Paying tribute to botanical research, Carriere Freres is organised around a table of scents that epitomize the natural biodiversity of the plant kingdom: the scented candles represent a range of single-note-like perfumes that include exotic, indigenous & aromatic essences unveiled by 18th century botanists and explorers

Bay Laurel - used in the past to crown the heads of kings, poets and winners, the Bay Laurel also used to be Apollo’s symbol in Antiquity. Its perfume reveals a subtle and camphorated scent.

Tuberose - hand=picked to preserve their sensual fragrance intact. In Italy, young girls were forbidden to wander around gardens where the powerful flower bloomed, for fear their intoxicating smell would rob the girls of their decency

Damascus Rose - during its intense blooming season it displays an exquisite corolla of petals - this rose is celebrated as the Queen of Flowers

Dalmatian Iris - first launched by Catherine de Medici, the fashion of Iris perfume is embraced by many - it is the perfumery’s golden asset. Powdery at heart, Iris perfume is enveloping, comforting and gently sweet

Orange Blossom - in bloom the orange tree flaunts its white flowers to the world, emitting a suave fragrance that has symbolized purity and beauty since Antiquity

Jasmine - this musky-scented flower from India grows on a bush of the Oleaceae family. Legend has it that Cleopatra soaked the sails of her ship with Jasmine oil on her way to seduce Marc Anthony

Lily of the Valley - in France they are hand-picked on 1st May to celebrate the Spring. Invigorating and pure, the lily carries the scent of happy days

Sandalwood - wild and fragrant trees with tenacious leaves that grow in India. Its wood is often used in temples that to this day have kept its penetrating scent.
