Craft Your Signature Scent and Pour

In the first hour you blend a custom fragrance and hand‑pour an 8oz candle of all‑natural wax, with your scent saved on file for easy reorders.

THE SOCIAL

While candles cure, enjoy complimentary refreshments and light appetizers (BYOB welcome) and design a personalized label—upload a photo, a date, or a note to make the piece uniquely yours.

A Keepsake You Can Relight

Leave with a custom candle and a newly crafted scent memory, informed by a short primer on clean, non‑toxic fragrance versus traditional alternatives.
