These peaceful scents of vetiver, ylang ylang, and jasmine are inspired by St. Dymphna.

Nuanced with notes of galbanum, chamomile, and myrrh.

Behind the Inspiration
When Dymphna’s Christian mother died, her pagan father, the king, fell into mental illness and ordered Dymphna to marry him. Having taken a vow of virginity, she refused and was martyred. She is the patron saint of purity and those suffering nervous and mental afflictions, and her candle’s scents can help calm anxiety.

St. Dymphna’s feast day is May 15.

    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

    My favorite scent

    I received this Light In Darkness - St. Dymphna inspired candle as a gift and it certainly has lifted my spirits. My mental health had taken a rough hit recently, but with prayerful devotion, I can say things are certainly much better for me. Not saying that this candle was the direct cause, but lighting it during prayer and relaxation in my room, it definitely invokes a meditative sense of joy with the uplifting scent. It has honestly become my favorite Corda candle for that reason! Thank you so much Anna for sharing the gift of your Catholic business with us! Praying that through the intercession of St. Dymphna, any of you who may be reading this with mental health problems or contemplating suicide, that Christ will protect you and deliver you safely through this storm, and into an abundant state of consolation and healing :) Amen.

    Amazing smell!

    Light in the Darkness is one of my favorite Corda scents. It is calming and pleasant. It would be a really great gift for someone going through a life struggle, to encourage St. Dymphna's intercession.

    Light in Darkness Scent is Divine!

    I love this light scent—not heavily perfumey, just lovely. Such a blessing that there is a spiritual component to these being crafted with a prayer as this is a gift for a friend. Praying for perseverance to not keep it for myself!

    Perfect Gift!

    I purchased the Light in Darkness candle for my daughter as a gift for Confirmation. She chose St. Dymphna as her patron saint. The scent combination is fresh and calming! It’s perfect!
