These rugged scents of leather and sawdust are inspired by St. Joseph the Worker.

Nuanced with notes of amber, cedarwood, lavender, bergamot, rosewood, and mint.

Behind the Inspiration
This just man was a courageous and strong husband, with an obedient and humble heart. Through the work of his hands, Joseph provided for the Holy Family. Scents of leather and sawdust recall the shop where he worked, and where Jesus and Mary would have visited him.

St. Joseph the Worker’s feast day is May 1.

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

Best candles!

These candles are truly the best- they’ve turned me into a candle lady! Every scent is unique and I haven’t found one I don’t like yet. I’ve received compliments from guests who walk in and immediately say that our home smells so good. Love that. Also the fact that it’s a Catholic business makes my heart happy. ❤️

Carpenter Shop Candle

These candles are the best! I don't know what specifically is in the candle that makes it have a distinct smell but I can't find it anywhere else. The name of the candle makes me smile because Jesus was a carpenter and I'm happy to burn it!

Wonderful scents that exude peace!

I have several of CORDA's candles. All of them fill the room with calming scents that fill me with peace. I recently gave my son St. Joseph's Carpenter Shop (his middle name is Joseph), and he says it helps calm him after a stressful day. These candles are top quality, burn very clean, and they last a long time.

The fragrance of the St Joseph candle is pale in comparison to Lauds & Compline. We hardly notice scents of leather or sawdust.
