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!

My boyfriend and I attended a candle making class at Ambyance Fragrances inside of The Book Club…read moreoff of High Street in Downtown Portsmouth and it was one of the funnest experiences we've had. 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.

Great location with all the items you'd expect…read more I was lured inside by the signage for the fall scents and was interested in the new selections this season. There are some seriously cute ones for Halloween. I was almost immediately greeted by a friendly young gal who offered me a bag for shopping which I declined and she pointed me in the direction of the hand soap in the back left of the store. I found a wealth of hand soaps back here in about 40 different scents and styles with tons of old favorites, some newbies, and fall scents. Best of all, all the soaps were on sale for $3 the day I came in! No minimum purchase required! As I shopped another gal stocking shelves asked if I needed help and as I started to select a few soaps and stood holding them the first gal came back and offered me a bag again to be helpful in case I wanted my hands free. Once I'd made my selections I walked to the front where a very friendly gal rang me up and made pleasant small talk with me. Both she and the other gentleman working behind the register were friendly and we easily chatted as I paid. This was an excellent experience in this store and every single person I encountered inside was friendly and helpful despite it being later in the day on a weekend (Saturday). Kudos on a job well done!

I went into this location to shop and spend money. First, no one bothered to ask if I needed…read moreassistance although there were two (2) employees within eye distance of me talking amongst themselves regarding makeup they wanted/liked. They never once acknowledged my presence and they knew I was standing inches from them and their personal conversations. I finished with my selections and proceeded to the counter to pay. The lone cashier was assisting another customer and I waited patiently while she addressed her many questions. Another employee was behind the counter also,( not either of the two that were having makeup sessions,) and she was unpacking a box of merchandise. She turned to go over to the other two employees and looked at me but never attempted to ring up my purchase either. She proceeded over to the employees and joined in the conversation while I am standing in line just waiting. There were three (3) other employees in that store that day who never bothered to ring up my purchase in the thirteen minutes I waited in line! I don't usually shop in the store and now I remember why! Don't spend your money if you can find someone to take it at this location!! Horrible service!

It shares branding with Kohl's on the exterior of the building. There are two main entrances to the building. If you enter through the doors under the Sephora signage you will immediately see their store. it is no longer "opening soon" as it has been open for business for several months. The shelves are full of skin care, cosmetics, fragrances, lotions, nail polishes, hair care items and many other beauty products. The store is on the small side and appeared to have only one employee working at the time I visited but it appeared neat clean and organized. Staff was friendly and helpful. The huge parking lot ensures you will always have a place to park your car, truck, RV, tractor trailer, etc... The lot is well maintained and kept free of debris. Entering and exiting the parking lot is very easy with multiple access points.

I am pretty green when it comes to what all the different gemstones signify but she was very informative and took the time to help me understand each item I picked up. After I described what I wanted to gift her, we decided on the 7 Chakra bracelet, a piece of Black Tourmaline and two gemstones that signified clarity and prosperity. We both agreed it was the perfect gift for my friend. The lady was so nice, she even gave me sage as a free gift. The parking is limited and you have to drive around the back of the store in order to get to the parking in the front, since it's a one way. If you are into any type of incense, candles, gemstones or other spiritual items, definitely check this place out. The prices aren't too bad and the customer service is great!
