Natural CLASSIC Cassis Leaves scented candle - Rathbornes 1488

Historical recipes combined with centuries of tradition in the production of luxurious scented candles are the hallmark of Rathbornes 1488. We are pleased to present this extraordinary manufactory to you.

ATTENTION TO DETAIL

We strive to ensure that each candle is of the highest quality. This means focusing on every detail so that the candles, which look, burn, and smell, are truly wonderful. Developing our fragrances took eighteen months, with hundreds of hours dedicated to blending, pouring, and testing. All to achieve the perfect balance of wax and scent distribution for each candle size, combined with the optimal thickness of various wicks selected to ensure the highest quality burn.

IRISH-MADE

Our candles have been crafted at our Dublin headquarters since 1488. They are still hand-poured today, just as centuries ago, blending tradition with modernity. We are committed to manufacturing in Ireland and maintain the status of the oldest company in Ireland.

HONORING PEOPLE

People are at the heart of everything we do. Our goal is to uphold the highest ethical standards and honor our relationships with customers, wholesalers, and employees. Every aspect of our candles carries a touch of luxury, from the special beeswax blended with our traditional mineral wax. We work hard on the details so that all you need to do is light the wick and enjoy the fragrance.

We are the oldest candle-making company in the world. For centuries, we have pioneered new candle production techniques at our factory in Dublin, and we still reside in this city. Our candles are woven into Irish communities, providing light for homes and streets for over 500 years.

BACKGROUND

It all began on Wynetavern Street, Dublin, where John G Rathborne founded our manufactory. He moved from Chester in England to start a new career in candle making. Candles have been an integral part of people's lives since the 1530s. Joseph’s candles became a key supplier for the city. Our products made Dublin and the Irish seas safe at night, used to light homes, streets, and lighthouses for residents and visitors from across the ocean.

INNOVATION AND TRADITION

Throughout our 500-year history, we have developed our candles along with the appropriate techniques and materials. During the industrial revolution, we moved away from animal tallow to develop new wax formulas using beeswax and stearic acid. This new blend ensured a cleaner, slower burn while maintaining our artisanal methods, such as handcrafting all our candles.

COLLECTION “BEYOND THE PALE”

To celebrate being the oldest candle company in the world and five centuries of handcrafted production, we created the Beyond the Pale collection, six beautiful fragrances that capture the spirit of Ireland with an exclusive and modern touch. The glow of candles is now more familiar in homes than on streets, and this collection is the result of centuries of innovation. Inspired by Dublin, the phrase “Beyond the Pale” refers to the wild area outside the safety of city walls. We crafted scents inspired by Irish roses, herbal blends of mint and thyme, and Irish tree bark. Our luxury fragrances are designed to complement the home and indulge the senses, creating a range of desirable and stylish accessories for modern living.

EXCLUSIVE BEESWAX CANDLE

This exceptional candle serves as a luxurious yet discreet decoration for homes, apartments, restaurants, spas, and hotels.

In this vibrant blend, the scent of Irish blackcurrant leaves is complemented by optimistic jasmine. Spicy clove adds vitality to the composition, while the base features scents of Irish forests—sun-dried green moss and wild heather. This richly intense composition is a true ode to life!

The combination of genuine beeswax and natural essential oils signifies the highest quality. The unique blend of fragrance notes will become an invisible yet highly distinctive signature of the space where the candle is placed.

The Cassis Leaves and Jasmine composition was developed by Rathbornes perfumers for those who can appreciate refined fragrances. 

The candle features two symmetrically placed wicks of perfect thickness for faster wax melting, resulting in a more intense scent that delights the senses for up to 40 hours. 

It is recommended to trim the wick to 10 mm and remove any impurities before each lighting.
