I have ordered both the tea, light sampler, and the tea light favorites. I chose Corda for the thoughtfulness and care that goes into their fragrance combinations and candle production. I have been excited to have the opportunity to try multiple fragrances because of their sampler pack. I have already ordered a larger version of my favorite so far. I am excited to continue to try other combinations in the future. So far, this company has been great. The response and attention you get is quick and personal. I really enjoyed dealing with a family company rather than a large conglomerate. You feel like you’re dealing with a friend. I will certainly continue to order my candles from Corda!
My order arrived in a timely fashion and in good condition. The tealights are a perfect way to experience each aroma. They are clean burning and have a very natural base. I loved them all so it will be hard to decide which ones to bur- eventually I will buy them all, I am sure!
I ordered from Corda because it is a Catholic owned business with a distinctive Catholic mission.
The scents are sublime and the service absolutely exceptional!!!
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!
Poverello, inspired by St Francis of Assisi, makes a great gift for any namesake of this popular saint; it's clean burning, slightly scented with natural fragrances, inspiring one's love for nature as well as a reminder to embrace a spirit of poverty
I originally bought the tea candle samplers and Fount of Divine Mercy was I choose. I loved this scent and knew I needed to buy a big candle. The scent is clean, pure, and gentle.
Alpine Ascent has a lovely smell! With the recent canonization of Pier Giorgio Frassati, I bought the tea lights as a gift for my fellow Children's Faith Formation teachers. The candles are lovely and were well packaged. I love getting candles from Corda! I've bought Shower Of Roses many times and am excited to continue to support Anna's business.
I liked the scents of the candles. The candles were melted a bit and stuck to the plastic box. I was home when the delivery arrived, and immediately opened the package.
Hi Nicole, thank you for your order - it's great that you've been enjoying the scents! I'm so sorry, though, that there was some melting in transit. We want every order to arrive in perfect condition and I'll be following up via email to help with making things right. Thanks again! - Anna
Love the majority of your candles-I haven’t decided if I like this one or not. It kind of reminds me of “Endust”. Reminds me of my mom and when she used to dust the house.
Hi Roseanne, thanks for giving the Alpine Ascent candle a try! That's so interesting that it connects you to your mom and when she would be dusting - scent memories are fascinating. - Anna
I ordered a variety of amazing candles from CORDA and have not been disappointed by any of the amazing fragrances. I have chemical sensitivities and was afraid to try any candle in my house again … but none of the fragrances are overpowering and the fact that I can have them burning in my home and not get sick is a testament to their quality! 10/10 would recommend any product by CORDA!
I received an email from Abiding Together with a discount for this company's candles. It is such a great idea to have a small variety pack to be able to decide on which "flavor" is right for me.
My favorite so far is "Battle Cry", then "Gifts for a King" then "Fount of Mercy" and finally "Carpenter Shop" which is very faint. All are very very nice. We haven't tried "Light in Darkness" and "Fiat." We light one when we pray together in the morning and evenings.
Thank you so much for this ministry.
I actually burned it for the first time this afternoon when my mom and prayed the Chaplet of Divine Mercy. The name fits the fragrance. To me it reminds me of the ocean with calm waves. It’s beautiful!
I ordered for a friend because it has been one of my favorites! She was excited to receive it!
I decided to try a new candle for the feast of St. Francis of Assisi. I especially like to use these candles for my morning prayer. Poverello’s scent reminds me of earth, peace and simplicity. Corda candles are a blessing!
My candle order at Corda was absolutely perfect from beginning to end. I wish all the other purveyors with which I do business would provide such well done service and products. Anna and Michael do business and treat their customers just like the saints would do. Congratulations to you and your Staff.
I love that while I am praying the scent fills my space and adds a layer to my prayer time.
I received the Seasonal Tealight Sampler last year for Christmas after putting it on my Christmas list. My husband and I frequently burn the tealights when we are in our prayer chairs. I just purchased a set for him for Christmas because he said he loved our holy candles!
