Restless Heart
These ardent scents of pear and fire are inspired by St. Augustine.
Nuanced with notes of amber, vetivert, musk, and cedarwood.
Behind the Inspiration
A passionate soul, Augustine is often depicted with a heart on fire. He spent many years wandering down false paths, including stealing pears with his friends simply to do what was wrong. But as God drew his restless heart, Augustine came to find the true good he had been seeking, and as theologian and bishop gave his life to sharing it with others.
St. Augustine’s feast day is August 28.
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 Restless Heart candle smells like fresh pears and adds a beautiful, spring-like smell to the air even without being burned. It inspires me when I remember that such a great as St. Augustine also struggled -- if he can overcome sin and become a Doctor of the Church, there's hope for everyone. I love CORDA candles!
These beautiful candles fill my home with peace.
I can’t believe how real this candle smells! It’s not like a fake fruity scent which is a problem with most candles of its kind. It’s very calming to burn this one. I love how it’s St. Augustine themed. I will spend all my “candle budget” on Corda from now on— I’m simply hooked! Everyone is a winner. They’re not only Catholic themed, they’re amazing quality.
I bought this one for my son whose Confirmation saint is St. Augustine. Like the other Corda candles I have purchased, it did not disappoint.
I adore these candles! I have them all over my house and give them as gifts to absolutely everyone!
I received my candles quickly and in perfect condition. The scents are all wonderful. Thank you!!
Soothing, Peaceful, Tranquil, these candles are above and beyond any I’ve ever used. They have an Essence, not a scent. They create Serenity!
This is the second time I've ordered Restless Heart, inspired by St.Augustine. It's a perfect blend of fruity and herbal - a pronounced but not overwhelming flavor. Would highly recommend!
What a lovely candle! I recently started reading Confessions and I feel so blessed to have the friendship of St. Augustine. This candle is perfect! Anna does an amazing job at blending all the scents, where they are all noticable yet not overpowering. I use this candle in my prayer space. Thank you, Anna!
The candle smells great and we are saving it for the holidays. My only criticism is that I thought the candle would have been a little larger for the amount of money that was spent on it.
Thanks for giving this candle a try, Edward, and we're so glad you like the scent! And we appreciate your feedback about the size - we know it can be hard to get a sense of that when purchasing online. With our special coconut wax blend, your 6 oz. candle will last for a good 45 hours or more! We like to say that our candles are 'small but mighty.' :o) Please don't hesitate to reach out with any other thoughts or concerns - we're here to help! - Anna and Michael
