About ILLUMENS

After over a decade of being renowned for producing the most beautiful bath essences and personal fragrances, Caroline Hardy has now applied her skill in design and perfume creation to the area of home fragrance with delightful results. Previously, Caroline designed bath and home products for customers including Henri Bendel, Laura Ashley and Ralph Lauren, Marks and Spencer. Her own collection, ILLUMENS is one which she is most proud, since all the products are developed without compromise. Russell's background is in design having worked for Designers Guild, Osborne and Little and Harvey Nichols. All ILLUMENS scented candles and taper diffusers are handmade and carefully packed in Suffolk where Caroline and Russell live and work. 'The ILLUMENS team is small, but that’s the way we like it, Russell and I develop everything ourselves from the initial idea, right through the development of the fragrances and the packaging to the final product. Everything in the process is very carefully considered so that the end product is beautiful to look at, performs amazingly and is affordable! We are both truly passionate about fragrance and design.' Says Caroline. Each one of our collections of scented candles and reed diffusers is a personal reflection of what we love, our experiences and explorations. The products have a reputation for quality in presentation and performance resulting in repeat orders again and again from loyal customers.Read their story
