What a really cool experience!…read more Private session for my friend and I to create and customize a scented soy candle. Personalized attention, great explanations and assistance. After measuring and mixing we picked the perfect vessel for our candle to solidify and were handed a label to name it. We were also signed up for the perfume class. There were fifteen of us present, good energy, nice vibe. It was like a science lab of scents and we worked our magic. We were instructed to choose up to six oils to mix into a beaker. We played around with the scents until it smelled like something we wanted to wear. We were directed to shelves of pretty perfume bottles; some included with the price of the class and upgrades that were not. My pretty pink bottle was an upgrade. When we received our perfumer's alcohol, we poured into our bottles, gave a little shake and came up with a clever name for our signature scent. I was really hoping the owner would pop in. It's good to know that we can refill each perfume bottle and candle jar at a discounted price. I named my candle "Priceless" because the combined scents remind me of my travel experiences. My chosen name for my perfume is "Journey" because that's exactly where each note takes you.

I really enjoyed the perfume because they had a lot of scents to choose from. They also had a really helpful diagram/sheet to let you know about like the top notes and things like that and how much you should add. We also had a guide to help us through the process, which was really helpful. As for the charms, it was so much fun! They have so many options that honestly, I felt overwhelmed but in a good way. They have silver and gold options. I really loved the bracelet that I made, but it did break like a week after for no reason, which is why my review is four stars. I was so sad about it because I loved my bracelet. Overall, I would love to come back here.

We walked out with personalized roll-on perfumes that we created ourselves. The experience is 45 minutes, self-guided but with someone available for questions. Christine (sp?) was really nice and helpful, patiently getting us to a place where we were happy with our creations. Some of the scents had either aged or cross-contaminated but there were so many options that we found at least three we each liked to create our base, middle and top notes. They also sell popular luxury brand-inspired recreations - some even nicer than the original. The candles displayed smelled amazing and the variety of charms available for their bracelet-making class options made us want to return. Though, it's less of a "class" and more of a "DIY" with assistance where needed. Having a coat rack and restroom completed the comfort level. Pro tip: check Groupon for deals!

It's such a lovely shop tucked away on Dearborn; the Monadnock Building's history is fascinating too that's all captured in its Wikipedia page. Field & Florist has niche perfumes and divine, custom floral arrangement services, but I came specifically for the latter; I highly, highly recommend them if you're looking for unique fragrances and/or florals. You can also purchase your own stems to make your own bouquet, but if you have an inspiration (yet are short on time), I highly recommend using their serviecs to curate a beautiful bouquet. You can also work with them to pair a fragrance with your florals - I cannot wait to be back in Chicago to stop by them again! If you enter from the street, stay focused on the stairs; if you need wheelchair/mobility impaired access, I'd go through the side building access (by Intelligentsia). All doors are heavy either way, so be careful there too. For floral arrangements: Let them know what your inspiration is and your budget, and they'll work with you. For me, it was Sriracha tofu and I was looking for something under $100; and the florist definitely came through. I loved how quickly they picked up on the white and red themes, and incorporated the The entire experience was extremely low pressure and its a very clam environment. They make sure to ask if you need a wet bag if you won't be able to get your flowers into a vase in less than 3 hours; that's an ~$10 charge, but extremely valuable for me as I was walking around downtown with the flowers for 3 hours and wasn't able to get it into a vase for another 6 hours. I do wish I'd picked up some perfumes - they had the d'Annam, as well as a few other niche brands, that I'd been eyeing for years. So, so happy I got to smell them at long last. In addition to the testers, they give you 2 samples when you make a fragrance purchase and they do up to 3 decants in the store in case you're having a hard time deciding. If you need to wait, I recommend stopping by Intelligentsia - in the same building - before heading back over to view, accept, & pay for your order.
