Two old people go out for an event that they never thought in a million years would be available in their area!
Kelli D.

My husband and I met and married late in life. We are both now 60. We tried to do things together outside the box and this was recommended by a friend. My husband is and honorably discharged Marine who started in the Navy and he is always open to me bragging him to new cultural events thank goodness! I booked this for our anniversary and was very shocked that my awesome husband was so dedicated and involved in the instruction given by our Love & Make teacher, Kim I. Kim I was very professional, informative, and such a pleasure to work with. We also greatly appreciate her patience with two old people who showed up for this event! Our class was full and while we didn't have time to meet the other participants and would have liked to, it was interesting to overhear their comments while they were celebrating their own milestones in life. The value for this class is five star!

I went to Love and Make in Houston to try their candle making class and it was such a great experience. We chose the shorter class that is about 45 minutes to an hour long and it was a lot of fun. You really get to make your candle from start to finish on your own and the process is hands on but easy to follow. We tried out all the different scents which was so enjoyable and then chose the one we liked best. Our class teacher was very informative and very nice, she explained everything clearly and made the experience feel relaxed and creative. The shop itself is set up beautifully and the aesthetics are very pleasing. It feels modern, cozy, and welcoming from the moment you walk in. They even give you the option to upgrade your candle if you want something larger or more customized which is a nice touch. The shop is right in the middle of Rice Village so it makes for a perfect outing, you can shop or grab food nearby and then enjoy the class. Overall this was such a fun and memorable activity, the people are really nice and everything about the process was enjoyable. I would definitely recommend Love and Make to anyone looking for something different to do in Houston or a great activity with friends or family.

Perfume breakdown
Destinee R.

Took a perfume class as a late Mother's Day arrangement and thoroughly enjoyed this experience. This black owned brick and mortar is located in Rice Village- with ample parking and eats around the area. The building is clean, spacious and offers so many workshops including candle making, soap making and diffusers. The perfume class ran about 90 minutes and was so detailed. We learned alot about the chemistry of different perfume types and each tier of smells that make a perfume. There were ample options to choose from. It can be a bit overwhelming on the nose since we had to select 3-5 scents in each of the three layers, but they have coffee grounds to help you reset. We ended with a scent that contains 9-15 different fragrances, and the workers did a great job with measuring out each one for us to create our final products. It is also BYOB which makes it a great weekday hangout. We received a signed certificate, gift bag and box with a label for our final product. I love perfumes and having something that is 1/1 and built around my favorite scents. Can't wait to come back with friends!

What a great experience. My friend and I attended the perfume making class. We were given a short educational lesson on perfumes and then instructions before getting to work. Piecing together a scent special for yourself is so much fun and can be a little overwhelming. The staff were there to help and make recommendations based on what you were looking for. I was looking for a more sweet smell and Amelia suggested me adding tobacco on the base to bring out the sweet top notes. It sounded so crazy until I tried it! Thank you ladies for a great class. I've been wearing my perfume every day. They allow $60 refills for if you decide if you want more of your custom scent.

Everyone was really nice and Rachel, who led the fragrance making class, was so helpful. I have to come back soon!

My fragrant ingredients!
Lauren W.

This was an amazing and informative activity!! I can't wait to come back and make more perfumes, candles, diffusers... all of it. My husband and I attended a birthday event and had no idea what to expect. The scent selection was amazing and Rachel's instructions were clear!! Great date night, birthday event, special occasion, or simply just to do something different!

Alyson G.

Came here for a date night and had a great time! I've never made a candle before, so I was a little nervous, but the staff was so sweet and made me feel right at home. Our instructor, Gigi, was amazing. I was shocked when she mentioned it was her first class because she taught like a pro! She was so confident, kind, and patient. Picking out our scents was probably my favorite part (there are so many to choose from!) and the vessel selection was just as fun. The whole place has such a cozy, welcoming vibe. It's perfect for a date, girls' night, or even a solo date!

Process to make the candle

I will be back for sure for the perfume and cologne class. I took my lady to make candles and we had a great time.I definitely recommend and will book for my mom for Mother's Day.

Final bottles with what we named it

This was an amazing experience! We came here for the scent making class. From start to finish the staff was insightful and friendly. Upon arrival we were greeted by the staff and checked in. Afterwards we were sat down and shown where we can place our bags and we were able the choose what color bottle we wanted. We were given a lesson on how to make our scent as well as what the difference in strength of scents are from eu fraiche all the way to essentially a pure oil based scent. We were educated on the base, mid, and top scents and how they affect each other along with the time frames they last. They have an array of oil scents to try and they encourage you to try all of them to see what compliments each other. Throughout the process the staff will help with recommendations if you want for compliments and what would make your scent pop more. Once you're done, the staff helps you figure out the math behind how much of each oil to add to your bottle and how to use the dropper to measure out the amounts. Once you fill your bottle they make sure you get the best bang for your buck and you can add additional anounts of of your scent in order to tweak if you like it where it is or not. Upon completion you get to name your scent and they give you your card so if youd like to replicate your scent you can come back and they will make another bottle for you. This was a wonderful experience. I want to go back. This is a black owned woman owned business and they hit all the marks of what good business is!

Bree C.

The owners are amazing and the location is a space that welcomes your creative direction. The place is ideal for family or date night or to hone a craft or to further develop a hobby. This place will always be special to me. I ventured into it alone and ended up having some of the best one on one attention for creating a few masterpieces within these walls. Everyone who enjoys bougie parfumee should try this at least once!

Natasha R.

This was a perfect girls' night activity. Our host, Jayce, was so fun and clearly knowledgeable! We learned so much and love what we created! highly recommended!

This is my second time making candles, first time here. Unsuspecting from the outside, it's a cute little shop with plenty of seating and tables as well as shelves and coat racks for belongings. It is BYOB, but they do have cups, corkscrews, and water should you need it. The options are massive in terms of scents and containers for your candles; I love the option to upgrade. You can also have your items mailed to you. With 80 scents, the options are endless, and the staff are good as helping you create the vibe you are looking for. The major difference is that there were no options to color your wax for reasons I can't remember, but I feel like the other options made up for it. Beautiful place. Lovely, accommodating staff who also fixed my resy when I booked the wrong day

How do the candles burn? One time I went to a candle making class and the wick was only strong enough melt only the surrounding wax?

Candle wicks are usually braided cotton or wood. They work by holding the flame and melting the surounding wax. The candle's wick size should be chosen based on the diameter of the container. Some larger diameter containers may require multiple…

The people were very nice and welcoming and the event was well organized and communication was excellent! The venue was the best I've experienced any where. I've attended a lot of workshops and classes and gir in instructions and demos all students are usually tightly clustered around the presenter trying to get a view of what is happening. Even though I'm a taller person I'm usually unsuccessful and find myself craning my neck and bobbing around as those in front adjust their positions. Very frustrating! But not here!!! You have the option to do that or you can stay at your OWN 6 foot table and watch one of the 3 huge screens the demonstrator is projected upon. There's a W-ASH person managing the camera zooming in and out on the work or the pallet and sometime both. It works really well. And if there's a new tool involved sometimes the artist will demonstrate for fewer people again and again. The space is truly amazing. Parking was easily had on the street. Note: the elevator is out but is being worked in. The workshop is up one flight of stairs. oh.... and downstairs! there's a gallery showcasing watercolor works and there's a sales area too. Great place! so glad I took the effort to get there! And my work from the workshop didn't turn out too bad either! I hope to go back!
