Light in Darkness
These peaceful scents of jasmine, ylang ylang, and vetiver are inspired by St. Dymphna.
Nuanced with notes of galbanum, chamomile, and myrrh.
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.

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
The scent is subtle and lovely. I gave this to my daughter for Christmas and she is very pleased with it. Its a good product.
I love the delicious fruity notes in this candle's scent! It reminds me of the tropical fruits and flowers my husband and I enjoyed when we visited Maui. I highly recommend this candle!
Beautiful but simple candle design, with a light delicate scent that is just enough. Lovely
I love the scent and the simple but beautiful design of the candle jar. It seems high quality and very well made. Thank you!
This candle is one of my favorites! Its uplifting scent is light and perfect for perking up my mood. I'm very scent sensitive, so I appreciate the level of fragrance in this candle. It's detectable, but not overpowering. Highly recommend!
I bought this as a gift after trying it out on my own with the tea light sampler. One of my favorite Corda scents. So uplifting!
Gave this to a friend for her bday and she loved it!
We have made this candle part of our night time routine as the essential oils in it promote calmness. I love it
Anna they're great!! I can't wait for our customers to experience the beautiful smell and smart packaging.
I'll let you know once the store is open in October with the feedback we get,
I'm certain there will be a re-order:-)
My wife enjoyed the St. Dymphna candle. It's a light, refreshing scent that reminded her of champagne. The wax has a nice consistency, too. I bought myself the Bl. Pier Giorgio Frassati Alpine Ascent candle, which is a good masculine scent for refreshing workspace.
