The story

Carrière Frères: artisan scented candles since 1884

A French house born at the height of the wax era

Carrière Frères is a French house founded in 1884 by the Carrière brothers, at the height of the golden age of wax in France. More than one hundred and forty years later, the house carries on its artisan chandler's savoir-faire in crafting exceptional scented candles, each named after the precise botanical profile of the material that inspired it. Home fragrance with a naturalist spirit, appealing to lovers of precise materials and long-burning candles.

The signature candles of the French house

The Carrière Frères pantheon brings together Bougie Pin de Sibérie et Rose d'Hiver, Bougie Pin de Sibérie et Bois Fumé, Bougie Verveine, Bougie Fleur d'oranger and Bougie Pin de Sibérie et Gingembre confit, all signature creations of the house.

A chandler's craft preserved intact

Carrière Frères cultivates a unique approach: the candle named after its material (Pinus Sibirica, Verbena, Citrus Aurantium), with a Latin botanical name that anchors each creation in a scientific lineage. The waxes are worked using techniques inherited from the 19th century, and their burn quality is among the most respected on the market. A house to discover for anyone who loves home fragrance at its most refined.

Who should use Carrière Frères, and when?

Carrière Frères is for lovers of artisan scented candles and home fragrance. The house suits every interior, with a palette particularly rich in green, citrus and woody notes. If you enjoy Carrière Frères, you will also love exploring our Home & Candles selection, which brings together the finest home fragrance signatures at Soleil d'Or.

Frequently asked questions about Carrière Frères

Who is behind Carrière Frères?

Carrière Frères is a French manufacture founded in 1884 by the Carrière brothers in Paris. It carries on an artisanal savoir-faire inherited from the master chandlers of the 17th and 18th centuries, and holds the Entreprise du Patrimoine Vivant (EPV) label (Living Heritage Company). The house shares historic roots with the royal wax manufacture Trudon. The candles are made in Normandy, the soaps in the Tarn — a proudly French foundation.

What sets Carrière Frères apart?

The soliflore: Carrière Frères builds its candles around a single, magnified plant, in the tradition of the botanists and explorers of the 18th century. 100% plant-based wax made from European rapeseed, pure cotton wicks, 100% recycled glass, 100% natural alcohol for the diffusers — a zero-plastic commitment shapes the entire production. A natural art-de-vivre approach in which each essence tells a botanical story.

What are Carrière Frères' iconic scents?

Several scents lead the catalogue. Tubéreuse, intense and heady, originally from Mexico. Iris Pallida, with its delicate flower native to the Dalmatian coast. La Rose, queen of flowers, originally from Turkey. Cyprès, the evergreen with a mythological name. Not to mention the seasonal editions and collaborative collections, such as Carrière Frères × Le Muséum national d'Histoire naturelle, which celebrates biodiversity.

How to choose a Carrière Frères candle?

For a first discovery, start by identifying the mood you want: luminous floral (Iris Pallida, Rose), enveloping woody (Cèdre, Cyprès), warm gourmand (Vanille, Figue), fresh green (Menthe, Citron). Apolline and Victorine can guide you in our Lille shop — every candle has its room and its ideal moment. You can also choose free Click & Collect to pick up your order in store.

What are the delivery times?

We ship within 24 working hours from Lille via Colissimo or Colissimo Point Relais (France and Europe). Orders to Asia are shipped via Colissimo Asia. For Canada, the USA and other destinations, delivery is via FedEx. Delivery is free in mainland France from €49 to a pickup point and from €69 for home delivery. You can also collect your order directly from our Lille shop, free of charge.
