A fragrance memory — brought back to life.

The Ilum Cologne Retro Luxury Candle is one of the most personal in the ILUM collection — a re-creation of the cologne their dad used to wear, smelled in the early morning as he left for work and gone by evening, masked by cigar smoke. A fleeting, vivid memory of a scent that defined a time. The porcelain vase pattern is inspired by a childhood memory of classic hexagonal floor tiles at their grandfather's house in Belgium — nostalgia made tangible in every detail.

The fragrance opens with a bright, fresh burst of lemon, bergamot, mandarin, and pineapple with a hint of rose, evolving into an elegant floral heart of neroli, petitgrain, orange flower, lavender, and jasmine — finishing with a warm, masculine base of musk and amber. Classic, refined, and instantly familiar — like catching a scent on the morning air and being transported somewhere you loved.

Hand-poured in Ireland using 100% natural wax and a lead-free cotton wick for a clean, even burn. The perfect introduction to the Cologne Retro fragrance, or a beautifully giftable piece for any occasion.
