We were in town for my brother's ASU graduation, which happened to fall on Mother's Day weekend. I was searching for Mother's Day activities that didn't involve food (so much of the graduation festivities were ALL about food), and I came across Light + Bark. I decided to book a candle pouring reservation for our group of seven, and was grateful they still had availability on such a busy weekend. I've done candle pouring before, and it's been more of a private experience, where we had the space to ourselves. Light + Bark has a bit different of a layout ... the candle pouring takes place right in the middle of the shop, and felt a bit crowded at times for a larger group like ours. Even still, the instructors made us feel welcome, and encouraged us as we selected our scents! They even had free mimosas for Mother's Day, which was such a thoughtful touch to make moms feel special. The scent selection is expansive, and we especially loved the desert-themed collection. We felt the pricing was fair for the experience as well ... it's $38 for a small vessel, $48 for a medium vessel, and $58 for a large vessel. We ended up getting really into the scent mixing process, and had a great time smelling everyone's final products! The candles take two hours to set, and then you can pick them up at your convenience during regular shop hours. I'd definitely recommend this experience to anyone looking for a unique way to celebrate, and you could absolutely pair your experience with brunch reservations elsewhere in Old Town.

While I believe it was a little expensive (likely because of the area) it was to be expected. You get to smell as you go along because once you select what you want, you get the liquid that corresponds with the scent. It doesn't take long initially but depending on the time you may have to come get it the next day so account for that.

For some odd reason, they don't have all their products listed on their official website so if you…read morewant some of the other products I like such as their perfume roller, you would just have to get it filled up on the physical site. Candle Chemistry's value proposition is over 50 scents to choose from and being able to be hands on and mixing the scents yourself. There's a scent for everyone here. When I was here, it was clear that there was a lot of disorganization. I let them know that their website is still missing products and even though they said they would tell the owner about it; nothing has changed. It was pretty hard to get consistent service as someone would come to me and then leave me in the middle of servicing me. It was very odd behavior. Then there was an employee who was just kind of standing there doing absolutely nothing while the other two ladies did all the work. I got a bunch of perfume and a bottle of car diffuser. I must say that the diffuser didn't work at all.... I had it in my car for so long and no smell came out of it so it was a completely defective product that was a complete waste of money. At least the perfume rollers work. You get 10ml for $18 and the scents aren't very strong if that's what you're looking for but they are indeed nice. I'd definitely suggest better customer service (both in-person and online) and to only sell products that actually work.

What's amazing is that they have over 50 scents to sniff out. It takes awhile and there are a bunch of really cool and unique scents such as Fruit Loops, gun powder, marijuana, leather, pink sands, clothesline, creme brulee, fruit loops, honey crisp, and rain. The employees are helpful with suggesting combinations once you write down your favorite scents. I decided to get hand soap and the perfume roller. The scents are quite amazing but they are quite ephemeral. After reviewing everything, I realized that they lied about the prices. I got overcharged $11 so I'm pretty upset by being lied to and overcharged by a lot.

Stopped in here to see if we could leave the plaza on a positive note and we certainly did. The store is filled with a variety of scents for you to sample and choose from to make lotions, roll-on fragrance and more! There are also some great body care options like bath bombs, and other accessories to choose from to make a meaningful gift for any occasion. I remember as a kid experiencing a smaller version of this in Santa Monica and much to my surprise my 12 year old chose the EXACT scent I loved then as well. Out of hundreds of choices she chose "China Rain"!! Both ladies working there are VERY knowledgeable about the scents and also what dupes they have for expensive fragrances you would find at commercial retailers. Their enthusiasm is a little intense but all kind spirited and for the love of what they do. I think this is a definite stop for individuals and families who appreciate body care and customization products. It's a fun way to explore making personal scented items, support a local business and take something home unique. Thanks to technology and the internet, you can even order anything online and have it shipped to you from their shop. For those who are scent-sensitive they offer unscented products as well.

The layout is pretty standard, similar to other locations, so what really stood out to me here was the customer service and unfortunately, not in a good way. I've been to multiple Sephora locations, and this one was definitely not the friendliest. It took a while for someone to assist me, and when I mentioned that I've gotten tanner since my last color match, she still just seemed to guess my shade instead of properly checking/updating my profile. At checkout, the experience didn't improve. The person at the register just looked at me without saying anything, so I awkwardly started taking items out of my basket myself. When I asked about using my points, he seemed annoyed, which made the interaction even more uncomfortable. I also didn't receive any samples, which is something I've come to expect from past visits. Overall, it wasn't the experience I was hoping for especially given that this location is in Biltmore.
