Bay Laurel
A symbol of immortality, its leaves remain green all year round. Head of the Lauraceae family, the bay laurel is native to Asia Minor: commonly found around the edges of the Mediterranean, it was used to crown kings, poets and victors. It was the symbol of Apollo in ancient times.
The bay laurel reveals a subtle aromatic scent, with camphor and even spicy notes.
It embodies the Summer season.
Its camphor note is known for:
✓ Being a general stimulant,
✓ Strengthening concentration and memory,

Our Commitment
Each candle is made according to ancient expertise and handcrafted in our workshop in Normandy; the candles’ perfume comes from a blend of natural raw and synthetic materials. Since 2022, each of our candles and botanical palets are formulated with 100% vegetable wax, from European organic rapeseed.
To limit the packaging’s environmental impact, no plastic or non-essential materials are used. Carrière Frères opts for a natural approach with boxes made from 100% recycled and recyclable FSC paper, labels made from FSC paper (40% recycled) and printing using vegetable-based inks.
Instructions
Never leave a lit candle unattended, and do not burn one for more than 2 hours at a time.
Always burn a candle until the entire surface liquifies, and allow it to solidify before re-lighting.
Keep the wick trimmed to ¼ inch at all times, to avoid any black smoke. Gently re-position the wick while the wax is still molten.
Always protect the surface on which the candle rests.
Once only ¼ inch of wax remains, blow out the candle and let it fully cool before safely discarding it.
