As the name indicates, Carrière Frères was founded by the erudite and entrepreneurial Carrière brothers, in 1884. They set out to reinvent the candle-making process, eventually developing a unique wax formula that allowed for a clean and even burn. The fragrances are made in Grasse, the fragrance capital of France, if not the world, and the candles are painstakingly crafted in Normandy.
