Society is a charming candle shop in the Bishop Arts District! They have candles covering every space available in the shop. This is not a large shop and it was a little tight navigating around the space. The candles smelled very good. The service was good. We had a question for what appeared to be a pack of matches. But, we were enlightened to find out that they were actually incense, so when you lit the match it provided scent in the room. I thought the cost was on the higher side. But, when you are in a small business, you are paying for the artists services. The decor was artsy and mystic. I would definitely go back and check out new candles and their scents. read more

The candles here smell amazing! I bought several cards here - they are hilarious and clever! Loved that we found this shop - highly recommend!! read more

Love love love the cannibus candle. No it doesn't smell like Mary Jane but it does have sweet botanicals and an earth note all mixed in there. read more

I remember the first time I walked past Society, and the delicious scent of the candles drew me in. The first candle I purchased was a Fort Worth candle, and I have been a loyal customer ever since. The Fort Worth, Dallas, and Oak Cliff candles are my favorite! The throw of these candles is phenomenal since they practically fill up our entire home. I also love the other candle brands that they carry, and the staff at this location are always friendly and welcoming. Be sure to sign up for their emails since they have different specials throughout the year. You will not want to walk out of this place without bringing something home. Trust me! read more

This is easily one of the best smelling shops I've ever entered. The minute I opened the door the great scent just drew me into the shop. Upon entering there were candles, candles and more candles. I never realized there were so many candle makers. After making a couple of stops into the shop I decided I was finally going to make a purchase. As fate would have it I could not decide between two different scented candles. The staff was very helpful in answering questions (I'm a novice when it comes to candles). I asked what felt like a 1001 and questions the staff remained super friendly and extremely patient. And as importantly, they are not the pushy, sales-person type. As I debated my purchase, not once did I feel I was being pushed one way or the other. Needless to say, I couldn't decide between the two so I bought them both. This is just what I need; another interest to explore. Lol! In addition to candles I remember seeing scented oils and incense. There are other decorating items in the shop. Unfortunately I have not checked them out as I always get stuck smelling the candles. One final note to make that speaks volumes of Society and their customer service; a friend who was with me also bought a candle. At another stop she sat the bag on a table. Someone accidentally bumped the table causing the bag to fall onto the floor. Yes, you guessed correctly, it resulted in a broken candle. We stopped back by Society and explained what happened and without question they replaced it; no additional charge. How is that for service? If you're looking for a unique gift for someone, I highly recommend you 'check-in' to Society. read more

Society - Couple of my favorites - Candle Stores Near Me - Dallas, Texas

There's a few things I'm a sucker for... and this my friends is one of the coolest Candle Meccas I've stumbled upon... Step thru their front doors and you're transported into a quaint, dimly lit candle "pharmacy". Thoughtfully displayed candles and small gifts await. With the sexy cologne scented goods of Acquisse being my go to fav, was turned on to a few new brands and had fun shopping! Looking for a great hostess gift, a surprise for a friend or a lil somethin' somethin' for yourself? Why, step right in! read more

Need a gift? Give a candle. Need to make yourself feel good or set a mood? Buy a candle and light it. Can you guess my love language? Candles. I usually have at least three going around my home so I consider myself a wee bit of an expert. My husband calls me candle obsessed, not that he minds. Love, love, love this spot! If you are a candle junkie like me, this is nirvana. They sell things other than candles, too - incense, sage, matches. I love both locations equally, (there is one in Preston Center, too)! Both have a strong apothecary vibe that I dig. Candles are pricey, but the quality and scent intensity make it so worth it! Every time I stop in the service is friendly, helpful and efficient. My favorite candles from there are: -Any of the Texas Collection, but the Fort Worth is my hands-down favorite (think leather meets flowers, it just works) -Jackson Vaughn Peony - the perfect feminine floral scent -Any Kobo chandle My to-try list are the blackbird incense and the proprietary collection. Every time I try for the Blackbird Incense they are sold out, so that says something on its own. Do yourself a favor and swing by, you won't regret it! read more

The candles are great and the space is well curated but every time I try to go they are closed...if you can't have the store staffed for your listed operating hours then lessen the days/hours you're open. This has now happened to me 3 times and I've given up. It's very frustrating to drive 25 minutes and look for parking only to have the doors locked and no one in sight. The two times they have actually been open the people working were very uninterested and salty. read more

Great customer service and an array of sophisticated candles. Stopped in the Bishop Arts location and stayed for a good 15 minutes because I could not decide. The sales woman was very patient with me. Narrowed it down to select a candle poured right here in Texas. Will be back after 90 hours once Oak Cliff has burned. read more

Tried shopping today for items I needed, but they didn't clearly want my money or business, since they never unlocked the front door. There was an employee that set out and watered plants then went back in and locked the door. Website hours say 11am, I tried the door at 1130am, called twice and nothing. I drove away at 1207pm. Bad for business, no sign on the door, nothing! I'll go elsewhere. They wasted my time today. read more

Absolutely terrifying, we were watching a movie and the candles flame got out of control. We couldn't even put the flame out. Extremely dangerous we needed to use a fire extinguisher. Thank goodness we were able to put the fire out. Could have burned our house down. Moral of the story please don't buy these candles. read more

I want to drop so much money here. The candles smell sensational! I love the mix of different scents in one candle, jasmine + leather + sandalwood. LOVE I did not end up buying anything because I could not get myself to buy a $40 candle... they do say they last a long time. Very small shop, I was a bit cramped up since there were about 3 other people in it. read more

Great find! What an awesome little gem in Bishop Arts - and ohhhhhhh the awesome candles! Great selection - so much it is initially overwhelming - but take a deep breath - a deep deep breath through your nose and just enjoy. The shop is super small, take your time and absorb every square inch. The ambiance of this establishment is so different than a traditional candle shop but yet, so comfortable. Wonderfully unique selection unlike so many "shabby chic" candle store-wannabes - this one takes the crown! Their products have a wide variety of "burn hours" with candles up to 90 hours! Prices are higher than a traditional candle store but they have the merchandise to back it - you truly get what you pay for. Stop by, take a sniff, you won't regret it!!! P.s. Their "Dallas" candle - it js the BEST - an absolute favorite! read more

I was looking for something for my girlfriend and I walked into society candles and Julie came out of no where. This place is really small. She knew every candle and exactly what I needed. My girlfriend was amazed. Thank you Julie. read more

Hello Candle. If you are looking for a decadent, not overpowering candle for you or a gift to someone else I encourage you to go here. This small store front specializes in the local gift that will keep giving. Scents that are so beautiful, I keep telling myself I'll buy one for every room. Though the price can be high, these are 90 hours + burning candles and the design of each is a perfect gift for someone deserving. In addition to amazing scents they have a host of tongue and cheek cards, candle accessories, and other items that you'll want to add to your checkout. Truly an gorgeous company I plan to shop at for a long time to come. read more

It's fitting that an area with such a high volume of gourmet food would be home to such a 'gourmet' candle/interiors/gift shop. This isn't a spot to pick up a handful of unscented votives or a perfunctory hostess staple, no sir. Herbally and florally perfumed candles rest under glass domes - allowing you to steal a whiff of each flavor individually by simply lifting the covering (and simultaneously keeping other scents from overloading your olfactory). Unique decor adorns the walls and shelves amidst the 'middle of the woods' motif, and there's no escaping the personalized service since you'd be hard pressed to fit more than a half dozen people in the store at a single time. As with all artisanal goods (and namely in this area), you can expect to pay a bit of a premium. read more

Society - Candle Stores Near Me - Dallas, Texas

This is an incredibly wonderful place for many things for your home... But especially candles! Lots of fresh new scents and many choices for the candle lover! Their greeting cards are fantastic and they have lots of very clever gift ideas for the men in your life... I also recommend their brand new store that just opened in Preston Center... But the Bishop Arts area is just so much more fun to shop and done in... Enjoy! Cannot recommend highly enough - many of my Christmas gifts will be purchased here this year!! read more

Society - They wrap your gifts for you as well!! Great for quick birthday gifts - this is for my boss - Candle Stores Near Me - Dallas, Texas

It's a cool little scent store with homemade candles and scents. Very trendy and friendly staff. It's like a dive store and all of he smells were great, my only complaint is that it was really small, but that's kind of the point of being a trendy little shop. read more

Wow! This place is candle heaven! They have literally every scent imaginable. I bought a clean scent that smells subtly like freshly done laundry and spa water with cucumber. My husband bought a bourbon leather candle so his office can smell like leather bound books and rich mahogany. The associates were very helpful and gave us the history which was neat to hear about. The shop makes its own line of candles in addition to carrying a variety of other upscale brands. I feel like a fancy candle in a neutral scent is always the perfect gift, so I love that their bags are beautiful (no gift wrapping required!). Wide range of sizes and prices available. They also sell scent sticks and diffusers. The shop is small so you might find yourself a little squished if it's busy, but absolutely worth a stop! read more

You'll walk by this store and think to yourself, wow what is this place. Step in and be hit with so many scents you'll lose yourself for a bit. There are so many pleasant and soothing scenes here. The store has a giant selection of candles and incense sticks just to name a few. They are priced a bit high but the quality speaks for itself. One of many great places to stop by while in he Bishop arts area. Worth stopping by, taking a look and grabbing some gifts :) read more

Society is my favorite place to get candles. I always stop by when I'm in Bishop Arts or at Preston Center. They have their house selection but they also have a well-curated collection from other vendors. I love their aesthetic and their prices are reasonable. My GO TO candles are Guy Earl from their Jeremiah Jo Collection and Pickwick & Co.'s Tamboti Wood. I love experimenting with new and different candles, too. Society also introduced me to Boy Smells candles. I wish they still carried it. In any case, this is a great place to pick up a candle or just fun, random, or beautiful knick knacks. read more

Love! Amazing candle selection for every taste, any occassion, and any room in the home or the office. Very quaint and thee customer service ethics is top notch. I love visiting this tiny store and being lost in all the bell jars of candles! A must for all who come too the neighborhood! read more

Come in here just to get high off of sniffing all of the candles. They truly have some unique one of a kind items in here for home décor as well. It's a bit on the high end price wise but if you're a candle lover sometimes you know you have a pay a little bit more for the quality and intensity of the fragrance. The sales people are helpful and nice and it's just fun to walk around on a day that you are window shopping. Fun place for sure! Lots of parking in the area too for easy access but there's so much to do around here...hop around and make a day of it. read more

The most vast and diverse collection of boutique candles I've ever seen in a retail store. Every candle that I have gotten from Society has lasted months upon months and smells incredible. Very strong fragrance will fill up even the largest of rooms very quickly. I am a fan of the Jackson Vaughn lines they carry as well as Kobo and a few others. They have candle snuffers and wick trimmers as well as all kinds of oddities through the store. If you're in a pinch for a gift, they also have cards now. Very friendly service every time and a treat to stop in to on a rainy or sunny day. read more

A great hidden gem in Bishop Arts for candle lovers! Pick up each bell to smell the candle. Would be a nice place to get a gift for a friend or some long lasting candles for your home! Loved the set up of the store. Very beautiful and they have so many candles for you to choose from! read more

Used to come here all the time but had a weird experience where the only person working told me to "Wrap it up" so she could take a restroom break with no other explanation. I already had candles picked out and waiting at the front counter and was kind of in shock over the comment, so I purchased them and left. Emailed the owners because it didn't sit well and I would want to know if that happened in my business. They apologized and asked for my address to send a gift, but I never received anything. The candles are great and I'd had many great experiences there before this, but I feel uncomfortable with how I was treated and won't be back. read more

Even if you're not into candles, this store is a gem. Everything you see here inspires you. They also sell stationary, which I had to get my hands on. How they managed to decorate this small tiny space with such great flair is beyond me. If you're in the Bishop Arts District, definitely stop by. Sniff and see. read more

I wandered into Society while exploring Bishop Arts, and was immediately impressed by how beautifully decorated and utilized the incredibly small shop was. As I spoke with the woman working there - maybe an owner - it all made sense. Not only do they sell phenomenal candles, they are an interior design service. No wonder they did such a great job decorating the small space. The candle selection is fantastic, and I was thrilled to see them selling Sydney Hale candles which are made in my part of Virginia. They also had their own lineup of handmade candles with really unique scents. The only reason I didn't buy any is because I had to fly home the next day, and didn't want to worry about it breaking in transit. Also some great decor items - and a wonderfully modern rustic kind of ambiance. read more

Lots of different scented candles and you are welcomed to smell ALL of them! I came in just to browse but ended up buying one. The lady that helped up was very friendly and was very helpful! read more

Nobody is looking to read a review of a candle store, except maybe the proprietors. So hey owners, if y'all are reading this...awesome stuff. I stop in quarterly or so to restock. :/ out of my favorite #4 last time though. The peeps working are super weird but super cool. The prices are very reasonable. Great ambience. Can get very crowded if more than 3 people are there at the same time. I like the unusual stationary too. See ya soon. read more

Never ever did I think I'd see so many specialty candles in one place!! I love this little shop, I give it 4 stars only because it's a little bit cramped and I've never been greeted by an employee. However, I do like that I have some freedom to just kind of do my own thing with being pushed to buy. The candle options are endless, the atmosphere is cute and cozy and inviting. I love that they have the domes you can smell instead of the whole candle. It's a bit pricy but they are all soy candles and they will last a long time and they are specialty, this isn't bath and body works! My favorite part, THE MATCHBOXES!! Would be great for any gift or a small side gift to a candle! Big fan! read more

Absolutely love this cute shop and their unique candles. One of my favorites is the Dallas candle that is more masculine and smells like leather and figs. The Jackson Vaugh candles are a fave as well! Their candles make the best gifts and I love the fact that I am supporting a local business. read more

A totally adorbs place with some serious candle choices! I asked for "camp fire" or "woodsmoke" and was surprised there were like 5 or 6 choices to sniff... all different in style, but interesting none the less. I grabbed a couple and headed home. I like this store, it's dark wood inviting warmth and friendly staff. The card in my bag says they do interior design and a host of other things... you may want to check out their website :) read more

Great unique store with a friendly shop keeper. Each candle has a story and a unique scent. The interior decor is also on point. I enjoyed looking around and would have loved to purchase a candle but the price point was a bit high... $26 for a medium sized candle, which I just couldn't justify. If it were more in the $15 range I think I might actually buy something. read more

If you have a chance, definitely pop into Society and spend some time sniffing those glass bells. Yes, sniffing those glass bells - each candle is covered with a glass cover so you won't be overwhelmed by too many scents are once. Just pick up the glass bell and stick your nose right in there to smell the candle it was covering. There are so many scents to chose from so definitely take your time. It doesn't matter what kind of scents you like, you'll probably be able to find something that tickles your fancy in Society. Musky, piney, floral; there's a great "laundry day" candle, too. I would say this is definitely a boutique so be prepared to pay a boutique price, but there are some smaller candles for ~$10 if you're not into paying fifty bucks for a candle. read more

This store is incredible! I purchased several amazing candles from here on my visit. The warm and cozy winter fragrances are my favorite. Living in AZ, the FIRESIDE and Winter Scents really make it seem like you are in a cozy cabin deep in the Colorado snow, even when you are really in 115 degree heat. I purchased two for myself and one for a gift, which the store shipped for me. It arrived beautifully packaged in just a few days. The store is also magnificent to look at. The vignettes are simply incredible. I can't wait to visit again when I am back in the Dallas area. read more

Really nice shop with a many options of candles, incense, and other great smelling stuff. Everything is so expensive though. I will definitely be back next time I am in the area. read more

The candle scents here are so incredible! The shop is quaint, but perfect. Such a cool place to get amazing smelling candles.

Society has turned me into a candle snob. Walking into that store is dangerous because I want it all! My husband now gets me Society candles instead of flowers. I also love just exploring all of the little trinkets in the store. read more

Do you like Harry Potter? Steampunk? And... candles? Then you'll love this store. The decor is fantastic and cool, dimly candle-lit for the perfect ambiance. Go in just to enjoy the view! Love how these are locally made candles, and the location is great, in the cute Bishop Arts District. Great gifts for all! read more
