Natural CLASSIC Cedar scented candle - Rathbornes 1488

Historical recipes combined with centuries of tradition in crafting luxury scented candles are the hallmark of the Rathbornes 1488 brand. We are delighted to present this extraordinary manufactory to you.

ATTENTION TO DETAIL

We strive to ensure each candle is of the highest quality. This means focusing on every detail so that the candles look, burn, and smell truly wonderful. It took us eighteen months to create our fragrances, with hundreds of hours spent on blending, pouring, and testing. This ensures the best balance of wax and fragrance distribution for each candle size, combined with the optimal thickness of various wicks chosen to provide the highest quality burn.

IRISH-MADE

Our candles have been made at our Dublin headquarters since 1488. They are still hand-poured, just as they were centuries ago, creating a correlation between tradition and modernity. We are committed to production in Ireland and maintain the status of the oldest brand in Ireland.

HONOURING PEOPLE

People are at the heart of what we do. Our aim is to maintain the highest ethical standards and honour our relationships with customers, wholesalers, and employees. Every aspect of our candles has a touch of luxury, from the special beeswax mixed 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 world's oldest candle-making brand. For centuries, we have pioneered new candle-making techniques at our factory in Dublin, and we continue to reside in this city. Our candles are woven into the fabric of Irish society, providing light for homes and streets for over 500 years.

BACKGROUND

It all began on Wynetavern Street, Dublin, where John G Rathborne established our manufactory. He moved from Chester, England, to start a new profession 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 ensured that Dublin and the Irish seas were and continue to be safe at night, as they were used to illuminate homes, streets, and lighthouses for residents and visitors from across the seas.

INNOVATION AND TRADITION

Throughout our 500 years of experience, we have developed our candles and the appropriate techniques and materials for our products. During the industrial revolution, we moved away from animal tallow to develop special new wax formulas using beeswax and stearin. This new blend provided a clean, slower burn while preserving our artisanal methods, such as handcrafting all our candles.

THE "BEYOND THE PALE" COLLECTION

To celebrate being the world's oldest candle-making company and five centuries of handcrafting, we created the Beyond the Pale collection, six beautiful fragrances that capture the spirit of Ireland with an exclusive and modern twist. The glow of candles is now more familiar in the home than on the streets, and this collection is the result of centuries of innovation. We drew inspiration from Dublin, saying: Beyond the Pale; the wild area beyond the safety of the city walls. We created scents inspired by Irish roses, herbal blends of mint and thyme, and the bark of Irish trees. We craft our luxury fragrances 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 adornment for homes, apartments, restaurants, spas, and hotels. 

The warming aroma of cloves is synonymous with luxury and comfort. Their spicy note gains depth with the scents of rosewood, orange peel, and eucalyptus. The composition, based on rich notes of cinnamon and amber, evokes autumnal, windy evenings spent in the safe comfort of home, near the enveloping warmth of a fireplace. 

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

Enclosed in elegant glass and packaged in a chic box, this candle will make a special gift for connoisseurs of beauty. 

The Cedar, Clove & Ambergris composition has been developed by Rathbornes perfumers for those who can appreciate sophisticated fragrances. 

The candle features two symmetrically placed wicks of ideal thickness for faster wax melting, making the scent more intense and pleasing to the senses for up to 40 hours. 

It is recommended that the wick is trimmed to a length of 10 mm and that any debris is removed before relighting the candle.
