Mystic Bliss
These soothing scents of mint, eucalyptus, and sage are inspired by St. Teresa of Avila.
Nuanced with notes of lemon and musk.
Behind the Inspiration
This Doctor of the Church’s profound writings on the interior life were born from decades of struggle with prayer as well as lifelong physical suffering. Peaceful and transportive, her candle’s scents call to mind her mysticism, and are also helpful for those suffering headaches, of whom Teresa is the patron saint.
St. Teresa’s feast day is October 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
The candles have an amazing scent and they last for over a week. I put them in my candle melting pot. I love them so much.
Today is the feast of St. Teresa of Avila and the first communion of a sweet, dear friend of mine. I gifted her this candle alongside a copy of the Interior Castle and I could tell it meant a lot to her. So grateful for the thoughtfulness of the people at Corda. 🙏🏻♥️
I bought this as a gift after having one in my home. It is a light, clean scent and perfect for just about any room in the home. I love all of Corda candles.
I absolutely love how Corda's candles smell! This is my second time ordering and it came extremely fast, packaged well, and I also asked when I should order to ensure that the gift arrived in time. I got a response within a couple hours each time I have ordered which is very comforting to know that they are on top of their orders.
I will continue ordering from CORDA and supporting local family owned businesses.
My friend informed me of your company, and I'm always hesitant to buy candles without smelling them. But this candle smells so so so good! I'm so glad I bought it.
Corda candles are beautifully inspired by natural smells that give glory to God. The hardest choice was picking which candle scents to buy.
Incredible aroma. I love candles and CORDA just become my favorite brand.
My introduction to Corda’s was from a fund raiser. I took a chance on a variety of scents. The clean and light aromas are very pleasing. The candles add a calming and relaxing effect in my prayer space.
I love the mystic bliss candle! It has a very calm smell. Shipping was fast-would definitely get a CORDA candle again!
This candle is so calming and peaceful during my prayer time. And what better way to dive deeper into contemplative prayer along with the great mystic and author of The Interior Castle than with St. Teresa of Avila 🩷
