Carrière Frères has long been a favorite of our MFCH Box and Boutique clients. Known for their refined botanical candles, this historic French brand blends tradition with sustainability.

The story of Carrière Frères dates back to 1884, when the Carrière brothers revived the heritage of waxmaking in Paris. Their vision was to combine age-old candle-making techniques with scientific discovery and a deep respect for plants. More than a century later, the brand still draws on this legacy, traditionally crafting candles using a blend of high-quality vegetable wax and pure cotton wicks.

What truly sets Carrière Frères apart is its dedication to botanicals. Each candle is inspired by a single plant – rose, tomato leaf, cedar, lavender, and many more – distilled into subtle, natural scents that gently fill a room. Rather than overwhelming the senses, their fragrances evoke a serene connection to nature. These aren’t just candles – they’re olfactory portraits that tell a story.

Beyond their beautiful scents, they are deeply committed to sustainability. The brand takes care to source ingredients responsibly and locally whenever possible. Their packaging is crafted from recycled and recyclable materials, and they partner with organizations to support environmental preservation. Even the glass vessels are made to be reused or recycled, promoting a lifestyle of mindful consumption.

Their collaboration with the Muséum National d’Histoire Naturelle in Paris highlights their mission to protect biodiversity and to educate the public about the plant world. This partnership brings scientific expertise into the creative process, making each product a celebration of both nature and heritage.

Carrière Frères has been featured in many of our past subscription boxes, and our clients often tell us they look forward to seeing their name inside. Whether it’s the comforting scent of orange blossom or the fresh green notes of basil, each candle becomes a little ritual of daily pleasure.
