*Seconds* Mystic Bliss
These soothing scents of mint, eucalyptus, and sage are inspired by St. Teresa of Avila.
Nuanced with notes of lemon and musk.
Behind the Inspiration
This Doctor of the Church’s profound writings on the interior life were born from decades of struggle with prayer as well as lifelong physical suffering. Peaceful and transportive, her candle’s scents call to mind her mysticism, and are also helpful for those suffering headaches, of whom Teresa is the patron saint.
St. Teresa’s feast day is October 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
I love Corda candles and when some scents that I have been wanting to try were available as "seconds" I jumped on the opportunity to purchase! Mystic Bliss is the perfect fresh, clean scent and I love having it burn in my kitchen throughout the day.
This was my first time purchasing a seconds candle and I have zero complaints. In fact, the seconds candle was just as good as the regular full priced candle. Thanks for selling the seconds!
This candle smells so good and I can't wait until October when I light it. Why October? Because October is when we celebrate the Saint for whom the candle was inspired, St. Teresa of Avila. I try to match candles with saints in the month we celebrate. In the meantime, Star of the Sea, is burning for summer. Our Lady, pray for us!
This candle smells amazing
I have enjoyed every single scent that CORDA makes. But I guess it’s like one’s choice of perfume: some aromas just bring joy and beauty straight to one’s heart through the olfactory sense. Maybe I am just partial to mint, eucalyptus, and sage, since I love to grow herbs in my garden. Or maybe St. Teresa of Avila is interceding for me. Either way, Mystic Bliss is a candle that I will continue to reorder, gift, and enjoy!
This scent works for every season, fresh and invigorating!
I love St Teresa of Avila and being a member of Apostoli Viae and deep in the Carmelite tradition, I gravitate to all the contemplative saints and their fragrance. I love all the scents from Corda! and when the chance to enjoy them and save money comes with Seconds- it's a gift from heaven!
No sign of imperfection. Enjoying these beautiful candles during my prayer time.
