St. Dymphna | Ylang Ylang + Jasmine + Vetiver
These peaceful scents of ylang ylang, jasmine, and vetiver are inspired by St. Dymphna.
Notes of chamomile, ylang ylang, galbanum, jasmine, myrrh, and vetiver.
Behind the Inspiration
Star-shaped ylang ylang and jasmine flowers have calming and happy scents, and vetiver is a grass with an earthy and grounding scent. These scents are all commonly used in aromatherapy to soothe anxiety, stress, and depression, and help improve one's mood. The pure white jasmine flower is also a traditional symbol of purity.
St. Dymphna, virgin and martyr, is the patron saint of those striving for purity as well as those suffering nervous and mental afflictions, and her prayers are frequently invoked by psychologists, psychiatrists, and family and friends of those with these afflictions. Her feast day is May 15.
O God, since Thou didst give St. Dymphna to Thy Church as a model of all virtues, especially holy purity, and willed that she shouldst seal her faith with her innocent blood and perform numerous miracles, grant that we who honor her as patroness of those afflicted with nervous and mental illness, may continue to enjoy her powerful intercession and protection and attain eternal life. Through Christ our Lord. Amen.
St. Dymphna, pray for us.
Holy Women collection | 45+ hour burn time | 6 oz. candle
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

I bought several CORDA candles as gifts and love the smell of each one! I will definitely order again!
I am absolutely blown away by how beautiful this scent is! It is truly Light in Darkness and I use it every morning for prayer. Don’t hesitate to grab this one!
I love the candles you sent.
I gave our parish priest one and he used it on his porch and said it was very fragrant.
That was the St Dymphna
and the Y'ang Y'ang I kept and it was very sweet. I'll continue ordering candles they remind me of the Catholic schools I
attended in my youth.
I ordered this candle for my daughter. She loves it!
Corda candles are awesome. They burn so cleanly and they are long lasting. I love that they are themed on Catholic saints. I love giving them as gift.

I haven’t burned this candle yet, But I just gave it as a gift to my daughter-in-law who had a severe postpartum complication that included severe anxiety..... A candle offers such peace and serenity, as well as encourages contemplation and prayer so I’m hoping that it will be a gift to her in this way.
I love your products and your website is beautiful.
This is probably the 5th or 6th candle I’ve purchased from Corda and I’ve loved every one. The St. Dymphna candle has a lovely delicate floral scent perfect for the end of winter (when you just want it to be spring already).
Beautiful scent. Love your products. Will help with my devotion to Saint Dymphna and during times of stress.
