After wearing a perfume from here for a only couple of days, I've received too many compliments to count! The staff are very friendly and knowledgeable on the products.

There were multiple guests that just popped in to talk theatre and art. Really beautiful! Loved the experience.

I LOVE the concept here. Every ten weeks, they showcase ten new artists. Everything is for sale. I liked some of the art, and bought two beanies for my kids. Bonus: if they don't like them, I do. They were reasonably priced and a nice thick knit. The owners, Tom and Henri, are gracious, friendly, and personable. Their enthusiasm is contagious. The artists are carefully chosen, and the pieces curated and beautifully displayed. I signed up for their email list, and hope to return.

ScentElate is magical!…read more The space is cozy and small, yet vast and expansive energetically. The owner, Mo, and his staff are warm, friendly, and incredibly helpful in guiding you through the store's offerings. Incense, candles, oils, soaps, talismans, crystals, sage, books... whatever you're seeking to ground you, relax you, expand your mind, deepen your spiritual practice, or simply make yourself and your surroundings smell divine, you'll find it here. Mo is exceptionally knowledgeable about his products and mystically intuitive. He has an uncanny ability to sense what you're seeking, sometimes before you've even uttered a word. His positive energy, personal touch, and genuine passion for helping his customers are what keep me coming back. Take your time when you visit. Wander, explore, breathe it all in, and allow yourself to be drawn to whatever calls to you. It's truly a sensory and soulful experience, a little sanctuary tucked away from the craziness of the outside world. And make sure you ask about Lampe Berger! It's one of those if you know, you know products that I believe everyone should have in their home. ScentElate is the only store in the City that sells it, making this little gem even more special. I've been a customer since ScentElate opened over 20 years ago, and after all these years, it remains, hands down, my absolute favorite. ScentElate is one of NYC's greatest treasures.

Terrible customer service. My girlfriend and I walked into Candle Time at the Dream Mall, and the…read moreemployee didn't greet us, welcome us, or even ask if we needed help. She looked directly at us and then proceeded to follow us around the store without saying a single word. It was uncomfortable and honestly insulting. If you're going to follow customers around the store, the very least you can do is acknowledge them and offer assistance. We came in as potential customers, but the complete lack of basic customer service made me lose any interest in buying something. I don't understand how a retail store expects to make sales when customers are treated like an inconvenience--or worse, like they need to be watched instead of helped. Management seriously needs to address this employee's customer-service skills. Based on our experience, she was not doing her job effectively at all. I definitely would not return after being treated this way.

I went in aware that you can touch (or spray) the bottles, but I wasn't expecting the only interaction from staff to be to ask everyone who came in if they had been to the store before (a chance for them to tell you the rules, of course). No questions about what you're looking for, no offer of help while you browse, just general monitoring to make sure no one is touching what they should not. I asked perfumes were exclusive to Stele and was told "not sure but most everything"...and saw a ton of lines that are not exclusive. The stones aren't a very good vehicle to capture scents (probably why I've never seen them at any other perfume store) and the layout is by house without any general descriptions or information on the brand. The perfume details and pricing are on the back of the stones. Overall not somewhere to go unless you know exactly what you want.

You get to fully customize and hand-pour your own coconut and soy wax candle with an estimated 60-hour burn time. The process was really fun and easy to follow. You choose your vessel color first, then pick up to two scents to blend together, which they recommend for a more layered fragrance. They had around 27 scents available, including seasonal options, plus 12 vessel colors to choose from. They said that they do seasonal colors and scents. I picked the holographic vessel, which seemed very popular, and blended moss with smoky sandalwood for a candle I named "Twilight Garden." Everything is self-guided, but the setup is extremely organized. Each table has laminated instruction cards walking you through every step: choosing your vessel, selecting and mixing scents, measuring and pouring the wax, adding glitter and dried flowers, and finally naming and labeling your candle. Some people just drew on the naming labels and I thought that was such a cute idea, I may try that next time. The staff is there whenever you need help, and Amy was especially kind and helpful throughout the process. The space itself is very clean, spacious, and relaxing. They also have a restroom on site. After pouring your candle, you can leave and come back anytime before closing (7pm) to pick it up once it sets. They even trim and bag it for you, which was such a nice touch. This is such a fun solo activity, date idea, or group outing, and I love that you leave with something genuinely customized that also makes a great gift. Adding photos of the scent wall, vessel selection, and my finished candle because the whole experience was honestly so aesthetically pleasing too.

We were celebrating Mother's Day early this year, as per usual, because the idea of going out on actual Mother's Day is so unappealing. We had a 3pm booking and they were ready for us when we got there. It's guided and also self-guided at the same time. There is smeone there to help explain the process and monitor your process, but a lot of it following the steps at the table. It's fairly easy and not hard to follow. We managed just fine, because my sister had completely forgotten how it works. I ended up with a beautiful lychee white tea candle that smells absolutely amazing. I love that you can really customize it. The whole process took about an hour, less if you are efficient and also don't want to wait for your candle to dry. We did, and just chatted at the table a bit. Overall, it was a lot of fun and I would definitely recommend it as a group activity or even a date activity.
