These amorous scents of cedar, pomegranate, and apple are inspired by the Song of Songs.
Nuanced with notes of clove, florals, balsam, patchouli, and musk.
Behind the Inspiration
Also know as the Canticle of Canticles and the Song of Solomon, this love poem at the heart of the Bible shows us the heart of God, who pursues us as a lover and Bridegroom. And the Catechism of the Catholic Church tells us that "Tradition has always seen in the Song of Solomon a unique expression of human love, a pure reflection of God's love--a love 'strong as death' that 'many waters cannot quench'" (1609).
Cedar is present throughout the Song, with both the bride and groom perfumed with it. Pomegranate references the bride, with apple connected to the bridegroom. And the scents remind us of the holy temple and God's espousal of his people Israel.
In the writings of the Church Fathers and the saints, the Song of Songs is one of the most commented upon books. St. Thesese, for example, wrote: "If I had time, I would like to comment on the Song of Songs. I have discovered in this book such profound things about the union of the soul with her beloved."
While on their deathbeds, St. Thomas Aquinas and St. John of the Cross both requested that the Song of Songs be read. Pope St. John Paul II meditated upon it whilst writing his Theology of the Body, and St. Teresa of Avila wrote an entire commentary on it.
A great starting point to learn more about the Song of Songs is in Dr. Brant Pitre's Jesus the Bridegroom: The Greatest Love Story Ever Told.

Each candle is handcrafted with CORDA's proprietary coconut wax blend, custom phthalate-free fragrances blended in-house, and a cotton and paper wick primed with all-natural wax. Learn more about the ingredients here.
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

Matt Swingendorf Bought as a fundraiser for our daughter to go to World Youth Day via Marian University in Indianapolis. Had never heard of brand, but love them enough to come back even with no fundraising.

Mary I absolutely love the smell of the "Sweeter Than Wine" candle. My daughter and I who lives in New York and me in Texas did an unboxing over the phone and I told her how wonderful this candle smelled. She has a nightly ritual with one of your candles that brings calm and peace to her day. I love ALL of your candles. I have never been disappointed. I also love the "Gifts For A King" candle. It reminds me of the inside of a church.
Thank you, Anna.

Lucy I ordered this for a bridal shower present and was tempted to keep it for myself (it smelled that good)! The scent was fragrant without being overpowering. It was really refreshing and a definite mood booster. If you are looking for a fresh aroma, this is a great choice!!

Debra Schaff I love the Corda candles. They burn evenly and the scents are so different. This “Sweeter than mine” scent is very subtle and soothing and leaves the room smelling of apples. Thank you, Anna.
