from 2309 reviewsI’m a candlemaker too. The moment I discovered these candles at Little Flower Gift Shop in Katy, Texas, I was filled with utmost excitement of how CORDA creates candles in honor of saints and most especially the Catholic faith.
I know the time and effort that goes into making candles and super fussy about fragrance strength.
CORDA fragrance strength is perfection and packaging is above and beyond beautiful.
Initially, I purchased St. Joseph Carpenter Shop to light during my 33 day devotion of consecration to St. Joseph.
Then, on January 28, 2023, I purchased buy 3 get one free, which happened to be the day of my Consecration to St. Joseph.
Such an miraculous way for St. Joseph to make himself known to me.
I consider CORDA candles sacred and holy flames that warm my heart.
Thank you for all your hard work.
CORDA has become a part of my life on earth.
I’ve been a soloprenuer over 35 years (long before it was cool to have a “side hustle” or own a business).
I pray the love and grace of God brings peace and relief wherever business becomes overwhelming.
Sincerely,
Dawn
I have been searching for a candle that gives off that prayerful incense-like scent at Mass without being too overpowering and this is it!!! Great quality and scent!
Absolutely love every product I have ordered from Corda. Great quality and such a good scent. Makes a great gift!
Anna is so lovely! I had a little shipping debacle, and she was so kind and fixed it for me.
The candles themselves are wonderful. I admit, I'm a candle addict, and I ordered this sampler to decide which scents I liked best so that I could order more at a later date. Unfortunately, they're all excellent and it's so hard to decide!
Corda candles burn clean and have a gentle scent. They are packaged beautifully.
I’m loving the scents of these tea lights. Highly recommend a tea light sampler if you’re wanting to explore various scents. This would also make a good gift for Mother’s Day, coming up soon.
This candle smells so amazing, that I could just put a dab on my wrist as a perfume! My grand-daughter loves the smell of it also!
We will continue to purchase these wonderfully fragrant candles. It is a blessing to enjoy them in our home!
Took a chance and made my selections by the descriptions offered online. I have not been disappointed! Love to burn one while doing my Bible Institute Scripture readings and written homework. A great way to keep me focused and channeling the Holy Spirit for perseverance! Definitely will re-order when no more remain💕
Anna, is great on keeping you posted on your order. It arrived quickly and securely wrapped. I love supporting a small business that promotes our Catholic identity.
A lovely new scent that reminds me of a recent visit to Assisi.
I have almost each one of Corda's candles and I love them all! My newest favorite is the Poverello (St. Francis of Assissi).
This is my second time to buy this scent! I love it! Perfect for prayer time or having company over.
I don't like scents that are too "perfumey". This candle was the perfect amount, softly scented. It burns/melts evenly. Very high quality candle!

For Lenten meditations
Memento Mori
Memento Mori, which means “remember you will die,” has somber scents of clay, stone, and stillness.
It’s perfect for Lent, reminding us of the call to die to self, and how we are dust and to dust we shall return. Keeping death before our eyes inspires us to live well, for God and others. This candle’s scents recall our own future burial and trustful waiting for Christ’s return to raise the dead to life.
liturgical living
Fiat, inspired by Our Lady of the Annunciation
The feast of the Annunciation is March 25 and the Fiat candle is perfect for spring.
Fresh notes of the strawberry plant symbolizes how Mary is both virgin and mother. And the strawberry scent is nuanced with notes of warm and earthy acacia wood, giving a nod to Mary’s special role as the new ark of the covenant.
Celebrating a Jubilee Year
Shower of Roses, inspired by St. Therese of Lisieux
This year is the 150th anniversary of Therese's birth! Her candle has refreshing scents of rain soaked leaves and rose blossoms.
Thereses's beautiful example reminds us to be childlike in our faith and to follow the “little way” to heaven.
