Values, Missions & Commitments

With an almost obsessive fascination for nature, Carrière Frères seeks to embody the plant world with sensitivity and respect. Flowers, herbs, woods and fruits... Each botanical treasure is classified, then closely studied to recreate its full complexity in candles, botanical palets, diffusers or room sprays. All olfactory forms which allow us to protect the beauty of each plant and its unique benefits.

Nature, then humans

Creating beautiful products that make you feel good
By respecting the purest essence of each botanical element, we seek in fine to perfectly stimulate the emotions often associated with them. The gentle sweetness of orange blossom, the zesty exoticism of ginger, the extraordinary freshness of spearmint... While our initial approach is rather intellectual, nourished by an irrepressible desire to know everything there is to know about nature, to collect and classify, our scented objects directly touch the emotions. Each scent has the immense power to reactivate happy olfactory memories. Our objects are about childhood, intimacy, each person’s own story. With their evocative fragrances, they allow us to create and form new rituals, new memories. The olfactory Madeleines of the future!

Respect, but also protect
For several years, Carrière Frères has been trying to give back to nature for all it gives to us. Gradually, we questioned, then challenged each element involved in the development of a Carrière Frères product in order to adopt an approach which is as environmentally-friendly as possible. Today, we are proud to obtain our supplies in France and Western Europe whenever possible, and to produce all of our products in mainland France, and more specifically in Normandy.
Step by step, we are eliminating or replacing any non-renewable element in our manufacturing chain: the cellophane, foam padding, ink and the cardboard we use which is now 100% recycled and FSC certified. The candles themselves are obviously not excluded from the sustainable development approach. Our goal is to make all Carrière Frères candles with 100% vegetable wax by 2022. Whenever possible and hand in hand with perfume maker Robertet, our privileged partner, we choose fragranced essences composed of a maximum of natural ingredients, respectfully extracted from individuals and regions.
