About Illuminate Co. Candles

Illuminate Co. Candles was born from a love of storytelling, tradition, and the transformative power of scent. Every candle we create is more than just wax and wick—it’s a memory waiting to unfold, a moment of stillness in a busy world, and a touch of elegance for your space.

Our Story

I’m Kim a mum of 3 and the heart behind Illuminate Co. Candles. My journey with scent began long before I started this business, rooted in childhood memories, family traditions, and the belief that fragrance has the power to transport us to a different time and place. Raised in a home where Buddhist rituals intertwined with the comforting warmth of candlelight, and later embracing Orthodox Christianity, I’ve always found meaning in the gentle glow of a flame.

This love for tradition, combined with my passion for creating luxurious yet accessible products, led to the birth of Illuminate Co. Candles.

What We Stand For

At Illuminate Co., we believe candles should be more than just decor, they should tell a story, evoke emotions, and create an experience. That’s why we:

  • Curate meaningful collections inspired by personal connections, nostalgia, and timeless elegance.
  • Use premium, clean-burning ingredients to ensure a luxurious yet eco-conscious experience.
  • Celebrate inclusivity and tradition, crafting candles that resonate with all backgrounds, beliefs, and aesthetics.

We have had the pleasure of being a part of many sacred celebrations from holy communions, weddings, baptisms baby showers and many corporate events, creating beautiful gift favours that guests have adored.

More Than Just Candles

Illuminate Co. Candles has expanded beyond candles, introducing our perfume collections in our Lux Essence range, and even Illuminate diffusers for those who love the aromas without the flame.

But at the core of it all? It’s still about connection—between scent and memory, between moments and emotions, and most importantly, between you and the stories our candles help you tell.

Thank you for being part of the Illuminate Co. journey. We’re honored to light up your space, one candle at a time.
