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 bought this for my husband who loves Frassati but who is also picky about the kind of scents we have in our home. This was the perfect airy but masculine scent and my husband loves to light it at our meals. Such a lovely scent that smells like the beautidul outdoors!
I purchased Alpine Ascent as gift for a young adult friend who is a beautiful witness to the Faith as was our newest Saint Pier Giorgio Frassati. She was excited to receive the candle and was enjoying it immensely.
What can I say? Saint Pierre, Giorgio Frassati is awesome. Such a mentor for our college kids! Someone who embodies the True, the Good, and the Beautiful. Two of our kids who are blessed to go to Auburn University have the gift of a Saint Frassati Chapel at their school. The Catholic community is thriving there at Auburn and coming from the East Coast, we have been blown away at the Mass attendance. So, instead of purchasing a bunch of different scents it just made sense to order 6 of the Alpine Accents. They burn so clean and I was confident in the product I was ordering, since we have had these candles in the past and have been so pleased.

Thank you for your beautiful work!’
Great scent. Loved it
I absolutely love the candles that I received from Corda! They are beautiful and smell amazing. I am so excited to have Anna do the favors for my son's wedding this summer! What a beautiful way to add our beautiful Catholic Faith to the reception!

I love Bl. Pier Giorgio Frassati. I was fascinated by the description of the candle with the scent of pipe smoke. This one turned out to be my favorite. It’s a nice subtle scent. I love to start my morning by lighting this candle and doing my daily prayers. It’s the perfect way to begin my day.
Alpine Ascent is one of my CORDA favorites. It's aroma evokes warmth, earth elements and creates a sense of grounding. It is my go-to for late afternoons after a stressful day. Paired with a cup of tea--Alpine Ascent brings me back to my senses. It is a wonderful companion to late day meditation and prayer sessions when I want to "elevate" my thoughts from the mundane to the sacred. True to its name--Alpine Ascent harkens back to crisp mountain air and the warmth of pipe tobacco. This candle grounds, comforts and inspires.

My daughter listed the Compline and Alpine Ascent candles as suggestions for her birthday/Christmas wish list. When I read both descriptions, how could I pick so I purchased both. She loves them and these replaced the two she had used up. She uses them during prayer. Her brother expressed an interest in them, so I’ll return for a gift for him.
