As a way to continued to stay focused on prayer this lent, the lenten candle set help me do just that throughout my work day. I work from home so its a nice addition to always keep christ the center of my work day.
I burned the candle for 3 hours and I didn’t notice a significant scent and had to literally go up to the candle to smell anything. I think for the size, cost is too much and won’t be purchasing again.
The fragrance of the St Joseph candle is pale in comparison to Lauds & Compline. We hardly notice scents of leather or sawdust.
I feel so blessed to have found this company, their candles are amazing. I appreciate the time and thought put into each candle and every scent has been delightful. Anna was so amazing when the candle I sent to my cousin was returned by the post office. She immediately emailed me to find out the correct address and it was mailed back out promptly.
I bought the tea lights to give to friends of 50 plus years. We call ourselves “The St. Thérèse Prayer Group,” and they’ll love their candles!
I have given and been given CORDA candles and they never get old! They are beautifully wrapped and intentionally scented. They are perfect for a holy hour at home or to simply fill your home with the aroma of a beloved saint. I have a great love for Mary, Star of the Sea and the candle, Sea Star, envelopes her role as Mother of those lost and needing guidance well with its salty scent. I love it. The whole Marian set is amazing as it welcomes many of Mary's roles into my home through scent and helps me contemplate her motherhood in my life.
I love Corda Candles! I have bought various candles over the years and these burn the most evenly, last the longest, and smell the best without being too strong. I have purchased a variety of candles from Corda. I either go by the name or the scent. Fire and Cloud I chose for the name but the scent it so subtle and beautiful that it has become one of my favorites.
I purchased the set as a gift. I give these lovely candles to friends because of the quality, care in crafting and delivery and of course the lovely scents. We burn them to add more peace and beauty to our prayer and they never disappoint.
I really like this scent. It’s clean and sweet smelling. It’s perfect in a bathroom for a spa-like feeling. Fiat makes me relax after a gym workout.
I've ordered several candles over the last few years and they are first class! There's something about Corda candles, that when you open the box you sense the warmth and love that went into making them.
The tea light sampler is a fun way to try and enjoy various Corda scents. The tea lights burn clean and the scents provide welcomed aroma. The sampler is also great way to introduce others to Corda.
Recently heard about CORDA candles and thought they might be perfect for a friend's birthday gift! Arrived a day earlier than expected (on her actual birthday!) and she loves them!
Lauds was the first scent I ordered from Corda and it is my favorite! I have tried many other scents and like them all, but this soft, lasting scent is my go to now. Every order I have received from Corda is packaged with the utmost care. I never have to be concerned about anything being broken during shipping, especially when I am sending a candle as a gift. I love that Corda is a Catholic business and they are now my source for all of my candles!
I already loved their candles enough to order in bulk for my daughter's bridal shower. But Anna went above and beyond to make sure they were all individually wrapped for me and shipped in plenty of time. Our guests loved them; they helped make a special day even more memorable and meaningful!
I received the really lovely wick trimmer from Cordova. It works really well. It’s easy to handle and does a great job on my candle wick. It feels to me that everything they make is done with such love and great care. I’m new to using candles but their candles are all beautiful and their wick trimmer does such a great job. I’m so pleased I bought it. I highly recommend this company for all the care and love they put into all their products.
I'm not fond of super sweet scents, so I chose the Sweeter Than Wine candle because the combination of Cedar, Pomegranate and Apple sounded like it would be a good balance of smells. I haven't burned it yet, but when I opened it, I could tell it will become a favorite -- the sweetness is subtle, and it is a fresh scent to dissipate the gloominess of being cooped up this winter.
Received these candles for Christmas, and immediately bought two sampler sets. One for myself and one for my cousin. It's hard to pick a favorite! Beautiful scents, well made, and supporting a Catholic company, these are the only candles I ever want. My whole family has gone crazy for them!
We really enjoy Compline and have purchased it multiple times. The scent is relaxing and not overpowering. We would highly recommend it.
I started with one Corda candle from our local Abbey gift shop and fell in love. As someone with multiple allergies including soy, I have tried numerous coconut based candles. Corda candle have wonderful and lasting scents that I have not experienced in other non-soy-based candles. I love the combination with beeswax as well . But most importantly is the association of the scents and the candle names with our Catholic prayer life. I have since purchased candles as Christmas gifts and purchased more for myself from Corda. Thank you for your talent and God bless your business!
I haven’t found a CORDA candle that I don’t like yet. The Poverello is no exception to this. I find the scents to be very subtle but we burn them in a large area. I really appreciate how quickly Anna and her team can ship me the candles and I love that my money goes toward a small Catholic business. The products are packaged well , always smell wonderful and I haven’t had any issues with quality. It’s always exciting to see what new scents are introduced!!
