Since it was a Tuesday morning, it was pretty quiet in the area and we had a private class with Chris. Chris was very thorough, starting with candle and fire safety. He took his time showing my daughter the process, from pouring, mixing, balancing the smells and everything in between. He knew a lot about scents and what goes well together. The shop itself was really nice and tidy. Bonus points on the "secret" room that had some gaming stuff like pool table, mini arcade area and some board games. I say secret because the connecting door is hidden as one of the shelves. He let us take our time in the room that is actually an adjoining room to his shop that has its own entrance/exit door. We could have also bought food from next door and the shop offers drinks. They have different events every month. Really neat shop, close to lots of other neat businesses like coffee and ice cream shops.

I went with my son and some friends, and we all want to go back for a girl's night out. You get to choose your candle container, number of wicks and scents. They recommend choosing 3 scents and there are a lot of scents to choose from! They were helpful with helping us decide which ones went well together. The other side is a gaming lounge/bar with self-pour taps, which is pretty neat. You can serve yourself beer and wine after getting a card from the front desk. Overall, it was a fun experience and worth checking out if you are looking for something different to do.

Stop by before dining, and your jar of candle or wax melt will be ready within 2-3 hours. All of the plants are for sale. I thought they were decor for the store until I commented on how they were thriving and that I needed help with my black thumb. That's when she told me all of the plants were for sale. The sales associate was very welcoming and kind. I was window shopping and the alluring smells led me to purchase some wax melts since I was visiting with only a carryon bag. I had no space for all of the candle jars that I wanted to buy. My favorite scent is the Seaside Plumeria. In terms of value, scented candles are a luxury. I find these are slightly more expensive than Bed Bath and Beyond candles that I usually stock up on durin sale. Approximately $30 for a single wick candle could be deemed expensive, when you could get a triple wick candle for the same price. Would I purchase again? Definitely! My home doesn't smell like millions of other homes. Go treat yourself to something divine. You deserve it. It's self care.

At Wick, you can create and customize a variety of smell-good stuff like candles, essential oils,…read morereed diffusers, soaps, lotions, body scrubs, etc. We chose a couple of candles, a Reed diffuser, and essential oil dropper. Step 1 - Choose your scent. We picked oils from a choice of over 90+ varieties. For my candle, I picked Black Sea, Deep Sea, and Exotic Oud. For the reed diffuser, I picked White Tea and Yuzu. Mah Wife chose Cypress, Hotel Lux, and Sea Breeze. For her essential oils dropper, she went with Verbena and White Tea. Step 2 - Choose your vessel. As mentioned we both chose a candle, a reed diffuser, and oil dropper. We combined our chosen scents into 1 oz or 2 oz portions and poured them into their appropriate vessels. Step 3 - Wait. The candles take a couple of hours to harden and set, so we did some shopping and came back to pick them up. The oil dropper and diffuser you can take immediately. Step 4 - Enjoy! We love these scents and because we made them, those scents are not available anywhere else and are completely unique. Wick is a fun experience for a date night or group outing and would highly recommend.

It was fun and interactive and I love my candle more because I made it.

Yelp Elite out on the St. John's Town Center prowl looking for that next great review! Enters…read moreYankee Candle - a shop he's very fond of (but had not visited this particular store at this point), looks at a couple of displays and takes a couple of pics on his trusty Product Red iPhone XR - BUSTED!! The sales associate shared with me that the company prefers photos not be taken in the store. Yet when I showed my Elite identity on the Yelp app, I was freed from Yankee Candle custody and given the opportunity to make this excellent shop known to the Yelp users in this area! In all seriousness, I've appreciated Yankee Candle for this company's innovation and it always seems like its one step ahead when it comes to inventing new scents (seasonal or otherwise) and it's hard to beat the accessories it offers customers to keep those candles burning safely! I got started with Yankee years ago while looking for a gift and ran across a candle with an "ocean breeze" scent. My first became my all time favorite - though it's called "beach walk" now. For the Holidays, anything with evergreen, Alpine, cedar, and - I can't forget mistletoe! :0 are among my faves as well. Yet, we all have our own bests when it comes to the many scents Yankee offers. But I was a little stunned when I read that Yankee Candle, which had its beginning in 1969, has offered over 150 different scents over the years. I'm sure there will be many more to come! This shop is located near Nordstrom e-bar and the department store. Yes, Yankee Candle products do come at a seeming high cost depending on your budget. But Yankee gets a five-star review, not only because it offers stellar merchandise, but, in addition, it's always offering deals by sending coupons through email. So get on their list and you'll know when the best deals are offered! Your favorite scent awaits you! Elizabeth and a great sales team are there to greet and serve you! Make sure you don't forget to bring your Yelp ID! :D Recommend: HIGH

The service is wonderful and the sales associates are warm and friendly. The store is larger than some other Yankee Candle stores and has many great products. I am allergic to a lot of floral scents, they have so many scents to choose from, there is something for anyone who wants their home or car to smell warm and welcoming. Their candles are far superior to most candles on the market. The tarts are great as are the tea lights and they are usually on sale. I love the wooden wick candles that crackle when you burn them. They also have wall plugins and car scents. They even have room sprays and gel beads for small rooms. The vases and jars holding the candles are all wonderful and they have accessories to hold the candles which are great for home decorating, especially around the holidays. The scenterpiece items are fantastic! I am newly addicted and in love! I love the fall scents that fill up my home. The scenterpieces come in many unique designs that fit any home design. They also come in different sizes and have timers. The store is also great about accepting coupons, whether they are printed or are on your phone. Venture on in and discover a wonderful new scent, they have something for everyone, even the pickiest like me!

From start to finish, this was an incredible experience. This was our first time making our own candles and the owner was there to guide us and explain the whole process.

We were served a delicious charcuterie board and drink of our choice to enjoy while waiting for our candles to dry. My daughter had a blast and already wants to return!!! Great idea for a date night, girls night, birthday or just hanging out.
