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

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.

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

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

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

Finish
Each candle is then slightly melted on top, to ensure a smooth surface.
Packing
Once cooled, Carrière Frères candles are entirely hand-packaged.
