St. Teresa of Avila | Mint + Eucalyptus + Sage
These soothing scents of mint, eucalyptus, and sage are inspired by St. Teresa of Avila, a mystic and a Doctor of the Church.
Notes of spearmint, lemon, eucalyptus, and white sage.
Behind the Inspiration
The Spanish reformer of the Carmelite order, St. Teresa of Avila experienced great physical suffering throughout her life, including being so ill as a child that when she came out of a coma, a grave had already been dug for her. She credits her recovery from the coma to the intercession of St. Joseph, for whom she later named her first convent.
The peaceful and transportive fragrance of St. Teresa's candle calls to mind her profound mystical writings and interior life. And the notes of mint, eucalyptus, and sage reference Teresa's own illnesses and her patronage of headache sufferers, as these scents are commonly used in aromatherapy to soothe and treat headaches.
She is the patron saint of headache sufferers, the sick, those who have suffered the loss of a parent, writers, and Spain. Her feast day is October 15.
St. Teresa of Avila, pray for us.
Holy Women collection | 45+ hour burn time | 6 oz. candle
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 purchased three candles and the adorable matchstick holder! My daughter had gone to World Youth Day in Spain and loved Avila. Thankfully she's enjoying St. Teresa's candle as well. We will definitely be repeat customers and will be using for Christmas gifts too:)
I purchased the St. Teresa of Avila and St. Elizabeth of the cross candles for my mom and she absolutely loved them. She loved the idea of using these candles for her prayer time. Thank you Corda!
The gentle scent of mint, eucalyptus and sage is perfect burning in my office especially when my asthma and allergies are acting up. It soothes my spirit and my symptoms.
I loved the candles and so did my adult kids
Couldn’t be more pleased with the candles I ordered. They are high quality and have lovely scents. The added bonus is that they have a connection to a saint making them a meditative aid to prayer. My mother just passed and it was very difficult for my siblings and I. I ordered 3 candles, 1 for me- st Theresa of Avila who is special to me, and 2 st Elizabeth of the trinity who is the patron saint of those who lost a parent.
I was a first time buyer, entitled to a discount, and somehow I messed up the order and only ordered 1 for my sisters. I contacted Anna and she not only filled the order quickly, but applied the discount too!
Excellent service and excellent quality!
This candle is the perfect blend. Will definitely be buying more!
I have enjoyed this candle. It is not overpowering, very calming. The sage and eucalyptus provide a understated scent that helps me relax.
St. Teresa of Avila | Mint + Eucalyptus + Sage
The mint, eucalyptus, and sage in ‘Mystic Bliss’ is one of my top favorite CORDA scents ever! It’s calming, peaceful, and a scent for any time of year.
I gave it as a gift to a friend. She prayed the rosary while the candle was lit. I am so happy it brought her peace. Thank you!
We are so happy that the candle blessed your friend, Cynthia! Thanks for gifting CORDA and for the review! - the CORDA team
