name for the holy spirit in the Christian religion. It is spoken during prayers and uttered when one makes the sign of the cross.

When correctly taken care of, no smoke leaves a Trudon candle and no wax is left on the sides of the glass. The wicks are made of cotton. One can find many types of wicks, characterized by their weaving and their diameter. The wicks are chosen depending on the shape and size of the glasses and the burning characteristics of each candle. Each glass is unique and hand-crafted in Tuscany. Their shape is inspired by champagne buckets. The Trudon emblem is inspired by a bas-relief found at the old Royal Wax Manufacture which used to belong to the Trudon family. Situated in Antony, near Paris, it now belongs to the Church. Nowadays the domain hosts the nuns of the Saint-Joseph de Cluny congregation.
