Signature Scents: Candles & Fragrance from Neenah, WI
A room can be treated as carefully as a face.
Eight fragrances: five numbered candles, the one named for a verse, and two you wear. Poured for the studio, and sold through our own storefront rather than someone else's shelf.
The candles
Six candles. Five numbered, one named.
Numbered and named: the number places it in the line, the name tells you what it smells of. Notes are listed in the order they appear.
No. 1 · The Signature

No. 5 · The Bloom
$44
Soft, floral, and quietly elegant, No. 5 is centered around the delicate character of blooming jasmine, balanced by fresh green notes and a warm, creamy finish.
The fragrance opens with luminous jasmine, leading into galbanum, a green botanical note that brings freshness and depth. A base of labdanum and vanilla lends subtle warmth, creating a smooth, balanced fragrance that lingers beautifully throughout your home.
Though jasmine remains at its heart, No. 5 carries the gentle impression of spring florals, reminiscent of fresh lilac in bloom. Light, clean, and understated, it brings a quiet softness to any space while remaining refined and timeless.

Boldly Her
$42
Inspired by Proverbs 31:25, Boldly Her is a leather-forward fragrance rooted in faith, heritage, and craftsmanship.
Created by Elizabeth, it draws inspiration from the familiar scent of a well-loved leather Bible and the quiet character of a western tack room. Notes of leather, saffron, amber, and incense come together in a fragrance that is warm, textured, and enduring.
Live Boldly Her.

No. 1 Perfume
$115
The scent that has become synonymous with Illumatox.
From the moment you walk through our doors, this is the fragrance that welcomes you: the warm, sophisticated aroma that fills our studio and has become one of the things our clients remember most. Now, you can bring that same signature experience home.
No. 1 Signature Perfume is effortlessly feminine, refined, and timeless. Bright notes of lemon and cardamom create a fresh, luminous opening, while a graceful heart of iris, cedar, and soft cinnamon adds warmth and understated elegance. As it settles, creamy sandalwood, earthy vetiver, and delicate musk leave a soft, lingering finish that feels clean, luxurious, and undeniably beautiful.
Designed to be worn every day, No. 1 is a fragrance that doesn't overpower. It quietly captivates. Elegant enough for special occasions yet comforting enough to become your daily signature, it wraps you in the same elevated atmosphere our clients have fallen in love with at Illumatox.
Because some scents become memories. This one was made to become yours.

STAG Cologne
$115
Inspired by the outdoors and built for the man who feels most at home where the air is fresh and the pace is slower, STAG is a rugged, refined fragrance that balances crisp freshness with rich, earthy depth.
It opens with cool marine notes, bright pineapple, amphora, and warm saffron, creating a clean, invigorating introduction. The heart unfolds with aromatic lavender, green bamboo, and smoky incense, while a lasting foundation of leather, cedar, vetiver, amber, and musk brings warmth, texture, and quiet sophistication.
Reminiscent of weathered leather, sun-warmed cedar, open water, and the stillness of the woods, STAG is designed for the man who values craftsmanship, adventure, and authenticity. It wears close to the skin with a smooth, lasting finish, equally at home in the office, around a campfire, or on a weekend away.

Boldly Her
Clothed with strength and dignity.
“She is clothed with strength and dignity; she can laugh at the days to come.”Proverbs 31:25
The verse the one non-numbered candle is named for, and the reason it sits apart from the rest of the line.
Boldly Her is leather-forward, drawn from the smell of a well-used leather Bible and the quiet character of a western tack room. Elizabeth’s own, and the only fragrance here with a story attached rather than a note list.
At $42 it is also the one people buy for someone else, which is why it leaves the studio boxed more often than not.
Where to buy
Two places, and one of them has parking.
The whole line is on our own storefront at arkynskin.com, which also carries ARKYN Skin Care. Everything ships direct, and the Illumatox collection is the fragrance half of it.
They are also at the front desk on Main Street, which is the better option if you would rather smell something before committing to it: a note list only tells you so much, and the difference between No. 2 and No. 3 is obvious in the room and invisible on a page.
Gift cards cover these as readily as treatment, if you are buying for someone whose taste you would rather not guess at.
The other line
ARKYN is the skincare half.
Illumatox now carries two of its own lines, both on the same storefront. Signature Scents is the fragrance; ARKYN Skin Care is what goes on your face.
Both exist for the same reason. A studio that only ever sells other people’s products has an opinion about what works and no way to act on it.
Common questions
Signature Scents: what people ask.
What are the Signature Scents?
Eight fragrances made for the studio: five numbered candles: No. 1 The Signature, No. 2 The Garden, No. 3 The Woods, No. 4 The Grove and No. 5 The Bloom: plus the Boldly Her candle, No. 1 Perfume and STAG cologne. Candles are $42 to $44 and the two you wear are $115.
Which one is the scent of the studio itself?
No. 1, The Signature. It is the fragrance clients smell when they walk through the door and the one people ask about at the front desk often enough that it was worth putting in a jar. Notes of lemon and cardamom over cedar, iris and cinnamon, finishing on sandalwood, vetiver and musk.
What is the difference between the No. 1 candle and No. 1 Perfume?
They share the same accord, the studio scent, in two formats. The candle is $44 and fills a room; the perfume is $115 and is made to be worn, with the same opening and a softer landing. People who like the candle tend to end up with both, and there is no need to start with the expensive one.
Are any of these skincare?
No. These are home fragrance and two products worn on skin as fragrance, not formulated to treat it. If you are looking for something that does a job on your face, ARKYN Skin Care is the studio's own line and it is the right place instead of this one.
Can I smell them before buying?
Yes, at the front desk on Main Street, and it is worth doing. A note list tells you the ingredients and nothing about how a fragrance actually reads in a room, the difference between No. 2 and No. 3 is obvious with the lids off and invisible on a page.
Do they make good gifts?
They are the most common thing bought here as a gift. Boldly Her at $42 leaves the studio boxed more often than not, and unlike a treatment voucher a candle carries no suggestion that the recipient ought to change something about themselves. A gift card does the same job if you would rather leave the choice open.
Where do I buy them?
Either at the studio or from our own storefront at arkynskin.com, where the Illumatox collection carries all eight and ships direct. The same storefront carries ARKYN Skin Care, so a single order can cover both.
Smell them first.
They sit by the front desk on Main Street. A note list tells you less than ten seconds with the lid off.
