There's a whole wall of different candle scents and there's an awesome list of scents that pair well together if you don't know where to start. I went with a more "clean bathroom" scent and found 3 scents that were suggested on their list. I love the smell of my candle!! Once you've chosen your scents, chosen your vessel, stirred everything in your vessel for 5-7 mins, and labeled it yours, you have to wait 2.5-3 hours for the wax to set. This called for a perfect day-trip walking around the shops in Portsmouth and we also had time grabbed a bite before picking up our candles and heading home. Also - they've got a cute gift shop area featuring local artists and businesses in the area. The 4 of us all had different approaches to our scents and were all obsessed. I'm definitely gonna come back when I'm due for a new Christmas candle!!

Wasn't the best experience. Arrived a bit late and were told several times, by several staff…read moremembers that we had limitied time to create the candle, and was totally rushed through the process. The staff was so worried about a party of 9 that were coming in at 1:00PM, that they could care less about our party of 3 that were sitting there. After finishing on time, paying, using the restroom, gathering our belongings and looking around the shop, we were out the door by approx. 1:20. The party of 9 still had yet to arrive, and I wouldn't be surprised if they never showed. Since no credit card or deposit is needed to hold your seat, there is really no committment, so I'm sure it happens alot. FYI: Just to be clear, anyone making candles on Mother's Day was offered a 10% discount! The owners aren't very business savy. Wouldn't recommend going.

The guy working made me feel uncomfortable and then when I picked up one of the perfumes he asked me not to touch the bottle because people have broken the glass before. I could see if I were a child that would make sense to say something like that but I'm in my late 30's and previously managed a store with high end delicate crystals figurines 10k and up. I also use to work with loose diamonds and gems.... I don't need to be told not to touch a $30 perfume tester bottle. It was odd, insulting and the first time I chose not to make a purchase.
