Dileesa started from a shared desire to create something creative and personal. I’m Dilano, and I’ve been working as a personal trainer for years. A true perfectionist by nature, always focused on details, structure and improving things. MJ works as a dental assistant and is the calm opposite who keeps everything in balance. Together we make a strong team both in and outside of work.

One evening, we decided to make a candle just for fun. We were curious to see if we could create something that not only smelled good but also looked special. It turned into a mix of experimenting, messing around and lots of laughter. Still, it immediately felt right. We jumped in and couldn’t stop.

We became fascinated by scent combinations, soy wax, gel wax and ways to make our candles look like real drinks. Think of an iced matcha latte or a creamy coconut dream. The creative process gave us both energy. Every detail had to be perfect, from the scent to the finish.

What started as a small project slowly turned into an idea, and that idea became Dileesa. We make everything by hand, with care and attention, from home. No big machines, no factory, just the two of us with lots of love for what we do.

We hope our candles add something special to your day. Something that brings atmosphere, a smile or a peaceful moment. And we dream of growing Dileesa into something big.

Thank you for being part of our story. That truly means a lot to us.
