Aloysia Citrodora

Its citrusy scent precedes it. Native to the Andes and grown for its fragrant leaves from Ecuador to Argentina via the Peruvian coast and Chile, verbena is a woody plant of the Verbenaceae family. It is widely used in cooking and infusions.

The leaves are highly fragrant, with green notes of fresh grass and a citrusy smell and taste and its citrusy freshness accompanies us all year round. Naturally, verbena is used in cooking, infusions and liqueurs; its digestive and soothing properties have been known for centuries.

Each candle is made according to ancient expertise and handcrafted in our workshop in Normandy; the candles’ perfume comes from a blend of natural raw and synthetic materials. Since 2022, each of our candles and botanical palets are formulated with 100% vegetable wax, from European organic rapeseed. 

To limit the packaging’s environmental impact, no plastic or non-essential materials are used. Carrière Frères opts for a natural approach with boxes made from 100% recycled and recyclable FSC paper, labels made from FSC paper (40% recycled) and printing using vegetable-based inks.
