About Dilo

Dilo is a Philadelphia-based design studio that blends modern aesthetics with warm, inviting fragrance. Every candle, spray, and incense cone is designed and poured by hand at dilo Studios in Philadelphia, with a focus on using USA-sourced materials and clean, safe formulations.

Their product line spans multiple collections — from the richly layered elsewhere scents to the approachable numbered fragrances of the Amber Glass Collection and the bold, statement-making SHADES line. Each collection has its own character, but they share a commitment to quality soy wax, strong scent throw, and distinctive design.

Dilo’s fragrances draw from unexpected inspirations: the sacred warmth of palo santo, the herbaceous depth of desert kush, the delicate bloom of cactus flower. They’re made for people who want their home to smell as intentional as it looks.
