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

Great New Scent!

I am a fan of Corda Candles and love the new Poverello candle. It’s fresh yet subtle.

Wonderful scent

I don't like all "earthy" scents, but this one is just fantastic! It might actually be my new favorite Corda scent. The woodsy smell is wonderful. I'll definitely purchase Poverello again.

Sweet scent

Honestly, I expected a scent that was not sweet. I get a very small scent of cypress, but more sweet, not musky like patchouli. I would have liked more savory, musky, stone, and cypress. I tend to like the more masculine scents without sweetness as the main scent. It is still a nice scent, not what I expected from description.
