THE CRAFT

Hand‑poured from start to finish

Every step is yours: set the wick, mix your chosen fragrance oils into 100% soy wax, stir and pour into a container you selected — with chandlers on hand to guide the process.

THE SCENTS

A wall of 100 fragrances to curate

The studio’s fragrance wall showcases 100 scents; you can sample freely, note favorites, then choose up to three oils to blend into a truly unique fragrance.

THE FINISH

Cure, collect or ship your creation

After pouring the studio holds candles to set for best results; pick‑up on another day is strongly encouraged, same‑day pick‑up may be possible under qualification, and flat‑rate domestic shipping is available.

What the day feels like

What the session feels like

The flow is direct and tactile: check in with the chandlers, roam the fragrance wall and jot favorites, choose a container, work with the staff to curate up to three oils, set your wick and drip oils to taste, blend oils with 100% soy wax, pour, label the jar as you like and arrange pick‑up or shipping while the candle cures.
