These humble scents of cypress, stone, and earth are inspired by St. Francis of Assisi.

Nuanced with notes of moss, water, minerals, and patchouli.

Behind the Inspiration
This “little poor man,” as Francis called himself, joyfully gave up all he had to follow Christ, embracing a life of radical poverty. Cypress calls to mind the area around Assisi where he roamed, begging for stones to rebuild God’s church and preaching the peace of the Gospel, while earth recalls his humility and love of creation.

St. Francis’s feast day is October 4.

Each candle is handcrafted with CORDA's proprietary coconut wax blend, custom phthalate-free fragrances blended in-house, and a cotton and paper wick primed with all-natural wax. Learn more about the ingredients here.

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

Love this fragrance!

Poverello has to be my new favorite sent from Corda. I was pretty sure iI was going to like it since I am a huge fan of Saint Francis, but this fragrance takes me outside no matter where I am. The essence of this fragrance is truly delightful. I’m a nature girl at heart and I feel like I am truly bringing outside in. Thanks for this lovely new scent. It will become a number one gift for me to share with my friends.

I love Corda candles!

I love Corda candles! They are high quality, smell great, burn well, and the glasses clean up easily to repurpose. They make excellent gifts!

Very clean earthy scent

I haven’t found a CORDA candle that I don’t like yet. The Poverello is no exception to this. I find the scents to be very subtle but we burn them in a large area. I really appreciate how quickly Anna and her team can ship me the candles and I love that my money goes toward a small Catholic business. The products are packaged well , always smell wonderful and I haven’t had any issues with quality. It’s always exciting to see what new scents are introduced!!

A beautiful addition to prayer

I received my first candle as a gift. And now I am giving Corda candles as gifts. They smell amazing and are a beautiful addition to my prayer life.

Amazing scent!

I ordered the Poverello for myself and the women of my book club because we had just finished reading a biography of St. Francis. Packages from Corda always smell amazing as I unbox them, but this time I couldn’t wait to see which of my candles was giving off such a lovely smell! The Poverello scent is wonderfully reminiscent of a walk in the woods. I am so excited to share with my book club! Corda is my go-to place for candles now - inspired scents that fill the room without being cloying, easy and clean burning candles, and powerful connections to my faith.

I just lit my first Poverello candle, and it won’t be my last! It has a masculine, outdoorsy, woodsy scent that also feels a little medicinal.
I have really been enjoying this and other Corda candles. Other favorites of mine are Gifts for a King and Roses in Winter. Next year, I think I will buy a Holy Family set and donate it for our annual live auction fundraiser at our parish.

My New Favorite Scent

I love Corda Candles. They are clean and the scents are amazing. Poverello is my new favorite. If you are not a fan of flowery scents, this one is for you. It is earthy and a bit more masculine. I will be purchasing this again.

First Class Candles

The scent, the burn rate, the packaging, the service is all first class! I will continue to support CORDA and the great work they are doing.

Gift well received

This was a gift for my daughter who wanted an earthy scented candle. When I saw the description of Poverello I thought of her so I bought it! She liked the scent!

Great candle

Awesome scent, glass is gorgeous, great size candle, not too big or small, really good packaging
