Battle Cry
These celestial scents of spices, sandalwood, and incense are inspired by St. Michael the Archangel.
Nuanced with notes of bergamot, patchouli, light florals, and musk.
Behind the Inspiration
The scent of strong spices is a nod to the way Michael defends us in battle, while the soft sandalwood recalls his gentler role of accompanying the sick and dying. Notes of incense bring to mind the Mass, reminding us of heaven and Michael’s place as prince of the heavenly host.
St. Michael’s feast day, also known as Michaelmas, is September 29.
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 amazing, truly close to the inspiration of St. Michael.
This candle smells amazing! The scent goes through our home - I love it!
The candle was given as part of a wedding gift for St. Michael’s protection over their new family forming! They loved it.
This St. Michael inspired candle is the best I've ever had! (and this is my 3rd) Its incense and other scents permeate any room without overpowering your senses to lift up your soul. So grateful for this ministry at Corda and looking forward to getting many more of their candles.
I was given this candle for my birthday, and I was amazed that I didn't even have to burn it to experience the amazing scent. Once I started burning it, Battle Cry just mesmerized me. That scent of incense blended with the other fragrance notes just hit deep within and love to smell this candle. Liked it so much, I ordered another, and use it now when praying the St. Michael Chaplet. Job well done!
I'm not a big candle person, but I needed to purchase one for work. I was intrigued by the Catholic names as I, too, am Catholic. Let me tell you about my wonderful surprise. These candles have such a unique scent that it somehow transports you into a peaceful place! I don't know how Anna was able to create such wonderful scents that have a bit of holiness in them-- wait! Yes, I do! Clearly the Holy Spirit is working through Anna and her husband! I won't go anywhere else, not even B&BW! I have since only purchased my candles from CORDA both for work and personal. So far I have tried about five different scents and every one is a winner! Yes, certain ones are appropriate to set a mood but no matter which candle you burn, you will be impressed! If you're on the fence, for whatever reason, I encourage you to take a step in faith and purchase one. You won't be disappointed!
Battle Cry is one of my favorite scents! Thank you for your amazing candles! They are the very best gifts ever!!
"Battle Cry" was my first Corda candle...and it was a "second," although I'm not sure why. It certainly seems top quality to me. The scent is amazing and uplifting, the throw beats any of my 3-wick candles from other sources, filling the entire large family room and beyond. It burns cleanly and evenly. On top of that, the candle and the tealights were thoughtfully and carefully packaged with ice packs to help them survive the extreme summer heat. And they did! God bless you and your family!
I purchased this as a Father’s Day gift & he loved it. It smells wonderful, and is not overpowering.
Relaxing and lovely!
