To get started, simply start smelling! With over 80 fragrances, we know you’ll find more than a just a few you’ll love. If you need help narrowing down your list, our friendly scent stylists will be more than happy to help. Sit down at the bar, design your own label and mix your favorite oils to create your unique custom scented home or body product. We offer a variety of container styles and sizes priced $16 - $52.
Candles and wax tarts take about 3 hours to cool before they are ready to take home. Most other products can be taken home immediately! While waiting for your candle or tart to cure, visit one of the many nearby restaurants, shops or do some sightseeing! We're happy to give recommendations on our favorites. You can always come back the following day to pick up as well!

If you want to pour a candle or tart and pick it up the same day, please plan to visit the studio approximately 3-3.5 hours before closing time as candles take about 3 hours to cool before they are ready to take home. If you don't mind picking up your candle another day, then you are more than welcome to stop in anytime before close to pour. We also ship!

Pouring a candle is a fun activity for a group of friends or the family. Some families ask whether younger children can participate in this activity. Yes, they can as long as they can sit at a barstool by themselves, squirt fragrance oil from a bottle that is similar to a ketchup/mustard bottle, and stir wax and oil together that is about the temperature of hot dishwater. Younger children can be entertained in our seating area with crayons and coloring paper that we provide. We do not recommend holding children in your lap while you are seated at the fragrance bar.
