We were in for a treat since Tom and Henri make this place exactly what it needs to be. A warm welcome, an artist home. I bought myself the fancy gallery earrings you do when you're on vacation and you get swept up in a moment. That's how you do when you have great chats! There were multiple guests that just popped in to talk theatre and art. Really beautiful! Loved the experience.

I went here as the guest of a friend for Kelly + Jones perfume launch thingy. It was REALLY fun!…read moreThis is a wonderful space. There are two levels, with gallery space and seating. I LOVE the concept here. Every ten weeks, they showcase ten new artists. Everything is for sale. I liked some of the art, and bought two beanies for my kids. Bonus: if they don't like them, I do. They were reasonably priced and a nice thick knit. The owners, Tom and Henri, are gracious, friendly, and personable. Their enthusiasm is contagious. The artists are carefully chosen, and the pieces curated and beautifully displayed. I signed up for their email list, and hope to return.

The scent isn't repugnant whatsoever. You can have sweet smells like their popular 'honey fig' but it doesn't cause a headache. The scent is so subtle but makes a very strong statement! I didn't expect the candle to smell so strong because of the natural ingredients but it is! This is by far the best candle that I ever had!

Located in Nomad, this Malin+Goetz store is modern and bright. Started in 2004, this skin care line…read moreis minimalistic with skin care, candles, perfume oils all of which deliver excellence. Now there are several locations and even sold in department stores. Last Sunday, Sniffapalooza held an event there. Karen Dubin welcomed attendees to browse through the collection and purchases could be bought with a nice discount. Jared, the store manager of both this and the Nolita location along with Amaya and Austin greeted guests with morning refreshments (the banana bread was particularly tasty!) and descriptions of the products. I have been buying this line for a number of years and was thrilled that finally the Otto candle was now in a smaller size at $25. This candle is fragrant with rose and geranium and wafts through a room leaving a feeling of being in a garden. I bought one and a small leather candle with a roll on oil. Despite the rain, several people attended.

After wearing a perfume from here for a only couple of days, I've received too many compliments to count! The staff are very friendly and knowledgeable on the products.

As stumble upons go, this was a great one…read more  it was late. The weather was nice and I decided to check out Turnstyle Underground.  While mostly closed due to the lateness of the hour, we (my youngest, lets call her "Sparrow") encountered a kiosk surrounded by group of people who were animatedly fawning over the glass jars of scented oils, soaps and skin care items on offer. They were listening intently to the utterings of the rather chatismatic gentleman whose passion for his products were palpable. His name is Yoav. He was friendly and accommodating and knew these products very well because, he and his wife makes them.  His products are handmade,100% ORGANIC products and he isn't shy about letting you know exactly whats in each product, which is AWESOME.  SWEETWATER LABS has this eucalyptus shower melt that smells AMAZING and can clear your sinuses or create that spa feel in your own bathroom. Sparrow chose the Sunshine Serum for her big sister, which is for spots and blemishes. This daughter, let's call her "Dayne", reports she notices some of the hyperpigmentation is slowly fading. She understands its a process but is happy with the results thus far. I bought 2 of his organic perfumes...Rose and Jasmine. They're beautifully packaged and smell really good. The scent lasts, and a little goes a long way. Stop by and check them out. I am DEFINITELY going back to get the eucalyptus shower melts!

The clays are a great way to see if a scent is worth your skin real estate with information on the brand, notes, perfumer, and price on the back. Despite other complaints against touching bottles, I do understand you don't want to risk dropping a small brand's tester. Plus, as someone who has worked in retail, it would be a full time job to keep them straightened (OCD much) It's a must visit every time I'm in NYC to see what brands are new and discover something new.

Two stars for the selection of perfumes which is impressive but I found Stele to be hugely…read moredisappointing. I went in aware that you can touch (or spray) the bottles, but I wasn't expecting the only interaction from staff to be to ask everyone who came in if they had been to the store before (a chance for them to tell you the rules, of course). No questions about what you're looking for, no offer of help while you browse, just general monitoring to make sure no one is touching what they should not. I asked perfumes were exclusive to Stele and was told "not sure but most everything"...and saw a ton of lines that are not exclusive. The stones aren't a very good vehicle to capture scents (probably why I've never seen them at any other perfume store) and the layout is by house without any general descriptions or information on the brand. The perfume details and pricing are on the back of the stones. Overall not somewhere to go unless you know exactly what you want.

Havent been in a long time!…read more I loved buying their products and scents growing up. The rose collection smells so nice. There was a small sale table that's 75% off. It ends tomorrow though. I ended up purchasing a soap off the table for $2.44 after taxes. Staff was kind to assist. Love how some of their packaging got upgraded. Great for yourself or gifts. Always deals and sales.

You can always pretend it is. I like Covered in Roses a lot as it stays true to form by not changing the fragrance. I still have the body wash and body mist that I use daily. The lotion finished and so I am trying out the new rose offerings. Each of these is in body mist, wash, lotion and perfume spray. Did I mention candles? Now candles are also made. Imagine an apartment filled with rose perfume and far less expensive than fresh roses.

Located on Bleecker (across from Salt Hank, if you want to be specific) Wick and Pour gives candle making classes daily. Note- It is BYOB! When you arrive you can go to the scent wall and pick the ones you want for your candle. I went with the fig because it was heavenly! We then went step by step to make the candles. It was almost reminding me of chemistry class in high school, with all the equipment we used! We had a wonderful time! Would definitely go back.

Fun experience a good activity for you and your girl or your best friend maybe even your partner…read more It's about a one hour experience where you choose your own fragrance; you can choose one fragrance or mix. You also choose the candle holder and color of the wax. It is bring your own bottle so that's always fun. They do provide the cups for you. It's just very cutesy very demure. I think I was expecting a more interactive experience. It is a very simple pour rack. Stir your color. Pour the wax into your candle holder and wait. Nothing too extravagant, but it is a cute daytime activity.
