Such an amazing experience, and I can't wait to go back after my products run out!…read more I called ahead to see if this place required reservations, but they are walk‑in ONLY. I got there first thing in the morning with my mom and aunt to get started. We arrived on a Friday and parking was PACKED. We ended up finding a spot in a nearby lot, so if you have a certain time you want to arrive, make sure you factor in parking. Anyway, we made our way into the building, and a nice lady told us we could sit anywhere we wanted and gave us the rundown. You're able to make an array of items. We ended up making car fresheners, perfumes, lotions, and candles. You start off by picking your favorite scents and combinations. If you're anything like me and my mom, we are very indecisive, luckily they help you pick out scents and combinations they think you'll like. Seriously amazing staff! They were so patient with us to make sure we got the scent we loved. Overall, the process took about an hour, and depending on what you make, you'll have to come back after 3 -4 hours to pick up your items. When we came back around late noon, it was packed, so I definitely don't recommend coming at that time. Definitely go early in the morning or maybe a couple hours before they close. The prices weren't overly expensive at all. I can't remember the exact total, but I think I got around three items and only paid about $70. Either way, if I have more family coming in from out of town or just want a fun place to go with friends, I can definitely see myself coming back

I absolutely LOVE candles, so this is the perfect place for me!…read more Nice size space to see everything they have to offer for a fun short activity and hands on experience OR simply just to browse around at ALL the scents & delightful ideas they present. There are probably over 100-200 fragrances, so lots of options! Create your own custom creation (soy based) candle, plus make your own brilliant bath salts, body scrubs, hand soaps, lotions etc. It's obviously NOT just about candles here, it's the chemistry of how things tie together! We were pleased with our selections & personalized products. There are 3 location within the Phoenix area to make your tailored treasure come true! Note- Big groups, make reservations in advance! And- If you want your candle on the same day you visit; make sure you prepare for that & visit 3 hours prior to closing time to ensure you get your products so that you don't have to make an additional trip.

I was here for a birthday celebration, which Candle Chemistry is the perfect venue for it!…read more This is my second time doing this, so I went with an intention lolll - a candle and a car scent, that's it! The wall full of candle scents could have gotten me stuck for an hour, but I had an idea in mind, so I went for a combo of 3 scents. I was so glad of the outcome. At one point, I thought I ruined my mix, but our assigned specialist was able to help me recover it! Woot! The birthday girl and her family had so much fun after their first experience and they already want to go back! As far as the value, depending on what you want to make, it goes from $25+ per person, which is very reasonable for a DIY experience. Keep in mind that if you are making a candle, you'll need to wait 2 hours for it to set, so it's best that you plan ahead of time a day out for a lunch or coffee (or even shopping!) around the area.

What's amazing is that they have over 50 scents to sniff out. It takes awhile and there are a bunch of really cool and unique scents such as Fruit Loops, gun powder, marijuana, leather, pink sands, clothesline, creme brulee, fruit loops, honey crisp, and rain. The employees are helpful with suggesting combinations once you write down your favorite scents. I decided to get hand soap and the perfume roller. The scents are quite amazing but they are quite ephemeral. After reviewing everything, I realized that they lied about the prices. I got overcharged $11 so I'm pretty upset by being lied to and overcharged by a lot.

I was disappointed they don't do essential oils or perfumes. I tried one of the soaps this morning and liked it along with the body lotion. The tour itself was great and the house has so many unique features that can't be missed. The stories of the owners from different decades was interesting and our tour guide was engaging. Meet at the front door when your tour starts. There are a lot of stairs to climb- but this is my opinion and may not be suitable for those with a challenge. I'm glad my husband and I were able to manage them. It's a beautiful property and a great way to spend the morning or afternoon.

We were in town for my brother's ASU graduation, which happened to fall on Mother's Day weekend. I was searching for Mother's Day activities that didn't involve food (so much of the graduation festivities were ALL about food), and I came across Light + Bark. I decided to book a candle pouring reservation for our group of seven, and was grateful they still had availability on such a busy weekend. I've done candle pouring before, and it's been more of a private experience, where we had the space to ourselves. Light + Bark has a bit different of a layout ... the candle pouring takes place right in the middle of the shop, and felt a bit crowded at times for a larger group like ours. Even still, the instructors made us feel welcome, and encouraged us as we selected our scents! They even had free mimosas for Mother's Day, which was such a thoughtful touch to make moms feel special. The scent selection is expansive, and we especially loved the desert-themed collection. We felt the pricing was fair for the experience as well ... it's $38 for a small vessel, $48 for a medium vessel, and $58 for a large vessel. We ended up getting really into the scent mixing process, and had a great time smelling everyone's final products! The candles take two hours to set, and then you can pick them up at your convenience during regular shop hours. I'd definitely recommend this experience to anyone looking for a unique way to celebrate, and you could absolutely pair your experience with brunch reservations elsewhere in Old Town.

First of all, the value and pricing on the plants is fantastic. It's one of those rare places where you can buy several plants and not feel like you need to sit down and process your bank statement afterward. They also had a ton of great starter plants, which I loved. It's perfect for people who enjoy starting small and getting to watch their plants grow and thrive over time (or at least giving them a fighting chance in my house). The selection of plant accessories was also great--pots, tools, and all the little things you didn't know you needed until you saw them and suddenly couldn't leave without them. Overall, it's a really fun place to wander through whether you're a seasoned plant person or someone who just bought their first pothos and is hoping for the best. Great plants, great prices, and a dangerous amount of temptation for anyone who loves greenery. I will absolutely be back... probably sooner than my windowsill space would prefer
