Subtle Scents

All of the candles I have used are very subtle. I find that the fragrances are not overpowering. My favorite is Laude.

Classic & Clean Scent

I love Corda candles and when some scents that I have been wanting to try were available as "seconds" I jumped on the opportunity to purchase! Mystic Bliss is the perfect fresh, clean scent and I love having it burn in my kitchen throughout the day.

Seconds candles just as good as regular candles!

This was my first time purchasing a seconds candle and I have zero complaints. In fact, the seconds candle was just as good as the regular full priced candle. Thanks for selling the seconds!

It’s my fault , I should have read the description more thoroughly before ordering . I bought the candle as a gift for a friend named Theresa. St Theresa was not mentioned on the box. It was a total waste of my money . I did not need the candle . I had to keep it for myself and could not use it as intended for a gift . I never get a bargain!

Really? This was ‘seconds’? A small air bubble on side of candle - I had to look hard for … is a second? Truly a beautiful candle, hard to believe it was a ‘second’!!!!
My husband and I enjoy this scent the best - we light for night prayers. I tried the sampler… we just have a favorite - Compline - try it!

Waiting for October

This candle smells so good and I can't wait until October when I light it. Why October? Because October is when we celebrate the Saint for whom the candle was inspired, St. Teresa of Avila. I try to match candles with saints in the month we celebrate. In the meantime, Star of the Sea, is burning for summer. Our Lady, pray for us!

They say they are seconds, but they are firsts in my book

I love the scents of Corda candles and I honestly can’t tell what makes a second candle imperfect. Their candles are special, even their seconds.

Great gifts!

I ordered my favorites along with Compline which was new to me. I loved them all but ended up giving them all as gifts! I loved gifting these to people who will love the quality of the candle as well as the special meaning associated with each scent. I could not tell they were 'seconds'. Thank you for continuiing to produce your lovely products!

Seconds do the job!

For a “seconds” wick trimmer, this tool does the job well. With the new wicks on my new seconds candle, I need to hold the wick quite taut for the cut to be clean but for my used candles, the trimming tool does very well. Thank you for letting us purchase your seconds. God bless.

Restless Heart for This Restless Heart

I chose this scent for its title. I love burning this one in my kitchen. St. Augustine prayer for us.

Imperfections are a blessing!

I LOVE the Seconds sale each year. I’m eager to see what “didn’t make the cut” on quality standards - because so far, the “imperfections” are so miniscule, it’s worth it to stock up for myself and save the “perfects” for gifts. There is so much waste in our world - I appreciate the opportunity to be a good steward of resources and overall it’s a win/win for us both! CORDA still prospers and I still enjoy the candles!

I cannot say enough positive things about our experience with Corda candles. Incredible scents, beautiful artisanship, and a mission worth supporting. You will never regret buying their candles!
