The scented candle collection, developed in collaboration with the National Museum of Natural History in Paris, is now complemented by a new fragrance: Frangipani or Plumeria, a scientific name that honours the French botanist Charles Plumier (1646–1704).
Commonly known as frangipani, the fragrant tree is named after the Italian Marquis Frangipani, who created a perfume in the 16th century that closely resembled frangipani. Originally from Central America, the frangipani tree is an ornamental shrub with white, yellow or pink fragrant flowers that is very common in the tropics.
Fragrance
The fresh top note of bergamot gives way to a beautiful accord of white flowers and vanilla, evoking the warmth of the tropics.
Refill pack for scented candles
In line with its commitment to sustainability, Carrière Frères is launching an innovative and revolutionary refill pack for scented candles. This visionary initiative is a milestone in a market where packaging plays a key role.
A unique, 100% compostable container. Carrière Frères has dispensed with cardboard and opted for an innovative solution made from biodegradable material: the new outer packaging is made from compostable and recyclable plant-based raw materials and contains 100% plant-based fragrance wax from European organic rapeseed.
A proven standard of quality
With this innovation, Carrière Frères invites every customer to keep the original glass jar and reuse it as they wish. The refill contains 185 g of wax, which is poured in a workshop in Normandy and has the same wax quality and traditional manufacturing process as every classic candle.
Notes
1. The refill wax should never be used in the packaging.
2. The glass container of your Carrière Frères scented candle should be cleaned before inserting the refill. To do this, place the glass container in the freezer for a few hours to ensure that any wax residue can be easily removed. The glass can also be wiped with a damp cloth and soap.
3. The wick and metal wick tab should be removed.
4. Once the container has been cleaned, the refill can be removed from its packaging.
5. The refill can now be inserted into the glass container.
6. The candle should ideally burn until the entire surface has liquefied. Allow the wax to solidify again before relighting.
7. Please always trim the wick to 0.6 cm to prevent sooting.
Burn time: 40 to 45 hours
