Poverello
These humble scents of cypress, stone, and earth are inspired by St. Francis of Assisi.
Nuanced with notes of moss, water, minerals, and patchouli.
Behind the Inspiration
This “little poor man,” as Francis called himself, joyfully gave up all he had to follow Christ, embracing a life of radical poverty. Cypress calls to mind the area around Assisi where he roamed, begging for stones to rebuild God’s church and preaching the peace of the Gospel, while earth recalls his humility and love of creation.
St. Francis’s feast day is October 4.
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 Poverello candle has a wonderful, subtle scent. I always enjoy Corda Candles and their customer service is second to none!
I am drawn to the presentation of things and the new packaging is complimentary to the product, high end & thought provoking.
A lovely new scent that reminds me of a recent visit to Assisi.
I have almost each one of Corda's candles and I love them all! My newest favorite is the Poverello (St. Francis of Assissi).
ANNA HAS DONE IT AGAIN WITH AN AMAZING EARTHY AND LOVELY CYPRESS FRAGRANCE IN THE NEW "POVERELLO" CANDLE. ST. FRANCIS IS A SPECIAL HERO IN OUR FAMILY AND NOW WE CAN IMAGINE OURSELVES TRANSPORTED TO HIS SMALL VILLAGE IN ITALY AS WE ENJOY OUR LIVING ROOM FIRE OR EARLY MORNING ROSARY.
I am a fan of Corda Candles and love the new Poverello candle. It’s fresh yet subtle.
I don't like all "earthy" scents, but this one is just fantastic! It might actually be my new favorite Corda scent. The woodsy smell is wonderful. I'll definitely purchase Poverello again.

Honestly, I expected a scent that was not sweet. I get a very small scent of cypress, but more sweet, not musky like patchouli. I would have liked more savory, musky, stone, and cypress. I tend to like the more masculine scents without sweetness as the main scent. It is still a nice scent, not what I expected from description.
