Blustery walks with the wind whipping through your hair. Leaves crunching beneath your boots and your favourite scarf wrapped tightly around you. Coming home rosy-cheeked and cold-nosed. Putting the kettle on and your feet by the fire. It’s scarf season.
Smells like: freshly baked cardamom-spiced pumpkin bread, still warm from the oven and slathered in vanilla cream cheese frosting.
Spicy cardamom and ginger with creamy pumpkin, soft vanilla and a hint of hazelnut, create a scent that’s warm, sweet and wonderfully autumnal.

CANDLE CARE
Always trim candle wicks to approx 4mm before every burn.
Never burn your candle for more than 4 hours. Never leave a candle burning unattended. Jars can get very hot if left burning for too long and we don’t want any cracked glass jars!

A warm, cosy scent that feels like wandering through Stars Hollow on a crisp autumn morning, coffee in hand.
Orange and lemon with warming ginger, nutmeg and clove, finishing with golden caramel and creamy tonka. Spiced, sweet and comforting, with just the right amount of citrusy brightness.
Think cosy jumpers, small-town autumn, coffee shop windows glowing in the rain and the feeling that the most joyful months of the year are just about to start.

Meet the Scent Discovery Box.
Six little wax melts, chosen from our current collection. Meaning you can have a proper sniff around before committing to a full-size snap bar or candle. Each box contains a mix of scents, from old favourites to seasonal specials and whatever we're particularly excited about right now.
The selection will change throughout the year depending on the season and what's available, so every box is a little different. Think of it as your own miniature tour of the Dill scent library.
Perfect for discovering new favourites, trying something a little different, or gifting to someone who takes their home fragrance very seriously.
Each box contains 6 x 12g wax melts.
Please note: scents vary by season and availability, so the fragrances pictured may not be the ones included in your box.
For use in standard wax melt burners only - not suitable for use in electric burners.

The bell chimes as you walk in the door. A quiet hum of conversation, the buzz of the espresso machine, people sat drinking coffee in corners they have sat in a hundred times before.
Small Town Coffee Shop is a scent rooted in cosy familiarity and nostalgia. Notes of fresh roasted coffee, hazelnut and steamed milk.
Smells like slow mornings and window seats.

🍐✨
Sun-warmed pear, buttery freesia petals and bright citrus open this scent with a fresh, dewy lightness, deepened with a note of bergamot. It’s crisp yet gentle, like wandering through an orchard in late afternoon, where fruit hangs heavy on the branch and the air feels calm and full of promise.

Top: Bergamot - lemon - pear
Middle: Magnolia - orchid - rose - freesia
Base: Musk - dry amber - patchouli
