I had no idea ! It had been years since I last visited, so I was really excited to go back with my sisters. Staff welcomed us, we got some drinks and had such a fun time sniffing all the endless possibilities we could create. Once we had our fave lists together and sat down to create the scent... I ended up not loving mine. Even with their help and some tweaking, I just wasn't feeling it at all, which was a little disappointing for me. I did end up finding a happy medium in the end.. and honestly I was having such a good time with my family that I didn't let it bother me anyway. BUT when I picked up my candle the next day... I was completely blown away !! The scent had mellowed out and smelled way better than the day before. Like it was basically what I was looking for ! I guess sometimes it's just like that. So if you're not loving what you made... just wait until you pick it up and give it a sniff then. I will definitely be back now that I have my list of favorite smells and cant wait to make another.

After two months of inactivity, I finally tried it with my childhood friend, and it was the perfect bonding experience. The vibes here are absolutely immaculate - definitely a great spot for a date (lots of couples around!), but friends will have an amazing time too. A special shoutout to Jordan (I hope I'm spelling her name right!) - she is hands-down the best person ever! She made the entire experience super fun and memorable. Jordan, I love you! Thank you for turning our candle-making day (my perfume making day) into something so special. If you're looking for a fun and creative way to spend time with someone, I highly recommend coming here. It was totally worth it!! :)

We had a blast smelling together, drinking wine, and coming up with the names and ideas for our candles. The final price was expensive yet the experience was worth it and I loved the candle I ended up making.

What a fun place this is to shop! This is a beautifully arranged store full of very interesting…read moreitems. The first thing that caught my attention was a whole shelving unit of different types of noodle bowls. Of course I had to buy one. On the other side of the wall was a coffee set up as well as a number of frozen drink machines which I think are called slushies. As I made my way through the neatly stacked shelves, I came across loads of international snacks, both sweet and savory. I couldn't help myself, but to buy some gummy candies, a Mars bar, and a bag of nougat candy. There are exotic Kitcat flavors and a number of candies that are hard to get. Compared to the international shop at destiny, these prices are much better. There's also a fairly long series of cases of different drink items. And since this is a smoke shop as well, there is also lots of smoking items. Their shelves of candles and also cat litter. It's strange but wonderful and you need to take a slow walk-through to check everything out. The young men behind the counter was especially lovely. I'm sorry I forgot to ask his name. This is a good example of shopping local for Black Friday. I got a number of stocking stuffers as well as treats for myself. I also grabbed an Asian pair. So random.

The shop is small, but it is decorated so cutely! Seriously stylish aesthetics. I especially love their flower wall, which they said they made themselves. There is a good selection of candles, many of which have sassy names like Cereal-ously Delicious and That's What She Said. I went with one called Momma's Kitchen, which smelled like warm cinnamon cookies. Candles were a bit on the pricey side compared to some other local makers, however I don't mind spending to support local for special occasions that require gifts every now and then. The staff was also very kind. Admittedly, a bit out of my range to buy regularly but a fine occasional splurge.

If you're looking for something other than the overly chemically scented, and often nauseating, fragrance from the shopping mall brands then this is the place for you. With tongue in cheek names like "Big D Energy" and "Material Girl" you're sure to find a scent that speaks to your personality. I purchased two large candles and some wax melts. The candles burn clean and even. And the scents are just divine! There's even a service to refill your glass once you're done with them! How cool is that?
