5 Standout Rathbornes Pieces to Elevate Every Corner of Your Home

Founded in Dublin in 1488, Rathbornes 1488 is the world’s oldest candle company and a true icon of Irish craftsmanship. At Fina Tavola, we’ve curated a selection of Rathbornes candles and diffusers that bring depth, warmth and quiet luxury to any space. Below, we’re highlighting three unforgettable candles, one beautifully balanced reed diffuser, and a limited edition art collaboration you won’t want to miss.

1. Bitter Orange, Birch Tar & Balsam Scented Candle

For those who love a warm, citrus-woody glow, the Bitter Orange, Birch Tar & Balsam candle is a must-have. Bright top notes of bitter orange and citrus zest melt into black amber, birch tar, fir balsam and oak wood, creating a scent that’s both uplifting and quietly smoky.

This fragrance is perfect for cozy evenings, relaxed gatherings or simply unwinding at the end of the day. Whether you choose the travel, classic or statement four-wick size, it delivers a rich, comforting presence in any room.

2. Dublin Tea Rose, Oud & Patchouli Scented Candle

Romantic, sensuous and timeless, Dublin Tea Rose, Oud & Patchouli is inspired by Irish field roses and historic walled gardens. Juicy raspberry and citrus top notes gently fade into creamy rosebuds and vanilla, before settling into a luxurious base of oud, patchouli and amber resin.

This candle is ideal for bedrooms, dressing areas and intimate living spaces where you want a soft floral-woody atmosphere with a quietly dramatic finish.

3. Dublin Dusk Smoked Oud & Ozonic Accords Scented Candle

If your aesthetic leans modern and atmospheric, Dublin Dusk delivers. Inspired by Ireland’s rugged coastline at dusk, this scent blends cool ozonic accords with smoked oud and aged cedar, rounded by dark spices, patchouli and soft musk.

It’s a striking choice for contemporary interiors, living rooms and reading nooks—anywhere you want a moodier, more sculpted fragrance that still feels refined and wearable year-round.

4. Dublin Retreat Reed Diffuser – Musk, Black Ebony & Amber

For continuous, flame-free fragrance, the Dublin Retreat Reed Diffuser is a beautifully grounding option. Inspired by Dublin’s Phoenix Park, it layers musk at the core with violet leaves, nutmeg and cardamom, anchored by cedar wood, black ebony and amber.

The result is a warm woody scent with a gentle sweetness and soft masculine edge—perfect for entryways, offices, reading corners or any space where you want long-lasting calm and quiet sophistication. The oil-based formula offers up to 16 weeks of fragrance.

5. Rathbornes x Maser Limited Edition 3-Wick Scented Candle

For the collector, the Rathbornes x Maser Limited Edition 3-Wick Candle is where art and fragrance meet. This exclusive collaboration with Dublin-born artist Maser pairs Rathbornes’ heritage with bold, graphic design in a collectible glass vessel.

The scent is as striking as the artwork: dark plum and davana brightened with saffron, resting on smoked cedarwood, aged leather suede and amber. Inspired by time spent outdoors and storytelling around a campfire, it feels smoky, comforting and deeply atmospheric.

Made with 100% natural wax (beeswax, rapeseed and coconut) and three natural cotton wicks, it offers up to 80 hours of burn time—a true statement piece for the coffee table, console or mantel.
