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. 

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

    Excellent gifting option!

    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!

    This fragrance has a "clean" smell to it. I love the CORDA line of candles and use them daily throughout my home.

    Light in the Darkness Candle

    The Light in the Darkness candle is a very gentle, clean scent. I find it fits perfectly with my early morning prayer routine. I like to sit in my kitchen beside the windows with my Rosary, my St. Dymphna's beads and a cup of tea when the house and the outside world are still quiet. I like Light in the Darkness because it is not overpowering or distracting. It is not a loud scent. It is a comforting scent that compliments my morning prayers nicely. Thank you Anna for your dedication and talent.
