    Writing down which oils and bases we liked the most

    Smells Like Team Spirit!: A Whiff-tastic Adventure with Rica As you know, I take my reviews very seriously, and as such, I would like to share with you my thoughts on a recent experience at Black Phlox. Our experience at the perfumery today was nothing short of extraordinary. From the moment we stepped into the beautifully curated shop, we were greeted by a sensory feast. The smiling faces of Rica and her assistant Tasha immediately set a welcoming tone, creating an atmosphere of warmth and hospitality. The aromatic symphony inside the store was striking--some scents were subtle and delicate, others bold and robust, and a few sharp and distinctive. The combination created a sensory whirlwind that was both exhilarating and immersive. Rica greeted us warmly and guided us to the table where we joined fellow participants, a delightful family visiting Texas from out of state. Their enthusiasm added a communal charm to the experience, and it was lovely to share the process with others equally invested in crafting their own signature scents. 1: The session began with an engaging overview of the art of perfumery. Rica walked us through the structure of fragrances, explaining the interactions of base, heart, and head notes that together create a balanced and captivating scent. This introduction provided an invaluable foundation for the creative process that followed. 2: For the next 45 minutes, we delved into the hands-on portion of the experience, exploring countless bottles of fragrances. It was an intricate and methodical process: sniffing, wafting, and discerning the subtle differences between sweet, earthy, citrusy, and floral notes. Each bottle seemed to tell its own story, ranging from dark and mysterious to bright and playful. After much deliberation and a fair share of olfactory overload, I crafted a blend I was immensely proud of--subtle Vetiver and Negroni, layered with hints of patchouli, spiced cardamom, and grapefruit, grounded by a base of deep forest moss. 3: My partner, Caroline, chose a more refined and understated path, blending a Parisian cherry blossom note with the elegance of lily of the Nile. Though I couldn't quite identify all the components of her creation, I can confidently say it was both enchanting and uniquely hers. Rica's humor and charm elevated the experience even further. Her delightful personality and nurturing guidance made the entire process feel effortless and enjoyable. She ensured we left not only with our customized perfumes in hand but also with memories that will linger far longer than the scents themselves. In the end, the experience was much more than a lesson in perfumery--it was a masterclass in creativity, connection, and self-expression. I wholeheartedly recommend this experience to anyone seeking a unique and meaningful activity. Rica and her team embody passion and kindness, making their shop a must-visit destination for anyone in the area. 5/5 A true delight.

    Went to checkout their perfume/cologne making today-I have done the candle making which is amazing, so I was excited to try the perfume session! The experience was fun and exciting-getting to combine scents together and creating your own potion was a lot of fun! It's great for a date night, girls night, mother-daughter night or client event!! They also do perfume bars where they will come to you!

    THIS BUSINESS RIGHT HERE.....AMAZING! I LOVE! Let's start off with the owners, beautiful women... so inviting, warm, blessed, and funny. They made us feel like family.... Their story is so inspiring and you can't help but fall in love with them. We came here for our wine crew outing and did the perfume workshop! I love my perfume creation and it was so fun picking out my favorite scents. I didn't know there was such a science behind perfume making. They were patient with us throughout the entire process! I give this place 10/10 perfect date night, girls night out, mother/daughter date, by yourself etc. it's awesome! I will be back. I'm going to bring my husband next time. They also do candle making and I'm doing that one too! You must try it!

Not to mention that space is so beautiful!!! This made my our day & we want to give a huge shoutout to Rica & Tasha for their hospitality & customer service. I will definitely be coming back!

    Endless options and scents

    I attend a candle making class and had a sensational experience. I highly recommend. a big plus is that the candle that I created is absolutely one of my favorites and I'll be ordering another.

    I love the vibe.

    Loved the personalized touch!

    We paid for a candle session but we got way more!! We received an experience. We laughed, we talked, we danced and laughed some more. Rica is the best!! She is warm, welcoming, humorous and knowledgeable. She made it so easy for us to understand each step of the process. My friends and I are already planning to book again.

We came in late (due to the limited parking) so I missed the name of our instructor but she was friendly and knowledgeable. I believe it's about $55-60 per person and each person gets to make two 7oz candles. Personalized touches Include: scent choice and naming the candle. The scents here are great! It was fun exploring all the different notes and profiles. The class is about an hour and everything is provided. As a "student" you get to melt down your wax, smell/ pick your scents, mix scents, pour wax, mix the candle, add your wick, and label your candle. The process is really fast. The longest part is waiting for your candle to cool down/ dry. We were given an estimate between 3.5-4 hours. So plan your day around the area or come in the following day for pick up. Overall, we had a great time and I would recommend this to anyone who is interested. Perfect for solo date, girls night, date night, etc.

    Cute little activity for you and the gals!…read more You get to make 2 candles for 55+tax. Thankfully the steps were simple, so it wasn't hard to follow. Most of the struggle was picking the scents. You get a max of 3, and a little shot sized cup to pour your oils into. There's a coffee shop up front and several nice clothes/ceramics/other items for sale.

I've never been to a place where I wanted at least one of everything. The best part was how nicely wrapped each item was as part of the service when checking out. The store clerk took great care to show the value. The gentleman running the shop was a pleasure. I truly enjoyed the experience. Even gave a chocolate Hersheys kiss in a small bag along with the stores business card. This is customer service at its finest. I would want my operation running as nicely as this beautiful shop. Truly unique items with a variety of sections. Great for gifts.....and splurging on some self items. I saved the receipt purposely to write a review. It took me some time as I visited in September but have thought of the place over a dozen times since visiting. I do not write reviews often but this place deserves a hands down praise. The cashiers name on the receipt is Sysadmin so I am not sure how to thank the amazing clerk. 9/24/24 11:59 AM. I wish they had a shop like this near me. Pleased to see that I can order online! I will never forget this place, forever burned in my memory. If I am ever back in Houston, I will be back at Bliss on 19th! J. Chapter

    Well, where do I even begin? Today I stopped by Kuhl after leaving Target, and what should have…read morebeen a simple, pleasant visit turned into an egregiously disconcerting experience. Upon entering, I noticed a short Caucasian man near the Alabama Street entrance. At first, he looked like a regular shopper, but I quickly recognized him as the owner from previous store publications. What unsettled me immediately was seeing him peering into my Target bag, as if trying to assess what I had purchased. Perhaps he didn't realize I was watching him while he was watching me. As I walked through the store, the sense of being surveilled intensified. Every time I turned around, the owner was directly behind me. I also observed him on the phone, and shortly after, a man in a yellow shirt and khaki pants began following me as well. When I moved, he moved. When I paused, he pretended to rearrange items on the shelf. The behavior was blatantly obvious and deeply uncomfortable. To ensure I wasn't imagining things, I intentionally changed directions yet both men continued mirroring my movements. When I finally confronted one of them and asked, "Sir, are you following me?" he nervously replied, "No, no, no," even though the truth was painfully clear. This message is directed to the owner: Racial profiling your customers is unacceptable, demeaning, and profoundly unprofessional. I have patronized this store many times, and to be treated this way is not only insulting it is disappointing beyond words. PS: People of color spend money too.
