Our jar candle packaging now shares the story behind the inspiration! Learn morehere.
These peaceful scents of vetiver, ylang ylang, and jasmine are inspired by St. Dymphna.
Nuanced with notes of galbanum, chamomile, and myrrh.
Behind the Inspiration When Dymphna’s Christian mother died, her pagan father, the king, fell into mental illness and ordered Dymphna to marry him. Having taken a vow of virginity, she refused and was martyred. She is the patron saint of purity and those suffering nervous and mental afflictions, and her candle’s scents can help calm anxiety.
St. Dymphna’s feast day is May 15.

Surprised by Beauty
I find your essences so true to their Saint name. St. Dymphna desired a life in tranquil communion with God. Her beauty was admired and was treasured by others. She was a martyr who desired the love of God over all others. This essence is desirable yet totally innocent. It is beautiful in the most subtle ways of an aroma much admired. I was pleasantly surprised by its beauty.

I gifted this to a friend struggling with some major life events; she told me receiving it brought her to tears and "felt like an answer to prayer." So grateful to be able to provide meaningful gifts from a company like Corda!
