The lady I spoke to, Laura I'm assuming, was wonderful and kind. No complaints. Unfortunately, I…read morecan't say the same about the store. Like another reviewer said, the shop interior is quite dusty. The blocks of melt and pour along the shelves had gone sticky from humidity and exposure. I also believe the fragrances were cut, if not old and faded. Most every product is at least 30-60% more expensive than online retailers like Bulk Apothecary or WSP. I'm all for shopping local whenever possible, but I can't justify paying nearly double for old, dirty stock. The convenience just isn't worth it. Not when you can order online and get my supplies in 4-7 days. It sucks to say considering how sweet the proprietor was, but the store is in desperate need of a refresh before I even think of recommending it to anyone. There's a reason why most of the positive reviews are from a decade ago.

Laura is pleasant and a very nice person. This store sells candles I can't find elsewhere.

I love being able to drop off old jars/glass dishes to have them filled with a new candle scent…read more There are some really nice jars that I have had for a few years and once the candle is finsihed buring, I bring them back to Urban Candle and choose a new scent to fill. The last time I dropped off about 4 or 5 to be filled and chose some really nice scents for the spring/summer. They fill candles once a month and once they are ready for pick up, a text will be sent out. I received the text while I was out of town, but I plan to stop by this weekend to pick my candles up and cannot wait to burn them over the weekend and over the next few weeks. The whole process is simple and the owner is super kind and helpful.

They offer a wide variety of scents but my favorite thing about this place is that they offer to fill a candle in any container! And old heirloom glass, a homemade piece of art, an old candle container, they will refill it at a very fair price! They continue to support local charities and always give back. This is an amazing business and great owners behind it!

Since I live over 2,000 from Belleville I checked Yelp. Unfortunately I didn't get the great results that others reported. I wanted an impressive cut flower vase for my friend. What I got was a few cut flowers, with no Baby's- breath, little greenery in what looked like a Mason Jar for over $50. Requested that my receipt be texted, was told if they did that ,that's all they'd be doing all day long. Not impressed I'll do W K next time!

This might be my favorite locally owned shop in St. Louis. The owners, Tim and Curtis, are truly something special. Transplants from San Francisco, they bring such a warm, welcoming energy.... it felt like an instant connection. You can tell they've poured their heart into this space, and it reflects everything that makes St. Louis feel unique and full of character. The shop is filled with incredible finds: metaphysical goods, candles, one-of-a-kind jewelry, scarves, books, incense, stones, and so much more. Everything feels thoughtfully curated and fairly priced. Definitely stop in to support this LGBTQ+ friendly local business--you'll be glad you did.

Locally sourced, hand-picked crystals & crystal necklaces, tie-dye clothing & masks - so much incredible artisanal amazingness! Even CBD bath bombs & soap for extra relaxation. It will be a real practice this gift-giving season to actually be able to part with any of the amazing products I purchase... we'll see!! I felt totally at home & inspired by the combination of rock n roll/earthy/artsy vibes the showroom exudes! For lack of a better word, it is just so COOL in there with a big claw foot steel bathtub in the entry filled with super creatively named & fragranced bath bombs, cool music playing & beautiful smells coming from the awesome staff in the back creating these gorgeous, one-of-a-kind products (comparable to LUSH, but with cleaner ingredients from what I understand & much more interesting, beautiful flavors!!) Side note: herbalist on staff! These products are more than just great smells, their healing power is totally legit. I esp love the "Magic Neem" bar soap for my fickle face skin. It's gentle & doesn't strip my face's natural oils. So great! Thank you!!! Xo!
