Native to South Africa, the fragrant geranium is distinguished from the common geranium by its strong perfume. Today, there are over 400 species of Pelargonium in the world, each has its own texture, colour and fragrance. Although Pelargonium are flowering plants, it is their leaves that reveal a variety of fragrances ranging from floral to spicy and aromatic.

In collaboration with the Paris national Museum of natural History, Carrière Frères highlights plants that are unusual, exotic and packed with history. 

Product Details

PERFUME
The scented candle is to its image: a fresh head note filled with grapefruit and hemp flowers; the head note that encapsulates the geranium’s beauty; and a base note featuring patchouli.

BENEFITS
Invigorating, the geranium is known for its purifying action. Its lemongrass notes could help repel mosquitoes.

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

Care Instructions

• 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 ¼ 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 ¼ inch of wax remains, blow out the candle and let it fully cool before safely discarding it.
