Carriere Freres Sandalwood Scented Candle 185g One Size

Carriere Freres' sandalwood scented candle is inspired by the tree's woody and penetrating fragrant oil, which fascinated botanists and explorers in the 18th century. Crafted in cire trudon's lauded factory, Carriere Freres candles are a token of history, from the traditional manufacturing techniques used to make them to the individual ancient botanicals on which each scent is based. Native to india's mysore state, the sandalwood or 'santalum album' was historically used to build temples, which retain the wood's penetrating scent to this day. An ancient remedy for ailments, it is ever-present in hindu and buddhist rituals; its rich red paste used for the former's bindi, and as a base for incense. For this candle, sandalwood oil is distilled into a high quality wax blend which, when melted, releases a poetic language exclusively spoken by nature.
