Sweeter than Wine
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
This love poem at the heart of the Bible reveals to us the heart of God, who pursues us as lover and bridegroom. Here the nuptial love between man and woman becomes an image of God’s own love for the world.
In the poetic imagery of the Song, pomegranate refers to the bride, apple to the groom, and cedar to both.

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

Nice scent, although it is very subtle. Great when a faint scent is wanted. Rich with subtle smell.
This scent is crisp and comforting. Great products and a great way to support small, Catholic businesses.
I really enjoy Sweeter than Wine- it is one of my favorite CORDA candle scents.
I initially ordered a tea light variety pack as a gift. I loved the light, fruity smell of the Sweeter than Wine candle! I purchased a larger candle for myself and the fragrant fruit scents lightens any dark moods I might have.
I ordered Sweeter than Wine for a dear friend during a time of transition and discernment. She was so touched and later told me how much she loved having this reminder of comfort and light during this time of growth and change. Thank you Corda for all you do!
We've been purchasing candles from Corda for over a year now, and we love them! As wedding planners, the Sweeter than Wine candle is perfect for our new and prospective clients, but on a personal note, I have a fondness for Marked by Love and Lauds. With so many health concerns these days, it's so nice to find a Catholic-inspired, natural coconut wax candles made with essential oils, instead of worrying about any issues with soy or paraffin waxes and strong chemical perfumes. Can't wait to see what new scents are on the horizon for the coming years.
I received this candle as a gift right before my wedding. I love the scent & the thought behind the Song of Songs/Wedding at Cana connection. I loved lighting it in the fall when the fresh apple scent made our home feel so cozy. It makes our living room smell so nice & fresh even when it’s not lit. I will definitely be purchasing again!
This was my first order from Corda. The scent is beautiful and even. The burn is long lasting as well. It’s definitely a quality product.
