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.

I bought this for my sister who doesn't like most candles and prefers masculine scents. She enjoys the smell and described it as "manly Christmas." I agree with that description. Thank you!
I bought a few of these cute candles for my husband as stocking stuffers for Christmas! He absolutely loved the Hardware store scent because it reminded him of his grandfather. We visited his mom the day after Christmas and we decided to regift her the candle instead and immediately upon opening it she said it reminded her of her late father (his grandpa). It totally made Christmas that much more special and brought back some great family memories and stories ❤️❤️❤️Thank you Dio candle for making my husband’s and mother-in-laws Christmas one to remember!🎄❤️
Oddly enough, this candle smells like bug spray which is what I think of when I think of a hardware store. I think of a little store in a beachy town and...bug spray 😂😂😂. It doesn't ACTUALLY smell like big spray, but it def reminds me of it!!! It's a nice, clean scent and a pretty pale grey colour!!!
Does it smell like a hardware store? Yes and no. It doesn't smell like concrete and paint thinner, but it does definitely smell industrial. More specifically, it smells like a hardware store with Just Some Guy in it. Don't mistake me as saying this "smells manly" - I mean, I suppose it does, but not with the intentional full-chestedness of like a Squatch soap or whatever. It does not smell like a man who wears cologne. It smells like a hardware store with Just Some Guy in it, and that guy probably smokes and probably uses deodorant with an amber base without really thinking about it too much. It smells like blue jeans with drywall dust, a sunbaked air freshener in the truck, and only shaving your beard if your employer asks you to for a respirator fit test. It smells like someone who works outside and wears Carmex even if it rubs off on their cigs, because their lips crack in the wind from chronic McDonald's Coke-fueled dehydration. Truly a candle for the people who build, haul, and dump. I had a Tonka computer game growing up that came with a keyboard overlay that had a steering wheel and some levers, and the character in the tutorials was some smiling, Paul Bunyan-esque construction dude with a dorky outfit - this is his candle.
Smelled like a candle to me, not necessarily Home Depot, but the recipient LOVED it!
Nice candle, it smells good
Smells so good and makes a great gift for that hard worker on your life who is tough to buy for. Great store! Will be back.
Cute candle! My daughter is obsessed with the Home Depot smell so although this is a bit different, it's close enough and smells pretty good!
This is so unique and exactly what i was looking for.
I worked a paint and hardware store for years and this candle brought back all the bittersweet memories. Well done!
Love the smell of this candle. It’s so fresh and exactly what we were looking for. The fact that it’s also a soy candle is a major plus too!
Hardware Store Candle
I was so excited when I actually found that someone made a Hardware Store scented candle. I thought to myself, how is it possible to make that smell… apparently it isn’t. I get a little bit of the paint smell I guess. But that’s the last part of the store I would even want to smell. I really love the smell of a hardware store, it’s intoxicating. The candle though, I hate to say, is pretty disappointing.
We're so sorry our Hardware Store scent missed the mark for you. We appreciate your feedback, as it is crucial to our development and continued growth. If you'd care to discuss in further detail, we'd love to hear from you! With 350+ scent options - we're sure we can find something you'll fancy!
This is a christmas guft fir my husband who is obsessed with unique candles and great smells. He hasn't opened them yet, but i know he'll love them. I absolutely had to get a sneak peak and they were great looking. The smell really reminded me of an old school hardware store, and brought back some memories with my grandpa.
Natasha is sooo sweet and kind! She sent few free samples AND a hand written sticky note with my order. The world needs more kind moments like this (especially now)! It's great supporting a small, woman-owned businesses, but dio felt like such a warm, personal experience! ANDDD the candle quality and smell is amazing! My partner likes home depot smell and Natasha's "Hardware candle" was the closest thing I could find, he loved it! Cant wait to buy my next one.
Very cool. Quick and smelled great!

I was really looking for Home Depot smell, and it’s not quite like it, I guess it’s better! It is very expensive for the size, it’s about 2” tall. That’s $10 per inch! But it’s for my boss and she’s the best…

Gifted this candle to someone and they enjoyed it so much I had to purchase another for someone else. It's a great gift for men who aren't sure if they're a "candle person." It's a gateway candle!

Jim the paint mixer... He's old but good at mixing paint and he smokes a tobacco pipe on his break out back in a metal shed.... It's not Home Depot, more like the hardware store of old with the lumber stored outside.

This scent was purchased on a whim almost as a joke, but it’s absolutely one of my favorites!

My partner loved it, smells just like a hardware store.
I had gotten this candle for my dad a couple of years ago, kind of as a joke, but he loved it so much he requested a new one! It smells great, and it shipped very quickly.
