Carrière Frères Candles have a long and established pedigree. The company that now makes Carrière Frères Candles was first started in the nineteenth century but was based on candle craftsmanship dating back a hundred years. Two brothers founded the company that now makes Carrière Frères Candles after perfecting wax making and candle-making The brothers created a first night-light candle, one that burned six hours without soot, smoke, and other basic discomforts. By 1889, the brothers were given a gold medal for their candles at the Exposition Universelle. Since that year, Carrière Frères Candles have been granted to the the Basilique du Sacré Coeur up to present day. The basilica and its protectors believe that the Carrière Frères Candles provide the high quality that the historic monument deserves.
Today, Carrière Frères Candles are made on a premise of modern innovation and traditions. While the tradition of fine waxes and fine old-world craftsmanship lives one, Carrière Frères Candles today are also designed for modern living. In fact, Carrière Frères Candles were among the first candles to use an all-vegetable wax. With no paraffin, Carrière Frères Candles burn odor-free and smoke-free. The special wax also makes the scents of the candles to burn truer and to burn longer, allowing for long-lasting and clean-burning candles that are high on quality. Carrière Frères Candles burn for 50 hours and produce virtually no soot.
The makers of Carrière Frères Candles originally hired botanists as well as perfume experts to create wonderful scents. Today, that tradition continues.
