Not only are the candles exquisite - the scents, packaging and message behind them all - but this is a black-owned AND woman-owned business. I was so happy to meet the owner personally and get to chat with her about her favorite scents. Thank you for the experience! Next time I'm in Norfolk - I will definitely book a candle making class!

It makes me happy that she's now on 17 where folks traveling through the county may stop in to witness the small town charm that both she and the store entails. The store is completely unique in itself. I used to go because I always worked on Saturday when the local farmer's market ran and I never could purchase anything from them. It's grown past carrying those products into something I appreciate a lot more! The peanuts, the old time candy, the cute decor, the jams and jellies. I always stop here on Fathers Day to pick my dad up some goodies. I've been coming to do this almost as long as she has been open. I moved away from the area but when I visit or pass through I try to stop in. My favorite mask was sold by Finley's! I get compliments on it daily! Even if you come in to say hi you won't regret it.

Neither one of us had any candle making experience so I was excited to see how the process worked. As soon as we walked in, we were greeted by early 90s Hip-Hop being played by a DJ which we thoroughly enjoyed. Once we made our inside, we were greeted by the owner of Ambyance Fragrances, Robert, who taught us everything we needed to know about our sense of smell and how amazing his soy candles were. We were given about 30 fragrance samples to smell before deciding on about 2-3 to add to our candle. Once we added our customized fragrance to the candle wax, we then added some dried flowers for decoration and selected the color we wanted for our candle. Since it took about 45 mins for our candles to set, we were able to enjoy the bar and grab a bite to eat from their limited menu while we waited. We also walked around and viewed the books on display as well. Overall, our candles turned out absolutely amazing and smelled wonderful! Robert has been in the candle making business for years and his candles are top tier. He is so inspiring and you can tell he puts his all into his art of candle and oil making. I definitely recommend booking this class for a Girl's Night, Date Night, or just because.

It is located on High Street in a cute neighborhood bookstore/ coffee shop called The Book Club. He is very educated on candles and explains the process very well. He has the stations set up on arrival and walks you through the steps. We were able to pick our flavors, colors, and candle jars. There was an array of flavors or smells that makes me want to come back and make more candles. He also came by and picked perfumes that complimented us. Let's just say he was SPOT ON! He picked 3 signature scents that I would go for all based off ONE conversation we had. 1000000000000000/10 recommend.
