Wax-Making Expertise

Wax-Making Expertise

Unique craftsmanship. Carefully handcrafted in our workshop in Normandy, Carrière Frères’ scented candles contain many manufacturing secrets. Discover these exceptional processes.

Step 1

Lacquer

Firstly, the glass is white-lacquered by a specialist.

Step 2

Wicks

Wicks are then placed and secured in each vessel. Because every essential oil burns at a different temperature, each fragrance is paired with its own specially woven wick for an optimal burn.

Step 3

Preparation

Every ingredient is then weighed and melted, with the perfume blended in at the last instance.

Step 4

Wax

Candles are then poured; each candle holds 6.7 oz. of 100% vegetable scented wax from european rapeseed.

Step 5

Straightening

As the wax hardens, the wicks are set upright, by hand, to be perfectly centered.

Step 6

Finish

Each candle is then slightly melted on top, to ensure a smooth surface.

Step 7

Packing

Once cooled, Carrière Frères candles are entirely hand-packaged.
