I was not expecting to fall in love with this store and its owners - but I totally did! I am super…read morepassionate about local businesses run by people who are creative and passionate. And that is Vania and David to a T. The first time I went in, my friend and I declared that we were "just window shopping" and we had no intention of buying anything. We had actually been in the store next door (which we wandered into after seeing their sign from Ashker's...spoiler alert where we had spent the afternoon lounging....but I digress....) Anyway, so we had no idea that Vania and David was there until David invited us in to check out the store. And I'm so glad he did. We had a blast wandering around, asking questions, checking out the leather goods and jewelry that Vania designs herself and much of which she makes in house. They've had a bunch of movie appearances so it was fun to see items from the store in the movie screenshots. I love people who put Buffalo on the map! Of course the window shoppers couldn't help themselves and we each bought something - my friend some beautiful citrine earrings and me a bracelet, which Vania customized for me while we chatted. Most recently I went in to buy birthday presents for two very special people. I told Vania what I was looking for and what my budget was and she was so sweet about helping me find the perfect gifts for both of my friends. And when my friends opened the gifts they were beside themselves in love. This is definitely not an inexpensive store. It's the kind of place that you go when you want something nice. If you want a chaka, go to the thrift store. If you want a piece of jewelry or leather that is also a piece of art, then check out Vania and David. And tell them that Kate the window shopper sent you!

I wanted soy candles in jars that could be reused once the candle was used. I also wanted candles…read morewith scent descriptions that made sense; for example, what on earth does 'Moon Beam on a Beach" smell like? After looking online I finally located Pure Integrity Soy Candles and made a large purchase of 8 - 16 oz candles. I am so happy I found this company, their candles are amazing. These candles are slow burning and last a long time, I have had nearly half a year since my purchase and I still have 5 candles jars unopened. I burn a candle 3x a week for an hour or so, sometimes more days, sometimes longer burn. I tend not to burn the candles for too long because their fragrance is strong enough to fill my house with these shorter burn times. Their candle scents and the cleaner burning soy do not trigger migraines (cheap candles can). I love all the scents I purchased: Lavender, Rose, Lemongrass & Clary Sage, Lily of the Valley, Lilac, Lemon Drop, and Gardenia. When I received my order, I received 2 sample tealite samples of their Honeysuckle Pear candles - which I loved. I love the fact that their candles smell like you think they should. Lastly, the 16 oz jar candles come in an attractive glass frosted jar with a wood lid that can be reattached with ease and securely stay on. Once I finish using a candle, I clean the jar and reuse e.g. small apothecary jars. Lastly, the staff takes pride in their candles - when they shipped them to me (across country - I live in Nevada) they carefully wrapped the candles (not one broke in transit). Moreover, they took the time to write a note of care and concern in a time that COVID is ruining our social ties and way of life. As long as Pure Integrity Soy Candles remains open, I will be making my yearly candle purchase from them - their candles are high quality.

Not to be confused with my cats, who have Purr Integrity…read more I don't understand the obsession with candles - they kind of give me a headache and I'm not a big fan - but I do appreciate that these ones are more natural and that they're made using actual good stuff. Perhaps some of the reviews are a little on the fake side but I do think it's cool and it's locally-owned, and I appreciate that so even though they're expensive, if you're into candles I think you're much better off buying them here than at Yankee Candle.

We went as a group of seven to celebrate a birthday party to the new location on Main Street in downtown Buffalo. It's nestled between some pretty nice small businesses and fits in perfectly here. The vibe is intimate, warm and welcoming! The owner, Tawana takes you through the scent profiles that you may want to use or mix for your candle. She's such a wonderful person and genuinely takes the time to get to know you and walk you through the process. Tawana was patient while we were passing scents around. The business accommodates gatherings and celebrations too! Since we were celebrating a birthday, we brought in light fare and wine and this is The Way to party! The space is beautifully decorated and has several spots for your instagramable photo opps, you get to name your own candle and purchase additional candles or wax melts in your fragrance, all while learning to make a candle. It All Makes Scents candles are vegan and they burn clean-no black soot in these! They have their signature candles and wax melts on hand for purchase as well. I highly recommend them for all your candle needs!

It is located near the Nike store across from Express Tees and Relax Spa. I contacted the owner via Google and she had a spot open for my group of 5 right away. I was so excited.

She poured us a glass of 999 wine and had some good music playing to get our candle making party started right. The class cost $40 and you also get 10% any purchase in the store. Was a really nice experience. Would definitely do this again.
