Carriere Freres EBONY (EBENE) candle

Experience and a respect for tradition, Carriere Freres has been a trusted manufacturer of wax candles since 1884. Selecting the finest waxes and most durable wicks, they developed a formula for a pure vegetal wax which can be easily blended with perfume. Carriere Freres has been the supplier of candles to the Basilique du Sacre Coeur in Paris since 1889. Eclectic Cool has imported Soliflore range of candles in ten fragrances. These scents are evocative of 'la Belle Epoque', a golden age where the flowers brought by traders all over the world to Les Halles were turned into intoxicating bundles of scent and were used in the romantic 'language of flowers'. Ebony is the name given to the dark brown, sometimes black, tissue called “duramen” found under the bark of Ebenaceae trees. Praised for its sturdiness and density, ebony is used to carve precious furniture pieces and refined musical instruments. Ebony trees are found in the tropical regions of the Old World, and are sought out for the enchanting smell that rises from their ashes.
