CEDRUS ATLANTICA – CEDAR
A tree of the Pinaceae family, the cedar first grew in the atlases of North Africa. Light and sturdy, cedarwood is a favourite of carpenters and cabinetmakers. Its natural fragrance makes it a good insect repellent, and the Egyptians used its resin to embalm their dead. In aromatherapy, cedar oil fends off anxiety.

FRAGRANCE
Cedar is a dry, sophisticated, enveloping and comforting woody note. Its unique resin is powerful and pervasive, bringing warmth to the cold seasons.
Cedar is relaxing and calming, and is known to:
✓ Promote meditation and soothe nervous tension,
✓ Help to overcome sleep disorders,
✓ Help to fight against anxiety, stress and exhaustion,
✓ Act as an excellent natural moth repellent and air purifier.

BURN TIME
The 185g candles will burn for 45-50 hours. Please follow the instructions enclosed with your candle to get the most out of it. 

ABOUT THE BRAND 
In 1884, the Carrière brothers took over the French Royal Wax Manufacturer (now known as Cire Trudon) with the intention to modernise it, while still preserving its historical savoir-faire.  
With the industrial revolution well underway, access to electricity was becoming more widespread, and therefore candles weren’t as much of a necessity as they had been in the past. So, the Carrière brothers came up with a new way to keep candle use alive – candles as decorative objects! They create tapered and pillar candles for aesthetic use, for dinner settings or festivities, and they quickly became popular. At the 1889 Exposition Universelle (which the Eiffel Tower was built for) the brothers were awarded a gold medal for their vision and craft.
Inspired by the discoveries of 18th-century botanists and explorers, the Carrière Frères packaging and fragrances draw upon the natural biodiversity of the plant kingdom. In each and every scented candle or spray, perfume and botanical essences become one: composed like a periodic table, the Carrière Frères line honours scents extracted from herbs, roots, flowers, fruits or trees.
Each candle is made according to ancient expertise and handcrafted in the Trudon workshop in Normandy; the candles’ perfume coming from a blend of natural raw and synthetic materials. Since 2022, each of their candles and botanical palets are formulated with 100% vegetable wax, from European organic rapeseed. 

Never leave a lit candle unattended, and do not burn one for more than 2 hours at a time. Always burn a candle until the entire surface liquifies, and allow it to solidify before re-lighting. Keep the wick trimmed to ¼ inch at all times, to avoid any black smoke. Gently re-position the wick while the wax is still molten. Always protect the surface on which the candle rests. Once only ¼ inch of wax remains, blow out the candle and let it fully cool before safely discarding it.
