Fire & Cloud
These ethereal scents of embers, smoke, and amber are inspired by the Old Testament pillar of fire and cloud.
Nuanced with notes of sandalwood, incense, and musk.
Behind the Inspiration
As a concrete sign of his presence, a pillar of fire and cloud guides God's people through the wilderness, and overshadows the tabernacle where he meets Moses face to face. Fire and cloud appear also at Sinai when God reveals himself to Israel and makes his covenant with them. Fire manifests God's glory and burning love, while cloud symbolizes the hiddenness and mystery of the divine.

You’ll get the cleanest, longest, and safest burn from your candle with a few simple steps:
- Always trim the wick before lighting to 1/8”–1/4”
- Burn until the melted wax reaches edge to edge, or very nearly, to reduce tunneling
- Burn only up to 4 hours at a time
- Always keep a burning candle in sight, away from flammable materials, out of drafts, out of reach of pets and children, and on a heat-safe surface
- Keep out of direct sunlight
I am in a class covering the Old Testament historical books, and we are just finishing the book of Exodus. I bought this candle as a Christmas gift for my instructor, knowing it would be meaningful to her. I have purchased many many Corda candles over the years, and they never disappoint - they are wonderfully and meaningfully scented, long burning, and always lift my thoughts to spiritual realities. Thanks Anna!
It is a warm, subtle smell that is very smooth and relaxing. It leans a bit more masculine smelling with what reminds me of hints of vanilla but is very subtle and not overpowering. We do not like overly powerful smells or things that are too floral-like so this one was perfect for a warm, smooth aroma.
Wow!
Amber is my favorite scent ingredient, so when I saw this candle, beside the symbolism of the pillar of fire, ya got me!
Just what I expected: a wonderful subtle smokiness tempered with calming sandalwood and musk. Perfect!
I usually don't buy the same scented candle three times consecutively, but this one I did. The name of this candle might be a bit deceiving, but Fire & Cloud is quickly becoming my personal favorite. A sweet-smelling aroma of campfire with hints of musk. You'll love it!
I love this new fragrance, both for what it represents and the way it smells. First, the fragrance - it genuinely smells like the smoke from a fire, while not too potent or overwhelming. It is subtle, but very true to its name. Second, the inspiration behind this candle is powerful. And I equally appreciate, not only the description on the packaging and website, but also the additional blog entry that corresponded with it. I appreciated it all the more as I lit the candle having read the devotion and intention and, upon lighting, it helped set my heart and mind in the wilderness with Him remembering His faithful presence and kindness. Lastly, I gave one to a friend as a gift to light during his time in prayer and study and I printed out the blog and included it in the gift bag for him to read as well.
Thank you Michael and Anna for another meaningful gift! Bless you both!
Purchased the Fire & Smoke scent - seemed like just the right scent for my prayer space. Also purchased the tea lights to sample the other scents (and receive a free gift as an Abiding Together podcast listener!). They are all amazing, and I can’t wait to purchase and share with others!
I have been purchasing Corda candles for some time now for our office. We have tried quite a few of the different scents. We definitely have our favorites. Fire & Cloud is one of them. We work for the Diocese of Orlando and Fire & Cloud really does set the tone for Lent. It has familiar scents that you will smell in Church, mingled together with notes of sandalwood and musk. You can't help your senses as they transport you into a deeper prayer time! We are thankful to Corda for how they help us set the right tone for our time with the Lord!
Love! So leaning into its intentions especially Gods presence!
