Absinthe is a plant with an intense vegetal scent that unveils a green and aromatic fragrance softened by a fruity base note.

Absinthe is a perennial shrub native to continental, temperate zones in 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 like Emile Zola or Paul Verlaine, painters Vincent Van Gogh and Edgar Degas.

The story of Carrière Frères naturally follows that of the Royal Wax Manufacture, known today as Trudon. In 1884, the Carrière brothers decide to buy the manufacture: passionate about historical savoir-faire, they have in mind to modernize it. Respectful of traditions, they first embrace the century-old heritage of master candle makers established in the 17th and 18th centuries. Then, eager to innovate, they create Carrière Frères in 1884: under this new entity, their curiosity and entrepreneurial spirit will thrive.

At the end of the 18th century, the industrial revolution is well under way: albeit the stream of modernizations and an increased access to electricity, the brothers manage to keep candle-use alive and creative. Ingeniously, they extend their religious use to include candles as decorative objects: a new generation of pillar and taper candles are placed on diner tables or favored during festive evenings. As early as 1889, the brothers are awarded a golden Medal at the Universal Exhibition for their vision and craft.

Manufactured in the Trudon factory, the CF line has since been at the crossroads when it comes to respecting ancient savoir-faire, embracing modernity and building a legacy.
