Home Fragrance Brand, ILLUME, Celebrates 30 Year Heritage

The inspiring brand reunites with founder & artist Lynette Reed for beautiful & collaborative "Artist Founded, Artist-Led" collection

MAPLE GROVE, Minn., July 15, 2024 /PRNewswire/ --  ILLUME, prominent home fragrance brand, celebrates its 30th anniversary this July. For three decades, the brand has been reimagining luxurious olfactory experiences in the home with best selling candle varieties, diffusers, personal care, and more. To celebrate this milestone, ILLUME has partnered with its founder, artist Lynette Reed, to bring forth a collaborative, art focused candle collection.

The internationally based painter, Lynette Reed found inspiration in the fragrances of her California gardens and global trips. With experimentation and play, she created ILLUME in 1994. 30 years later, the brand has become a leader in the world of home fragrance, manufacturing over 50 million units annually and retailing at over 4,500 specialty and department stores such as Anthropologie, West Elm, Whole Foods, and more.

ILLUME is introducing an Artist Founded, Artist-Led collection which brings forth the brand's belief that beautiful art brings joy & connection. The first installment features artwork by Lynette Reed and includes former favorite Pineapple Cilantro and Gardenia scents, as well as the brand's first ever and best selling fragrance, Coconut Milk Mango.

Each scent will be available in three formats and will continue to boast the brand's practices of safe and natural formulations. ILLUME products are made with waxes of soy, veggie, palm, carnauba, and FDA-approved food-grade paraffin with wicks of cotton or paper and never with lead or metal. The fragrances are created from natural ingredients & safe synthetics and are free of parabens, propylene glycol, phthalates, and are PETA certified cruelty-free and vegan.

"ILLUME is a leader in the home fragrance market, and we are happy to celebrate its 30th anniversary," says Heather Stewart, President, ILLUME. "We have built from Lynette's legacy, growing the brand to be at the forefront of providing affordable, elevated fragrance experiences, and are overjoyed to support artists with the new Artist Founded, Artist-Led series working in tandem to bring our work and theirs to life."
