Carrière Frères Scented Candles

Founded in 1884, by two brothers, Carrière Frères is the keeper of wax craftsmanship from the XVIIIth century. At the dawn of the industrial revolution, the Carrière brothers revamped wax-making and pioneered the famous Carrière night-light, which burned for six hours with a constant beam and without smoke, and turned the indoor candles into an object of comfort and quality. Awarded a gold medal at the exposition Universelle of 1889, for the “Madeleine” candles, Carrière Frères has supplied them to the Basilique du Sacré Coeur ever since.

The Carrière brothers developed and modernized the manufacturing secrets they inherited from past wax masters. They selected the finest waxes and the most durable wicks, and brought them to the masses. Fascinated by Botanics, they strenuously sought out a formula, which does not produce smoke or unpleasant odours, and is easily blended with perfume.
