From the moment we walked in, it was cozy chaos (they were busy, of course!), but Rebecca made the whole experience absolutely fabulous! We picked our scents, jotted them down, and chose our candle jars. Picking a candle name is always my favorite part! Rebecca was a total pro, giving spot on recommendations for which scents paired best together. I wasn't loving my top three picks at first. We actually ended up swapping scents from each other's selections, and it turned out AMAZING! The value is great for the experience. Our jars were just under $40 each I believe, but they have a variety of jar options starting at $25, plus a larger, higher value option for those who want it. Penn and Beech is perfect for a GNO, date night, or even a team building event with work. Fun, interactive, and totally IG worthy, definitely a Valentine's Day win!

I especially appreciated her interest/participation in smelling the combos when mixed. Would love to have her help again next visit! Looking at all the scents in the store, the selection could seem overwhelming! But you are encouraged to take your time as you pick out your favorites. It is worth the time to evaluate and see what 2-3 scents you want to mix up. Value: The experience is priceless! But to make your own candle and have a drink could run about $30-$40, and I think it was worth it. This place is perfect for a slow chill day when you need calming, or even a date night! I'm definitely coming back!

Such a cute place! Very, very cutesy. I'd say this spot is more chill than other candle-pouring…read morebusinesses I've been to. The staff that was there when I visited was pretty young, which could explain the laid back vibe--but they were all very nice, helpful, and super knowledgeable, which was awesome. Starting with the not so great: - A downside to this particular place is that instead of choosing different scents to mix, they already have them pre-mixed. For example, champagne and clean linen scents are already combined, rather than letting you choose and mix them yourself. Since it's structured this way, it does speed up the process, but I will say there are still a few pre-mixed scents you can mix together that would probably turn out smelling great. - When I went to pick up my candle a few days later, I was disappointed to find that it was damaged. Not sure how it happened, but I was shocked when I unwrapped it to discover it was chipped. Even more disappointing was that the staff wrapped a damaged item without mentioning it to me. On the positive side: - It's BYO food and drinks, which we loved. My friends and I brought a bottle of prosecco, charcuterie, and quiche to enjoy. Our server let us eat, drink, and chat before starting the candle pouring, which was perfect for catching up! - Parking is easy - Gorgeous vessels to choose from - Reasonably priced They also have a little gift shop with an assortment of trinkets!

They have a wide selection of vessels to choose from for pouring your candle. You first choose a vessel and the price varies. Then you choose your scent from the scent bar. As you wait there is a small shop to browse, as well as photo opportunities. Once we understood what steps we needed to do then it was simple and they walked us through the quick instructions. We return in a few days to pick up our finished product.

Relaxing because I was able to go at my own pace with the help of the knowledgeable staff to select up to 4-5 scents out of over 100 scents to add into my "pour your own experience" candle. Stressful because, how do I narrow down my selection of scents to use and what matches good with each other?! But I made it work. I think i found one of my favorite local spots for self-care time. The space is bright and welcoming, and smells amazing as soon as you walk in. It's perfect for a date night or small gathering. Plus, the candles are high quality with lots of different "vessels" to choose from that range in price value. Or fun thing to know, you can bring in your own vessel to use. One of my favorite parts was stirring up the candle to mix the scents to my liking, felt like a chemist without the labcoat though...goof times. I also found the parking to be easy and I would easily come back to make another candle. Thank you for a fun afternoon in Midtown Carmel.

The candle came in a hefty metal box that made sure it was secure during transport. The candle is elegant looking with it's matte, rough finish and simple decor. The pricing is on the higher end. I've burned it for an hour or so now. The scent isn't overwhelming, which is nice compared to other namebrand candles that you can only burn for minutes cause they're too strong. It has a light, crisp scent and fills the room with its aroma. Would highly recommend checking this local candle company out. Can't wait to try more scents in the future.

Yes, they do actually have little cauldrons available for purchase, but they also have lots of crystals and gems, books on yoga and wellness, incense and holders, oils, jewelry, clothing, smudge sticks, tote bags, a few foods and beverages and lots more. The retail store is small but they carry a lot of goods made by local craftspeople and purveyors. You can tell that every single item on display has been carefully considered and lovingly chosen. The place smells heavenly, the lighting is lovely, and the air is peaceful in here. It's a nice place. I want to come back and attend one of the yoga classes that they offer each week. They also offer meditation classes, sound baths, reiki and other services.

Has Richard lost his mind you're asking? He's not only reviewing a chain retailer, but he's…read morereviewing a mall retailer? Yeah, I may have lost my mind. But hey, Maya started it! The truth is that I'm a fan of Yankee Candle and I visit this particular location on a fairly regular basis when killing time before a movie - this means at least once a week. I've yet to find a candle that works for me as well as Yankee Candles do. I feel the same way about most of their secondary products like air fresheners (home, car), etc. Yes, they're more expensive. They're also very good. So, if I were to rate Yankee Candle solely on the basis of their product I would most likely be looking at a 5-star rating. LOVE their products. Here's the thing. I really, really, really hate shopping at Yankee Candle. While I've always found their sales approach a tad over-the-top, over the last few months it has almost gotten to the point that there are times I simply don't go in because I don't want to deal with it. Seriously. Here's the experience I have had almost every single time over the past few months at Castleton, including last night. I go in. I check out their specials and check out a few tables. I don't begrudge them the fact that within a couple minutes, someone is going to swoop in and offer service. That's fine. I'll typically decline unless there's a specific need. Yankee Candle has a challenging layout for strollers, wheelchairs and pretty much anyone with a big butt. While I've not broken anything in Yankee Candle, it's taken a conscious effort every single time I'm in there and I've sure had some close calls and have tipped over smaller items before. I realize inventory is important, especially in a high profile location like Castleton, but it would be nice to have some room to get around. A few months ago, they really began pushing their e-mail advertising and their rewards club. How do I know this? They push it every single time. When you buy at Yankee Candle, you're not just committing to the sale but committing to the journey toward the sale. Seriously. "Do you want a wick trimmer?" "No, thank you." "Five minute lecture on why wick trimmers are awesome" while they casually roll your candle up in tissue paper, a courtesy that these days feels more like a sales ploy. "Can I get your phone number?" "Phone number given." "Can I get your e-mail?" Silently thinking "You can't look it up by phone number? This is 2016, after all." I've asked. They apparently hired an IOT department straight out of their local community college (Sorry to all you community college grads - no slam on you intended). If you decline an e-mail, you get a five-minute lecture on why their e-mails are awesome. Because, after all, EVERYTHING is awesome. "Are you a member of our rewards club?" "I have no idea. You've lectured me into a drunken stupor now." I'm sitting here thinking "Why didn't I go to White Barn? They actually sell you candles without the lecture." "Three minute lecture on why the rewards club is awesome - $5 gift card after $100 spent. For the record, that's not awesome and it's not worth the amount of my time you kill with every sale. If you're lucky, your products, even if you only have one, will be ready to go by the time they get through all the lectures. If not, you get another lecture on an upcoming sale or changing products. EVERY single time. I mean, heck, last night they even acknowledged that I was a regular but felt the need to give me every single lecture. There are now times I don't go in simply because I don't have the time to commit to the entire journey. OH sure, I could probably be rude and cut them all off (and have). I've also simply left if it got overbearing (Do you hear that Yankee Candle? You've lost sales because of this current dreadful sales approach). The painful conclusion, at least for me, is that I love Yankee Candle products but hate the experience of shopping there. While I've been hesitant to switch over to shopping online, it may prove to be the best option because Yankee Candle, at least this location, crosses the line from good customer service into the realm of almost stalkerish tendencies with a hard-sell approach that betrays the very essence of what folks like about Yankee Candle.

The staff was very friendly when i cam into the store and talked to me about what i wanted. They did kind of leave me to fill out the engraving form by myself and didn't explain to me the fonts and what they look like on different surfaces but i managed. While waiting to checkout i decided to buy a new flask and have it engraved as well. I can see spending a little time walking through there one could easily spend a lot of money buying nick nacks and what nots and having them engraved for gifts. Not all the items in there were quality made and I'm sure none made in the USA (but what is anymore). I think that was my only downer was the quality of the items. But not everyone is buying the items and may just be getting something engraved. The engraving is done digitally and you are warned about the possible damage of your item. (this is done because the machine could malfunction and damage your item...if you don't want to take the chance i would recommend having someone do it by hand, which is also much more expensive) They can do them in a 24 hour turn around but i chose to wait until after the weekend rush to get up to Castelton. My items were done just the way i asked with no damage and were ready when i came to get them. I would definitely come back here for any future engravings.
