Scent Stories: The inspiration behind our Fragrances
Spring is nature’s vibrant moment—a season brimming with life, growth, and fragrance. At Rathbornes 1488, our candles and diffusers are deeply inspired by Ireland’s lush landscapes. Each fragrance we craft tells a unique story, encapsulating the essence of the Irish landscape, traditions, and flora.
Jasmine & Petitgrain – Botanical Bee Collection
Spring awakens beautifully with the uplifting combination of Jasmine and Petitgrain, a standout from our Botanical Bee Collection. Jasmine, known for its captivating, sweetly floral aroma, symbolises renewal and purity. When paired harmoniously with the crisp, slightly woody scent of Petitgrain (extracted from the leaves and twigs of the bitter orange tree), the result is a fragrance that perfectly embodies the freshness and vitality of spring.
This blend not only elevates your home's atmosphere but also contributes positively to your wellbeing—Petitgrain is renowned for its soothing effects, while Jasmine uplifts the spirit and eases anxiety.
White Pepper & Honeysuckle
The enchanting fragrance of White Pepper & Honeysuckle offers another layer of sensory delight. Honeysuckle is abundant throughout Ireland in spring, its sweet nectar scent evoking warmth, comfort, and nostalgia. Balanced beautifully with the mild spiciness of White Pepper, this candle creates a subtle yet sophisticated atmosphere—perfect for brightening your home during longer, lighter days.
Cedar, Cloves & Ambergris
Cedar, a deeply grounding fragrance, is derived from majestic evergreen trees symbolising strength and resilience. Combined with warming notes of cloves, traditionally cherished for their aromatic warmth, and the oceanic, nuanced depth of ambergris, this fragrance captures the very essence of Ireland’s coastal woodlands. Ideal for moments of reflection or to enrich evening gatherings, this candle encapsulates both the sturdiness of earth and the gentle mystery of the sea.
Crafting Botanical Harmony
Each Rathbornes fragrance is carefully curated to balance evocative botanical ingredients that resonate deeply with our Irish roots and modern lifestyles. Our candles are designed not only to scent your home but also to transform your space into a sanctuary of comfort, relaxation, and sensory pleasure.
Embrace spring by exploring and experiencing these aromatic stories, inviting the spirit and beauty of Ireland's natural world into your everyday moments.
