You know that scent that makes you pause, take a deep breath, and briefly consider moving into a boutique hotel lobby? This is that kind of candle.

We love the Cactus Flower for its unexpected mix of fresh, floral, and earthy notes. Agave and bergamot bring a bright opening; jasmine, cactus flower, and mandarin add a touch of softness; redwood, moss, and vetiver ground everything in something warm and wild. Think of the desert at dusk: the heat slowly fading, the air changing, and the whole landscape taking on a different mood.

Light it after a long day in the sun, when the windows are open and the desert breeze finally finds its way inside.

Why it's here

We have a soft spot for objects that do more than look good. dilo founder Dave DiLorenzo believes fragrance can create a mood, evoke a place, and make an ordinary moment feel a little more special. We're all for that. Out here in the High Desert, where the light, the air, and the landscape do so much with so little, a fragrance that feels both wild and refined makes perfect sense.

Light it. Take a breath. Stay awhile.
