Even better than expected. Smells a tiny bit bitter before lighting but after burning for a few minutes balances out nicely.
It smells like the cashmere amber scents but better. Idk how to describe how they got a cozy feeling in a candle but they did. You feel like a gilmore girls character and it last for so long.
We usually get the wax melts and we have this one which is lovely, however the fire from the wick really brings this one together.
Okay buckle up, I'm a "candle person" and I have very strong opinions about candles and specific brands. I will NEVER buy a candle from Home Goods or Bath and Body Works. I hate artificial vanilla smell. I prefer earthy, musky scents like Nag Champa, but I also love citruses and "clean" smells. I also grew up in the '90s and spent every weekend at the movie store.
All that being said, this candle is amazing! It somehow smells a little like buttered popcorn without smelling like buttered popcorn. It's somehow perfectly combined with the musky scents I like. (My husband said it had undertones of head shop. My daughter said, "It smells like you but buttery.") I've waved it around so many faces, and so far my ~40yo compatriarts agree that it smells nostalgic but can't quite say video store for certain. My younger compatriarts say it smells "like something you would like."
I use a candle warmer 8 hours a day through a rotation of candles. I thought this one would be a special occasion candle for movie nights, but I thought wrong. It's going in the regular rotation. My only regret is that I bought a smaller size to try it out. I should have gone straight for the big boy. 10/10 would recommend.
Trying out the Football Game next, and I WILL be going full size. Great job Dio fam.
As always, my order is divine and I’m so excited to use all of it and I love this little game!
Hey thanks for taking the time to play our game! I have contacted you to let you know the true answer for your Guess the Scent :) Have a great day
When lit, you can smell the scent of the candles instantly. Smells just as described, a clean burn with no black soot gathered on the side that many commercial candle get. It was a great price, too!
Hi! I'm a new customer & very happy, not only with my purchases; but with the understanding, and friendly way this small business interacted with me. The smell of these candles when lit, are noticeable, practically right away and make a room complete for decor and just relaxing. I bought smaller candles; but my next purchase will definetly be a few big ones- but it was a good way to see if I liked them. Please support this small business. They care about what they do, work hard
Smells uncannily like the cookies. Sweet, buttery, and refined without the cloying scent that can sometimes be present in baked goods scented candles.
I don’t know how Dio Candle Company has managed to capture this scent, but it’s so nostalgic. Bonus points for also being an oddly pleasant smell in addition to the novelty factor.
This is an earthy scent lover’s dream. The dirt, water, and grass combined make a gorgeous natural scent that’s grounding and comforting.
This is unlike any chocolate scented candle I’ve ever used. The scent is unique (chocolate candles generally seem to be more milk chocolate based), and the kick of chili keeps things interesting. Highly recommended!
It’s so good! The notes are perfect, and they’re blended beautifully. This scent is warm, nostalgic, and unique. I love the smoky kick. Shipping was incredibly fast, and the candles arrived carefully packaged. A new favorite.
I’ve always LOVED the idea of a local bookshop candle. The dusty shelves, books that were read, loved, or thrown out. Absolutely obsessed. What I’ve found so difficult is the heavy coffee notes most use in these types of candles. It completely ruins the true essence and vibe for me. That’s why I waited SO LONG to try this and joke’s on me. This is the absolute perfect bookstore candle and is now a top 3. The coffee notes are faint enough to be a background instead of an “in your face”note. Obsessed. This will undoubtedly be the next 32 oz candle we get from Dio!
Smells delicious! I wish the pumpkin and pecan notes were a bit stronger, but otherwise really nice
Greenhouse is incredible! The sharp peppers make a great contrast against the rest of the greenery and it's very different from any other floral candle I've tried.
Love this scent. This is a great scent. Warm and cozy and fireplace all in one. Definitely a favorite.
Our guess is Apple, Pear, Lychee, Peony, Lotus Flower? Musk, Sugar. Obsessed as usual!

I’ve been burning this one while I practice yoga. The solar plexus chakra is tied to confidence, personal power and self-esteem, so it feels especially fitting during a practice where I’m trying to feel stronger and more grounded. The pine, ginger and warmer notes make the whole room feel calm.
Obviously I had to put on Hotel California from front to back while I burned this. From the opening of the title track, the scent just fits the whole world of the album: desert air, open road, warm woods and that slightly stormy feeling. It made listening to an album I have loved for decades feel like an experience instead of just having music on in the background. This is exactly why I love a candle built around music. That in the fact that I can't afford tickets to see them at the sphere. 😆
This is a note perfect foccacia candle. It’s stronger than the other bread candle I ordered (Hear of Italia) and I love having a couple of options based on the intensity I’m in the mood for at the time. I ordered 4 of the 1oz candles for my first order, and Dio Candle Company has the distinction of being the first time I’ve ordered candles and have received the stamp of approval on all of them from husband (who is picky about scents). I’m glad I came across this company and am excited to try more scents!
I love savory candles, and this one is perfect. It’s subtle and comforting, and is strong without being invasive. Shipping was fast, and the order confirmation message from the owners was really sweet. These candles are my new favorites and I’m excited to try more!
