These scholastic scents of books, ink, and straw are inspired by St. Thomas Aquinas.
 
Nuanced with notes of dark musk, teakwood, vetiver, cade, and cedarwood.

Behind the Inspiration
Through his prodigious theological works and beautiful Eucharistic hymns, Thomas teaches clearly the truth of God. But after being given a vision of Christ near the end of his life, this Doctor of the Church found he could write no more, saying that all of his works seemed like straw compared to the glory he had seen.

St. Thomas’s feast day is January 28.
 

Jar candle: 6 oz with a 45 hour burn time | Tealight sampler: 3 oz total with a 18 hour burn time

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

Perfect gift for priests!

Our dear priests can be hard to shop for, and this was the perfect gift to add as a special thank you for our their help with a Women's Retreat! St. Thomas Aquinas is an inspiration to many, and the scent is beautiful!

A heavenly, delicate scent inspiring prayer

Summa was one of four candles ever purchased after discovering Corda. With such a glorious variety I simply “guessed” what I might like then ordered online. I’m SO pleased with each…but the Summa stood out as a favorite with such a heavenly, delicate scent! Most inspiring for prayer!
