Lauds
These invigorating scents of citrus, morning dew, and juniper berry are inspired by Lauds.
Nuanced with notes of grapefruit, mandarin, juniper berry, mango, and sugared mint.
Behind the Inspiration
All through the day and night, the Divine Office, also known as the Liturgy of the Hours, is prayed by religious, priests, and faithful around the world for the whole Church. Morning Prayer, or Lauds, is the first office prayed after rising for the day.
Fresh dew and juniper berry bring to mind a peaceful sunrise, while bright citrus is energizing for the day ahead.

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
Lauds was the first scent I ordered from Corda and it is my favorite! I have tried many other scents and like them all, but this soft, lasting scent is my go to now. Every order I have received from Corda is packaged with the utmost care. I never have to be concerned about anything being broken during shipping, especially when I am sending a candle as a gift. I love that Corda is a Catholic business and they are now my source for all of my candles!
One of my top favorites....the scent is so clean and pure. I ordered the tea light just to try it and purchase the big candle at my first opportunity. Love this scent!
I loved the smell of the candles and was so excited that they were 100% natural.
This candle smelled lovely and a great gift for my husband for Christmas! We also purchased a sampler and will be picking out more scents soon!
I love your candles! My favorite is the lauds right now. It smells great and helps me keep my focus during morning prayer.
I received both Lauds and Compline candles as a gift and enjoyed them so much that I ordered some to give my sister. The scents are perfect and I love the added "smells and bells" to my prayer time - although could be burned at any time. Lauds is perfect for starting the day.
Love the candle and the company. Will definitely promote and support!
It is my new favorite candle. Even if I’m not praying I think about God as I light it. I use it while I pray morning prayer. It’s a great inspiration!!
I bought my mother a CORDA candle for Mother’s Day and she liked it so much that she asked for another for her birthday!
I purchased the Lauds candle for my friend for her birthday. The scent of the Lauds candle is fantastic, crisp, bright and awakening. The box and sleeve the candle came in is top notch and perfect for gift giving. I received my order very quickly and was impressed with the care in which the candle was boxed. My friend absolutely loved her candle and couldn't wait to light it the next morning for her prayer time. Anna is very responsive and highly recommend her candles. Thank you!
