Discover how exceptional candles are made at Cirier
Step 1: Perfuming
Choosing the raw materials, testing the formula in our laboratory, mixing the perfume with the wax are some of the steps that lead the way to a scented candle.
Step 2: Preparing
All our candles are handmade in our own manufacture in Normandy, France. Their fabrication begins by the setup of the wicks. They are set at the bottom of each glass so that they stay perfectly centered. The glasses are then aligned on wooden counters before pouring or conveyed to a filling station.
Step 3: Pouring
Right after the molten wax is mixed with the perfume, it is poured by hand or using an automatic filling station into the aligned glasses. The pouring stage is either automatic or manual, depending on the format.
Step 4: Centering
When the wax is poured, the wicks are softened due to the effect of the heat and they slightly bend inside the glass. When the wax starts to solidify, the wicks are straightened by hand to ensure that the stay perfectly centered.
Step 5: Cutting
The candles are then surfaced. This means that the top is slightly re-melted to make sure the surface is perfectly smooth. The wick is then cut at a specific height to ensure an optimal first burn.
Step 6: Decorating
As a timeless object, candle making is the expression of an exceptional know-how, from the waxing to the packaging.
