Lavender Dream Candle from The Irish Chandler - About The Irish Chandler

Nestled in between the epic landscapes of the Burren and the Cliffs of Moher, you won’t find a more beautifully scented workshop than that of the The Irish Chandler. 

After searching for a cleaner way to fragrance her home in the matchmaking town of Lisdoonvarna, Lisa, The Irish Chandler founder, decided to create her own scented candles. She spent a long time researching and looking for the best quality waxes and fragrances, then after months of testing and experimentation Lisa found the perfect combination of cotton core wicks and soy wax (unfortunately there isn’t a good climate in Ireland to grow soybeans but the wax is supplied by an Irish based distributor). These two simple components combined with the finest quality fragrance oils produces longer burning, clean scented candles that are safe to use around children and pets in any home or workplace. 

It is the outstanding backdrop of the Wild Atlantic Way and the local surroundings that provide the inspiration for a unique range of fragrances that can literally transform any room into a sanctuary or take you to a place where memories and meaningful moments are evoked. To date the best seller is the ‘Atlantic’ candle, a fresh fragrance of sea salt and driftwood with pops of citrus and wood sage. Each season a limited collection of scents are available including the very popular Winter Collection which sells out very quickly, year after year.

Since 2017 The Irish Chandler has steadily grown into a recognisable brand that now produces hundreds of candles each week. Although new equipment has been introduced to cope with demand, everything is still handmade in Lisdoonvarna with each candle being lovingly hand poured and labels designed in-house are printed and carefully attached to the jars by hand.
