Our fragrances tell a story of their own: be it the floral romantic notes of Dublin Tea Rose, the crisp, dewy, fresh notes of Dublin Dawn to the subtle, & soothing notes of Oud in Dublin Dusk. Each of our candles give you an immense sensation of Ireland from our serene Gardens of Dublin to the rocky shores of the Wild Atlantic coastlines.
