How We Build a Dio Fragrance
We begin with an idea, then focus on the feeling we want the fragrance to evoke. From the first impression to the deepest layer, every note is selected to shape its personality and bring the complete scent story to life.
Top Notes
We set the first impression
Bright, immediate notes introduce the fragrance and establish its mood, drawing you into the scent.
Mid Notes
We shape its personality
Mid notes form the main character of the fragrance. They create its central experience and connect the brighter opening to the deeper layers beneath it.
Base Notes
We bring it all together
Rich, grounding notes anchor the fragrance and bring the composition together, adding warmth, dimension, and balance.
Finish
We complete the experience
Together, these layers transform individual notes into a distinctive scent designed to evoke the feeling that inspired it. That's why our fragrances feel so personal. They are.
- Smells like the local hipster bookstore with leather chairs, books, and dark wood everywhere
- Smells amazing, just like a bookstore. Nice scent for fall, just relaxing while reading a book.
- Smells EXACTLY like the pages in an old book! Perfect for anyone who loves old bookstores

The item came beautifully packaged. Very professional in appearance. I got the bookstore scented candle and it smells exactly as it says! It has the smell of book pages though a bit more strongly concentrated. But the more you smell the more the subtle notes of leather and coffee come through. I also wasn’t expecting the freebie which I am going to get one for myself as this is a gift. It was spiced apple donut and OMG it made me hungry but also had the spirit of fall in it. Perfect for a cozy book. I also like the little hand written sticky note. I thought it was a nice touch.

My mom loves forbidden west wing so much, I decided to order a couple candles for myself. Bookstore smells just like you’re in a bookstore or old library. I LOVE it!

1oz Candle
This candle smells like the local hipster bookstore where the lights are low and someone left a cup of coffee on the counter. Leather chairs, gently used books, and dark wood everywhere with just enough warmth to make you want to stay way too long.

1oz Candle
This is my honest review.
None of the candles I bought have a scent further than sitting right next to them and even then is very faint . I didn't expect a large throw from a 1 oz candle but I expected something. And I'm getting nothing. Not even the 4oz candles are doing anything. How can every candle I bought be a dud? Customer service was good but at the end of the day I have a $70 order ($80 if you count shipping) of candles that I can't smell.

I love supporting small businesses whenever I can, and I didn’t hesitate to order this candle when I came across it. But if I’m being honest, I couldn’t smell any scent coming off this candle, even after it had been burning for an hour. (And no, I don’t have Covid.) I really wanted to like this, but I don’t see myself ordering this again.
Thank you for your order and for this review! However, this is not the standard experience that we set for our customers. Hoping to have this rectified ASAP. Customer service is awaiting your reply.

I bought it as a present for my friends sister who loves books and bookstores.
The smell is not for me personally but it does smell like an old bookstore and I'm sure she will enjoy it.

does not smell like a bookstore. was okay with the price vs amount of candle because i thought it would smell like bookstore but it doesn’t so now i feel it’s overpriced. At least I didn’t waste my money on amazon. rather support small businesses

This is a Christmas gift for my 18 year old daughter who loves “the book store scent”. I haven’t given it to her yet but I’m sure she will love it. Ordering and shipping was super easy and loved the personalized note that came with it 😊

Does it smell like you're at Barnes and Noble? <3
Barnes and Noble have multiple locations with varying businesses attached to them, creating a less uniform scent experience across their chain locations. This scent, while reminscient of a generic Book Store, may not hit exactly like Barnes and Noble. Our advice would be to get Book Store + Bibliophile together. Hope this helps!
