Sandalwood Candle

This ancient wood comes from a parasitic evergreen tree. Native to the Mysore region of India, its fragrant and medicinal properties have been known for 4,000 years: Indian temples built with sandalwood have preserved its fragrance for centuries.

Benefits:
Its sweet and woody fragrance brings a welcome warmth in Autumn. Used for 4,000 years, Chinese medicine has bestowed it with a positive influence on longevity, willpower and confidence. Sandalwood is reputed for:
- Helping to overcome exhaustion, stress and anxiety.
- Helping to eliminate sleep disorders.
- Calming the nervous system.
- Its relaxing action: as a natural anxiolytic, it is beneficial for meditation.

Each candle is made according to ancient expertise and handcrafted in a workshop in Normandy; the candles’ perfume comes from a blend of natural raw and synthetic materials. Since 2022, candles and botanical palets were 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.

Measures approx.: 3.5” H x 3” dia.

- 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 1/4 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 1/4 inch of wax remains, blow out the candle and let it fully cool before safely discarding it.
- Burning time: 40 to 45 hours.

Carrière Frères candles feature a unique wax formula that allows for a clean and even burn. Inspired by the indomitable spirit of scientific discovery, Carrière Frères now explores the world of scents.

Carrière Frères candles are luxury-crafted in their own Normandy factory in France.
