CORDA

Let me give you a word picture and walk you through the experience of receiving your Corda Valor and Grace candle in the mail. The box is a bit heavy. Heavy cardboard. Sealed extremely well, I take the edge of my scissors to score the tape. The candle is packed extremely well with corrugated cardboard all around it ensuring that it arrives safely and in one piece. The scent of the candle hits my nose and my senses awaken. The excitement starts building as I want to light this candle immediately. First, my Valor and Grace Corda candle is in a beautiful box with a tight sleeve that not only tells me which saint it was inspired by, but also a scent description. On the back of the sleeve is a short explanation of who Saint Joan was, her feast day, and what inspired this particular candle. After sliding off the sleeve, you come to the actual opening of the candle box. If you thought the candle in the original mailing box was packed extremely well, you’re going to love how your Corda candle comes in its individual box! Upon opening the inner box, there’s another lid and cardboard all the way around the inside of the box, including the top. These boxes remind me of high-quality. My mind is trying to come up with another use for this beautiful box and we haven’t even lit the candle yet! St. Joan of Arc has a beautifully balanced scent of natural lavender and oak. Not overbearing. Natural. Clean. Quality. Not like cheap candles. The difference is noticeable. As the scent wonders and fills the house, the lavender relaxes you almost instantly. You feel your shoulders relax as you dive into prayer. I’ve never felt a candle relax me so much so as to help me focus on my prayers. Whether it’s the rosary, reading daily scripture, or just listening to Christian music.
I’ve been purchasing Corda candles for almost four years now and no matter what scent you choose, you will not be disappointed. I haven’t found one that I didn’t like. I find myself disappointed when they’re out of stock when I’m in the mood for a particular scent. Be sure to snip your wick before lighting so your candle lasts longer. (Read more about this on the website.) You are going to be amazed at how long they last! And when your candle is finished, pull out the wick holder and wash the glass to reuse it. Great for juice, water, candy, etc or even paper clips, thumb tacks on your desk. I have saved a set of eight and have been giving the rest away. I absolutely love that this is a small Catholic family owned business. So, what are you waiting for? Be transported with a Corda candle. Order yours today! You’re going to fall in love with them just like everyone else! 🥰

Wonderful scents that are strong but not overpowering. Set a peaceful environment for my apartment!

My husband and I are so incredibly impressed with your candles. Battle Cry is exactly how it was described on your website. We really like the fact that the candles are made by hand using the very best ingredients possible. We also like the fact that it is made by a catholic-based company, that we are supporting a good organization and it's all faith-based. We will definitely be buying more candles in the future and we are new customers that will continue to use your amazing candles in our home.

I love the Mystic Bliss candle! The scent is so relaxing. It’s like a peaceful fragrance.

These tea lights are my favorite! They burn just long enough to keep me focused while working from home. Sets the atmosphere to stay inspired and provides me the opportunity to try out more scents before committing to larger sized candle. The quality is so worth the cost!

I bought 2 candles as gifts. When they arrived, I immediately bought another! They are beautifully packaged and smell amazing!

I light a candle while having my morning prayer with my son. The scent of this set immediately creates a calming and peaceful environment. Favorite part of my morning🥹

This candle is almost botanical and fruity but with a decent of spice. The scent is pleasant and refreshing but at the same time complex.

I have purchased at least 8 different candles from Corda and have loved them all, but Battle Cry is my absolute favourite. The smell of incense truly transforms my prayer space and reminds me of both St. Michael’s intercession and our prayers rising to heaven like incense. I love that Corda uses non-toxic ingredients and are handmade by a Catholic couple!

I purchased these as a get-well gift.
My friend absolutely loved them and was looking forward to using them as she recovers at home.

I bought this to give as little tokens of my friendship with people. These are the only candles that I am able to burn in my house without having an allergic reaction; granted, I have not burned many flavors, but the ones I have burned are okay. They do remind me of the saints for whom they are named. I also love the glass containers for each tea light. What a nice touch.

I split up the tea lights and included them in a gift to my 2 friends. I also loved getting to choose which ones were in the Sampler. They are all so lovely. I love the concept behind this brand. The tea lights were good quality. The site and people have been easy to work with.

The scent was beautiful
