Did you come here for a short review? Here goes: Lovely shop with lovely ladies! Definitely would…read morecome back! Are you interested in knowing what made them lovely? Here goes the detailed version! I was looking for some classy-looking thank you cards. I went to several stationary shops nearby : Anvil Cards, The Space Montrose, H.E.B (yes not a stationary shop but they sell cards), Whole Earth (somehow I was hoping this outdoors gear shop would sell cards), Trader Joes, and even B&N. Sadly they all failed me. Don't get me wrong, these are all fantastic shops for unique and hilarious cards (especially Anvil and The Space Montrose). They just don't sell what I was looking for. So I stumbled upon this shop and my oh my they swept me off my feet! For you drivers out there, they have PLENTY parking spaces for tiny cars and SUVs! First when I walked in, I was greeted by a lovely elder lady (sadly I didn't get her name) who asked me what I was looking for and immediately went to look for them. She obviously knew what she was doing, she zoomed from one corner to another and pulled out several cards for me. Then suddenly I heard little happy taps and low and behold they have a little lap dog with a red sweater named CeCe!!! CeCe will make sure to sniff your shoes and greet you as you walk in. The best greeter in town if you ask me. I proceeded to look around on my own because I like to explore. The ladies in store were very thoughtful and knew that so they let me roam. If you are looking for high quality cards, this is the place! They have 100% cotton cards, Downton Abbey stationary sets, embossed and debossed cards, quill cards, leather notebooks, etc. Also this would be a good place to get cards for your wedding or baby showers. I heard they also do personalized Christmas cards. Now if you are hoping to get a good bang for your bucks, this will not be the place. Before this store I got a pack of 50 average-quality cards for $10 on Amazon. Here, $10 would get you 3-5 cards. But you do get what you pay for since they are very nice paper and feel amazing when you write (especially with a fountain pen). I took photos of the 2 boxes that I bought. Both are very very pretty and I'm very happy with them. Also, they take Apple Pay!!!

There was a diffuser making event at the Briscoe River Oaks. The reviews I see online are…read moreoutstanding, so hopefully this was just a fluke. Literally there was one employee to run this entire event from Black Phlox. We were not greeted at all. The AT&T vendor was also present did and that person went and got us the little form that you're supposed to fill out while you're making your diffuser. There were times slots you had to sign up for. This was not regulated or enforced if you will. People took our spots and mind you our slot was 630 so you know we could've gone to dinner or done something else. I just feel the whole thing was a waste of my time. We ended up leaving because literally there was no greeting, no interaction, no direction and no spot available despite our reservations big disappointment. :( Sorry about the blurry picture, but there was literally nothing to take pictures of.

Dr. Rica, Missy, and Tasha are a dynamic trio for an immersive perfume-making experience. This was…read moremy second time visiting Black Phlox, where I learned that "phlox" is a type of flower, and I'm so glad I returned. The level of attention, detail, and guidance throughout the two-hour session is truly unmatched. My table included six women celebrating a "Spring Into Friendship" social event. Together, we were able to try 72 different scents across top, middle, and base notes to create something unique and complementary to our natural body chemistry. I loved the clear instructions, the pacing of the session, and the R&B playlist that felt like a sweet throwback to my aunt's playlist she used to blast on her living room stereo set in the '90s. One of the things I love about Black Phlox is that every visit is guaranteed to feel new. Each table is given a different curated set of scents to work from, so no two experiences are exactly alike. Dr. Rica even pulled out a few special "vault" scents during our session that included deeper, more intense fragrances that are used sparingly, but added richness and character to the final blends. The interaction with Missy, Tasha, and Dr. Rica made the experience feel intimate and fun, like I was hanging out with my cool, older cousins. Not once did I feel rushed. Even when I had a little hiccup while pouring my scent into the bottle, Tasha and Missy jumped in to help me correct it so I could leave completely satisfied with what I'd created. The pricing was more than fair. You have the option to upsize your bottle, and they even offer 50% off if you return and remake the same scent, which is something I've never seen offered in other custom scent classes. The value, the experience, and the meaningful interaction make this a go-to recommendation for me. The icing on the cake is that you get to bring your own bottle of wine and/or alcohol for just a $2 cork fee. They provide cups and ice, and the space is filled with good conversation, plenty of cackles lol, and community energy you won't find anywhere else. After our session ended, we spent at least another hour laughing, taking pictures, and finishing our prosecco. Not once did we feel hurried or unwelcome. That kind of hospitality is rare and speaks volumes. I also learned that Black Phlox offers interactive perfume and cologne-making stations for events like weddings. We had two brides-to-be in our group, and they were thoughtfully gifted in-house made candle wax melts along with their custom perfume purchases, which was a beautiful and personal touch that made the night even more special. It's a beautiful space built by even more beautiful women, and I love hearing their stories and seeing how they've turned inspiration into a thriving business. I'm proud to support Black Phlox and will keep returning again and again.
