The scents are absolutely heavenly. You can tell they put a lot of love into scent creation because the scents smell really premium. They sell candles with wooden wicks, hand sanitizer and linen sprays named after awesome New Orleans inspired things. Southern Decadence and Gris Gris are my favorite. I could totally see myself hitting up Wicks NOLA to get gifts for out of town friends. They would love these high end candles and their names. Months after visiting, and I'm still enjoying the wonderful candles!

I had purchased various of their wares at pop-ups or other shops over the last few years. But I learned from a friend that they had an actual shop (and while it is not open at the moment), they are selling from their website. Ordering was super easy and they have a nice variety of items. I like that you can shop by cause as well as by type. You can't actually smell the candles from the website, but the descriptions are really good! I also like that if you finish a candle, you can return the empty clean glass to the store for a small credit.

Krysten was spot on and very patient with all of my questions. The reading Krysten gave me provided clarity and answers to a situation I'm currently dealing with. I really wish I could disclose specifics but I want to protect my privacy. Let's just say that everything she told me was accurate. She knew things without me volunteering details. Krysten gave me a lot of hope for the future and I'm confident that I'm able to turn things around. After the reading, Krysten took a lot of time answering questions and she provided advice. The reading is not scary at all. Try it for yourself.

I felt that the prices were very reasonable and the store owner was very helpful. She helped me put together a Halloween themed gift basked.

At the counter, there…read moreare samples of all of the perfumes they offer along with a list of their names and main notes. A similar set up is available for colognes in the same area. Around the shop, there are candles, body oils, room sprays, lotion, etc. in select scents. At the back in a separate room, there are some cute clothes. The 2 women that were working when I popped in were friendly and approachable. I even overheard another customer come in who asked for help with identifying a scent similar to her current discontinued perfume and they were extremely helpful! They offered to let us try some scents on to see how it changed with our skin chemistry. After smelling for a long time, I picked up 3 scents: heliotrope (very warm vanilla), carnaval (fresh, spring), and mirage (honestly have no clue how to describe this, just that it smells delicious). I also looked up their website to see if I would be able to reorder and it seems that select scents are available, so it is definitely worth a trip in-person to smell all of their inventory!! Price wise, these are very affordable at $33/2 oz. of eau de toilette and $45(?)/2 oz. for the parfum. I would love to continue supporting this business for their stellar service and unique scents, not to mention the history of the company is cool.

The first time I came in, I was the only one in the shop and the experience was personalized. Honestly, I didn't like the majority of scents I tried, but I didn't give up and discovered Heliotrope. It's one of the best vanilla scents I've tried. I purchased the perfume and it's become one of my favorite layering scents. This time, the shop was packed, but I made my way around and tested out the fragrance oils. At first, I was unable to locate Heliotrope and a sales associate offered to make some for me. I absolutely love this oil! The scent is quite strong and long lasting. It's very moisturizing as well. Hove will always be a go to when I'm in the city of New Orleans.
