What the day feels like
What the Session Feels Like
The class is brisk and tactile: in roughly 45 minutes a Scent Consultant helps you select and blend fragrances from a broad palette, then walks you through the measured pour into a 14oz vessel with a wood wick. After the pour the candle must set—about two hours—so participants often use that window to explore Southdale Center’s shops, dining, and entertainment.
