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'.
