Warm. Grounded. Designed to be shared.

Mini LIDO captures the smooth, layered character of our best-selling LIDO fragrance in a refined, giftable size. Grounded in sandalwood, musk, and cedarwood, it brings warmth and quiet depth to smaller spaces — calm, composed, and effortlessly inviting.

The sandalwood offers soft structure. Musk adds subtle warmth. Cedarwood rounds the edges with gentle depth. A longstanding favorite within the backhouse collection, LIDO is known for its grounded, polished character — smooth, inviting, and easy to live with.

Small in scale but full in presence, Mini LIDO is a natural choice for wedding favors, welcome bags, corporate gatherings, and thoughtful take-home gifts. It adds warmth to guest rooms, bedside tables, and styled interiors without overwhelming a space.

Each Mini LIDO arrives gift-ready in a backhouse canvas bag, finished with ribbon and a hangtag — creating an elevated experience from the moment it’s received.

There are many places we love in Newport Beach, but Lido is always a favorite.

It’s where you settle in with a glass of wine on the deck. Live music playing. Boats drifting by as the sun sets.

Boutique shopping in the village. Classic films at the historic 1938 theater. Evenings at relaxed, stylish restaurants that feel both local and elevated.

Lido is the kind of place you return to again and again. Casually vibrant. Effortlessly elegant. Unmistakably familiar.

That feeling — grounded, warm, and timeless — is what inspired LIDO.

APOLENA [sea salt]

key notes: sea salt, sage, ambrette seed

Our favorite mild fragrance showcases the beautiful complexities of sea notes. Composed of sea salt, sage, and ambrette seed, it evokes feelings of freedom and pleasure, like an enjoyable walk along Balboa Island on a beautiful summer morning.

COLONY [cassis]

key notes: cassis, bergamot, musk

Create a welcoming mood with this warm and sophisticated scent that begins with bergamot and cassis, developed over a white rose and musk. Perfect for a cocktail hour with friends or while relaxing with your favorite book (or social media site:)

GROVE [orange blossom]

key notes: orange blossom, jasmine, bergamot

Transport yourself to a grove of orange trees, with their tiny white flowers in bloom. This light but strong scent will take you there.

HARRIETS TREE [grapefruit]

key notes: grapefruit, peach, berries

A vibrant citrus fragrance that illustrates invigorating notes of tropical fruits, crisp citrus, and exotic greens. It is light and sweet, while still noticeable in your surrounding space.

JACK [pumpkin]

key notes: pumpkin, cinnamon, vanilla

A sophisticated fall fragrance with top notes of cinnamon and vanilla which intermingle with baked pumpkin, while graham cracker base notes add a creamy, toasty character. An ode to special times together as we begin the holiday season carving pumpkins into Jack-o'-lanterns.

LIDO [sandalwood]

key notes: sandalwood, musk, violet

This bestselling scent is warm and comforting, highlighting its creamy facets while balancing the sharpness of sandalwood paired with sweet violet and woodsy musk. Perfect for any occasion and any time of year.

LITTLE BRANCH [amber]

key notes: amber, sage, oakmoss

This captivating fragrance begins with hints of citrus and an infusion of sage that enhance the natural, earthy quality. Lavender adds a soft floral and herbal touch to the heart of this scent, while amber and oakmoss round out the base for a beautiful, deep character.

MARGARET [currant]

key notes: currant, musk, rhubarb

A sophisticated and playfully sweet scent with aspects of pink currant and rhubarb over a heart of white jasmine petals and musky base. A wonderful balance of notes will light up the room for any occasion.

MR. DOUGLAS [pine]

key notes: pine, cedarwood, fir

Our popular pine scented candle that makes you think “Christmas time”, with mild citrus top notes, earthy undercurrents of cedar and evergreen, and a woody, fir base. But for some, the scent of pine is a year-round fav, like taking a hike on your favorite pine tree lined trail.

PETALUMA [berry]

key notes: berry, pink peppercorn, rose petals

The tangy richness of freshly picked blackcurrant berries and lively accents of flowery rose petals create this light, floral, and feminine scent.

I needed a host gift for my boys

I needed a host gift for my boys who were participating in the Maccabi games. We were told that we were to send them with a host gift no more than $20. I had these handy and they couldn’t have been more perfect. They fit nicely in the suitcase they were in a little drawstring gift bag, and my boys were able to bring a little bit OC all the way to Toronto Ontario as a thank you.

I love this scent!

Customer for life!

Where to begin? My backhouse order has been a treat from unboxing to burning! Danielle goes above and beyond with excellent customer service, beautiful packaging, thoughtful details. My first order was a pleasure to unbox. It was so beautifully packed! The minis came ready for gift giving with a signature cloth bag, beautiful ribbon and gift tag. Seriously, how easy is that for the gift-giver? My favorite is Lido which is just about identical to Santal 33 at much nicer price. It throws the right amount of scent--not overpowering or headache inducing. I will be placing my next order for a full-size Lido candle and more minis for gifts. I may even begin my Christmas shopping in July this year.

Beautiful scent

The backhouse scents are amazing. I have referred several friends & customers to the web site.
I have also taken the wax from the tealight candles or the wax that remains after the candle can no longer be lit and placed it in the wax warmer. The scent doesn't change and my home smells delightful for a little while longer.
Scent is very important to me and and I'm so glad to have found backhouse Fragrances.
