We especially love the concept behind "The Shop" - a fragrance inspired by Blu Dot’s modern home furnishing workshop, where all their incredible creations come to life. This scent captures notes of wood and various oils, the metallic tinge of welding and gentle aroma of suede.

From a young girl captivated by garden scents to an NYC model, Lynette's journey led her to found ILLUME Candles in 1994. Hollywood took note, and her creations became A-list favorites. From garage to factory, ILLUME's rapid growth was unstoppable. After selling ILLUME in 2000, Lynette consulted (& still does!) in the industry, raised two kids, and rediscovered art in Italy. Her work was featured in the London Art Biennale in 2021. Now, in 2024, Lynette celebrates ILLUME's 30th anniversary with a special collection. Art, like life, is about trusting your inner voice.
