Light in Darkness
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.
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 purchased the Light in Darkness candle for my daughter as a gift for Confirmation. She chose St. Dymphna as her patron saint. The scent combination is fresh and calming! It’s perfect!
I bought this candle for my sister and it smells wonderful! I also bought a few others and loved them all! I love the special messages for each saint. They all make beautiful gifts!
Light in Darkness
Wonderful.
The scent is subtle and lovely. I gave this to my daughter for Christmas and she is very pleased with it. Its a good product.
I love the delicious fruity notes in this candle's scent! It reminds me of the tropical fruits and flowers my husband and I enjoyed when we visited Maui. I highly recommend this candle!
Beautiful but simple candle design, with a light delicate scent that is just enough. Lovely
I love the scent and the simple but beautiful design of the candle jar. It seems high quality and very well made. Thank you!
This candle is one of my favorites! Its uplifting scent is light and perfect for perking up my mood. I'm very scent sensitive, so I appreciate the level of fragrance in this candle. It's detectable, but not overpowering. Highly recommend!
I bought this as a gift after trying it out on my own with the tea light sampler. One of my favorite Corda scents. So uplifting!
