Carriere Freres - In 1884, Carrire Frres was founded by the erudite and entrepreneurial Carrire brothers. Well-versed in 18th century wax craftsmanship, yet passionate about patents and new inventions, they set out to reinvent the candle-making process. Carrire Frres candles feature a unique wax formula that allows for a clean and even burn. From the Lamiacea family, this perennial plant can reach one meter and essentially grows in sunny and rich lands. Usually, its serrated leaves are deep green and its flowers are cob shapped and pink or purple. Of unknown origin, but considered by some botanists to comes from a very old crossbreed between two other mint species.
