ABSINTHE SCENTED CANDLE

Absinthe Scented Candle, unusual, exotic and full of history

Absinthe is a perennial shrub native to the continental temperate zones of Europe, Asia and North Africa. Called "the green fairy", absinthe was reputed to provide creative powers and, before being banned, was the infamous muse that inspired writers such as Emile Zola and Paul Verlaine, painters Vincent Van Gogh and Edgar Degas.

In collaboration with the National Museum of Natural History in Paris, Carrière Frères highlights unusual, exotic plants full of history.

A plant with an intense vegetal aroma that reveals a green and aromatic fragrance softened by a woody base note and with energizing powers, absinthe is known for toning and helping to overcome fatigue.

Made in the same factories as those of Cire Trudon, sister brand of Carrière Frères, this scented candle is emblematic of the know-how of the French house. Melted by hand, the wax is perfumed at the last moment to preserve all its qualities.

Woven from pure cotton, the wick is also centered by hand and varies depending on the fragrance, to ensure optimal combustion. Designed to burn for 45 to 50 hours, this candle highlights the intoxicating aroma of orange blossom.

Fragrances made in Grasse, cotton wick, 100% recyclable glass made in Italy, 100% recyclable label, ecological lacquer, recycled FSC paper packaging.

Recommendations

- Never leave a burning candle unattended and do not light it for more than 2 hours at a time.

- Always burn a candle until the entire surface is liquefied and allow it to solidify before lighting it again.

- Keep the wick trimmed to ¼ inch at all times to avoid black smoke. Gently replace the wick while the wax is still melted.

- Always protect the surface on which you rest the sail.

- Once only ¼ inch of wax remains, extinguish the candle and allow it to cool completely before safely disposing of it.
