The orange flower grows on the citrus tree, or “Citrus Aurantium”, of the Rutaceae genus. In bloom, the tree aunts its white flowers to the world, emitting a suave fragrance that has symbolized purity and beauty since Antiquity. Intoxicating but mysterious, these flowers used to adorn the garlands of young brides.
It was in the XVII century that orange blossom became popular in European courts thanks to Marie-Anne de La Trémoille, Princess of Ursins, who made it a great use for her rites of care.

MANUFACTURING

Firstly, the glass is white-lacquered by a specialist.
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.
Every ingredient is then weighed and melted, with the perfume blended in at the last instance.
Candles are then poured; each candle holds 6.7 oz. of scented wax. As the wax hardens, the wicks are set upright, by hand, to be perfectly centered.
Each candle is then slightly melted on top, to ensure a smooth surface.
Once cooled, Carrière Frères candles are hand-packaged.
