White Pepper&Honeysuckle fragrance diffuser - Rathbornes 1488

Ancient recipes combined with centuries of tradition in crafting elegant 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 wonderful, are truly exceptional. 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, along with the optimal thickness of various wicks selected to ensure the highest quality burn.

IRISH-MADE

Our candles have been produced at our Dublin headquarters since 1488. They are still hand-poured as they were 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 a special beeswax blended with our traditional mineral wax. We work diligently on the details so that all you need to do is light the wick and enjoy the fragrance.

We are the oldest candle brand in the world. For centuries, we have pioneered new candle manufacturing techniques at our factory in Dublin, and we still reside in this city. Our candles are woven into Irish community life, 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, as they were used to light homes, streets, and lighthouses for residents and visitors from across the ocean.

INNOVATION AND TRADITION

With over 500 years of experience, we develop our candles along with the appropriate techniques and materials. During the industrial revolution, we moved away from animal tallow to create new wax formulas using beeswax and stearins. This new blend provided cleaner, slower burning while maintaining our artisanal methods, such as handcrafting all our candles.

“BEYOND THE PALE” COLLECTION

To celebrate being the oldest candle-making company in the world and five centuries of handcrafted production, we created the Beyond the Pale collection—six beautiful fragrances that embody 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 combinations of mint and thyme, and Irish tree bark. Our luxurious fragrances are designed to complement your home and indulge the senses, creating a range of desirable and stylish accessories for modern living.

EXPERIENCE UNFORGETTABLE SCENTS

Rathbornes diffuser, inspired by Irish fragrances, evokes the image of a hedge lined with blooming flowers.

This scent is a true rhapsody of delicate floral aromas. Enchanting notes of lily, honeysuckle, and jasmine with a subtle hint of peach and lemon on a soothing base of vetiver, white woods, and a cedar oil-rich base create an extraordinary composition that will serve as an invisible decoration in any interior.

Vetiver essential oils soothe and calm, and their intoxicating scent pairs perfectly with the gentle sweetness of honeysuckle flowers.

Package size: length 9 cm; width 9 cm; height 25 cm. Capacity: 200ml.

Fragrance lasts up to 16 weeks.
