Heavenly smell

The best smelling candle and I know it’s made with non toxic ingredients.

Healing Peace
Jolene Carpenter
To one who needs healing

I sent Healing Peace to someone who was just diagnosed with cancer. I don’t know what the fragrance was like but she loved receiving it and the love it represents. I can only give it a “4” because she has cats and I didn’t realize essential oils are toxic to cats. She can see it, and smell it, she just can’t light it.
I’ll buy again, just probably can’t send to her.

"Seconds" were a First!

I jumped online right when the "seconds" went on sale. I have ordered from Corda for a while now and I have never been disappointed. The Restless Heart candle was a great fragrance and it arrived in great condition. I was very pleased with this order.

Love me some Lauds!

I am a Corda fan and will continue to support this small Catholic business. +JMJ

Best candles

I recently received Corda's Light in the Darkness candle. I have been enjoying the fresh, uplifting scent. How can a candle scent make me feel happy and encouraged? I'm not sure, but Corda does it. This candle was clearly noted as a second, but the flaw is so small I had to hunt to find a little bubble. I truly love these candles. I buy them regularly. Corda is the best!

Light in the Darkness

Very pleasant scent. Floral and light. For me it’s uplifting and I burn it during morning prayer.

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.

Sea Star Candle

I bought this as a gift for a friend. I wish I had bought two! All Corda candles smell amazing, but this was a soft, fresh, ocean smell - just beautiful! I almost kept it for myself, but did give it to my lucky friend in the end.

Summa

Best candle ever!

The Summa candle by Corda is a best loved candle in my family. I love to give Corda candles to my adult children for their homes and they always pick the Summa candle first. Best candle ever!! Corda has become my go to for all my candles.

rarely buy scented candles/accessories but splurged for online 3-day fundraiser

In 2024 my archdiocese grouped parishes into ParishFamilies, grouping mine w/2 churches in adjacent counties. To support a PrayerMinistry fundraiser of 1 of these out-of-town parishes…while also hoping to improve home prayer life & considering my spouse’s fondness of wood items; I bought 2 candles, 2 WalnutLids & 1 WickTrimmer. Besides looking good, WalnutLids cover the fragrant wax while providing a snug seal around the jar candle rims.👍 {my pix show:(a)candles w/random repurposed covers that are loose around jar candle rims (b)candles w/fitted WalnutLids} ’Blessed are the eyes that see what you see.’ [Luke10:23]✝️🙏🏼🕊️📶

Perfect

Love these candles. Clean burn, not too weak, not too strong. Just right. Appreciate the cold pack packaging.

Gifts for a King
Happy family
Soothing

Repeat buyer, here! I began buying Corda candles as a gift for our adult daughter, and like them so much, I have ordered for myself since, as has she. Gifts for a King is a favorite. Soothing, good throw lit or under a candle warming lamp, clean- there are no artificial scents or heavy fake smells, just a beautiful combination of natural, Biblical aromas. I light/ warm these during daily devotional and prayer time and evening winding down and prayer time. The scent lasts forever when using a warmer, and it has a long burn life lit, much more than well known large candle companies. We love supporting a family-run small business, especially one with a Godly business model, and they provide a wonderful product at a very fair price for the quality they produce!

Fire & Cloud

Another lovely burning scent that has become one of our favorites! We like to burn incense in our home in the mornings. The fragrance of Fire & Cloud captures this same essence while also providing the contemplative flame only a candle can offer. Thank you, Corda, for your quality craftsmanship!

Special place in my heart

Seeing your beautiful candles flicker in my prayer room, the scent helping me focus on the Father, the Son, the Holy Spirit, Mother Mary, and the Saints, is such a welcomed gift to my quiet prayer time. Thank you!

Beautiful fragrance

All of the candles give off a full lasting fragrance…..I just love Cordas candles.

Light in Darkness

I love Corda candles! The scent is light and calming which ties in so well with the saint the candle was inspired by (St. Dymphna, the patron saint of purity and those suffering nervous and mental afflictions).

Fire and Cloud

When I pray with this candle it helps me settle into the grace of growing in trust that the Lord Himself is gently guiding me and I can trust His voice.

Poverello

Deepened my prayer life

Poverello candle has helped deepen my prayer life. The earthy scent helps me visualize St. Francis, St. Anthony of Padua, and other Franciscans who shed material possessions and lived in nature to be closer to God. I recommend this candle if you wish to deepen your meditation and prayer life.

LOVE IT!

I love everything about every one of my CORDA candles! I often find I'm sensitive to lower quality fragrances, and I've never had any problems when a CORDA candle is burning, and I always get compliments on how lovely they smell! Fire and Cloud is no exception, and I can't even tell that it's one of the *seconds*. I'll be buying all my candles from CORDA!

Beautiful scent

Great scent. Loved it

The perfect gift!

These candles are more than beautiful. Light in the darkness is a perfect gift for someone going through a rough time. I love this candle company and the prayerful calm when you light one!
