Illume Candles Brings Global Inspiration to Homes Worldwide
Illume Candles, based in Bloomington, is renowned for its globally inspired scents and captivating candle formulations. With a team of chemists working behind the scenes, the company translates cultural shifts into delightful home fragrances. Their products are sold in over 4,500 stores worldwide, including major retailers like Target and Crate & Barrel.
Illume's creative process begins with their product development team identifying trends. They then create unique scents and design vessels for each candle. The Eternal Nomad collection, for instance, features global-inspired packaging and scents like Thai Lily and Mediterranean. This collection is exclusive to Sephora and includes Illume's first bath and body products.
The company's candles are not just functional; they are accent pieces designed to enhance mood and make people feel good. This is evident in their top-selling candle, pineapple cilantro, which reflects Americans' preference for food smells. Despite the lack of public information about the specific chemists working at Illume, their expertise is evident in the company's diverse and appealing product range.
Illume Candles continues to innovate and adapt to trends. For spring 2013, president Liz Barrere is introducing desert-inspired scents. With their products available in over 4,500 stores worldwide and a website at illumecandles.com, Illume Candles remains a popular choice for those seeking to add a touch of global inspiration to their homes.
