Nothing holds the promise of a lit candle -- in the time it takes to burn down there exists a lifetime of possibilities.

That’s why we don’t believe in saving candles for a special occasion. For us they’re an integral part of our everyday lives, gracing our homes with warm light, captivating scent, and a welcoming atmosphere.

Just the glow of a candle can tame the harshest winter wind.

At Illume we believe in burning candles as a creative act, one that says that time is not only precious, it’s worth celebrating. Our candles are the highest quality available anywhere. We encourage you to indulge in them. Stimulate your mind, create a sensory retreat, make your home a gathering place. Above all, use them.

It’s true, they don’t last forever, but their effects are truly long lasting.
