In the heart of Dallas’s Design District, Malibu Apothecary stages a Halloween‑themed custom candle class that pairs craft technique with a playful, spooky atmosphere. Participants build a signature scent, choose their jar color, and pour an 8 oz candle of all‑natural wax amid themed drinks, candy and fog‑machine theatrics — all while learning fragrance composition and the differences between clean and toxic fragrances.

THE CRAFT

Design & Pour Your Signature Scent

Create a custom fragrance, pick your jar color and pour approximately 8 ounces of all‑natural wax; the hands‑on pour and fragrance‑composition lesson form the technical core of the session.

THE ATMOSPHERE

Halloween Vibes with Themed Drinks and Candy

Expect a festive, spooky backdrop — candy, themed drinks and fog effects — while complimentary refreshments and light appetizers are served as candles cure.

THE FINISH

Label Design & Fragrance Education

While your candle cures, staff walk you through clean versus toxic fragrances and the broader candle‑making process; on‑site label design lets you personalize your jar with a photo, logo or custom artwork.

What the day feels like

What the class feels like

The session unfolds as a compact, social workshop: arrive at the studio, sample fragrance components and sketch a scent profile, then pour your chosen combination into an 8‑ounce jar in a roughly one‑hour pour segment. As the wax cures over the next hour to an hour‑and‑a‑half, the mood shifts to a relaxed tasting — themed drinks, candy and light appetizers — while instructors explain fragrance safety and candle construction. Between pours and curing, you design a personalized label so the finished object carries your mark.
