About us

Fidrio has been a wholesaler of mouth-blown glassware since 1996. Every year, we develop vividly unique glassware collections. We have now combined our love of mouth blown glassware with a growing passion for scented candles. To this end, we established Illuminate by Fidrio in August 2023, an exciting new scented candle line. We sourced the finest raw materials for the Illuminate range and set our imaginations free, resulting in a series of sustainable scented candles made from the best plant-based wax.

Captivate the day, illume the night

Our candles are made from certified 100% organic vegetable wax. This wax is biodegradable and comes from a renewable source. Our candles burn significantly cleaner, longer and with a better scent diffusion than paraffin candles. In addition to this, the residual wax is easily removable and leaves no grease stains. Each luxury package is made from responsible raw materials (FSC quality approved) and the outer boxes are made from recycled cardboard. The artisanal glassware is mouth-blown and the candles are hand-poured in Europe. The shapes and color patterns are never identical. Each piece has its own charm.

Ethic

At a time when environmental concerns are high, we strive to maximize the sustainability of our products. This principle resulted in a perfect combination of beautifully handcrafted products and green principles: a collection of ecologically mindful scented candles. What we also find very important is that every Illuminate vase is endlessly reusable in the décor of a home, retaining decorative value long after the scented candle has been used up.

Keeping the Ambience Optimal

The Burning Protocol

  • Bring candle to room temperature before use. Place candle on flat, heat-resistant surface.
  • Cut wicks to 6mm before every use and ensure they are straight. Always light all wicks.
  • Wait until entire surface is liquid before extinguishing candle to prevent craters. This is especially important on first burn and will take longer than subsequent burns.
  • Do not burn candle for more than an hour after surface is completely liquid.
  • Do not leave pieces of wick or matches in wax. Straighten wicks before wax solidifies.
  • Never move or touch candle before it has cooled down and completely solidified.
  • Verplaats en raak de kaars nooit aan voordat die is afgekoeld en volledig gestold is.
  • Do not light candle again until it has completely solidified.
  • Never burn last centimeter of wax.
Once the candle is lit, sit back, relax, and let illuminate captivate your home.

Care of the glassware

You can keep the glassware looking its best by cleaning it by hand with mild natural soap and lukewarm water. Then rinse well with lukewarm water and dry with a clean cloth. Do not use sharp materials. Never clean the glass in the dishwasher.

Did You Know?

Candles made from 100% vegetable wax tend to be sensitive to temperature changes. A strong variation in the ambient temperature can cause the candle to sweat, producing small oil droplets on the surface. These oil droplets automatically disappear back into the wax when it cools down. This may affect the appearance of the wax, but it will not affect the burning quality or performance of the candle. To minimize sweating, it is important to store the candle under proper conditions and not leave it in the sun.
