Lauds
These invigorating scents of citrus, morning dew, and juniper berry are inspired by Lauds.
Nuanced with notes of grapefruit, mandarin, juniper berry, mango, and sugared mint.
Behind the Inspiration
All through the day and night, the Divine Office, also known as the Liturgy of the Hours, is prayed by religious, priests, and faithful around the world for the whole Church. Morning Prayer, or Lauds, is the first office prayed after rising for the day.
Fresh dew and juniper berry bring to mind a peaceful sunrise, while bright citrus is energizing for the day ahead.

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
It is my new favorite candle. Even if I’m not praying I think about God as I light it. I use it while I pray morning prayer. It’s a great inspiration!!
I bought my mother a CORDA candle for Mother’s Day and she liked it so much that she asked for another for her birthday!
I purchased the Lauds candle for my friend for her birthday. The scent of the Lauds candle is fantastic, crisp, bright and awakening. The box and sleeve the candle came in is top notch and perfect for gift giving. I received my order very quickly and was impressed with the care in which the candle was boxed. My friend absolutely loved her candle and couldn't wait to light it the next morning for her prayer time. Anna is very responsive and highly recommend her candles. Thank you!
I will definitely purchase this scent again! I love the way the scent lingers long after the candle is blown out.
This scent reminds me of summer. It is fresh, clean, and soothing. I like to burn it when it's cold outside to remind me that we will have summer again -- sort of like "praise for the morning, praise for the sun/son which will come again."
Great smell and perfect light of Christ for my daily lectio on the day’s gospel.
I bought several Lauds candles as Christmas gifts for friends, and I received comments from them later on how much they liked the candle. They commented how the candle puts forth a scent in their homes even when unlit. These women pray, so I knew they would greatly appreciate the candles. I too really like the Lauds scent, but I do want to buy other scents. A friend gave me the Lauds candle, and it really enhances prayer time! We hope your business and ministry flourishes for you are now my go to for candles for I appreciate the care you take to not use toxic ingredients. May God bless you all for what you do!
I got one candle for my friend and one for my mother for Christmas and they were so blessed by them! Beautiful aesthetic label and look on the outside of the candle, well-balanced fragrance when burned, and inspirational mission and focus of the company as a whole. Would definitely recommend!
I received a Lauds scented candle from my sister and enjoy it so much I bought one for my dear friend!
I get up at about 5:30 AM each morning, quietly making my way out of the bedroom so as not to wake my husband. I stop in the kitchen to make a cup of tea, then head to the living room to switch on the gas fireplace and light my Corda Lauds candle. I ordered it because the website said it was inspired by morning prayer….and once I’m comfortably seated, that’s what I do…begin Morning Prayer.
The candle’s aroma couldn’t be more perfect. It’s light and fresh and citrusy. Who could handle anything stronger at this time of the morning? Dare I say this has become my favorite part of the day?
But even if you’re not an early riser, I would recommend this particular scent for anybody who wants a light clean scent in their home. It may be my new favorite !!!!
