    My girlfriends and I had a wonderful time. It a bit expensive but the fun we had was priceless! We were greeted at the door and directed to our seats and asked to pick up a clip board. The greeter walked us through the process in great detail. We chose our scents and then met with Jensen who was assigned to us to help make our candles. She helped us pick scents that go together and helped make combinations. It was really fun to create your own scent and make a candle with it. She really knew what she was doing and great at it! The whole visit was a fun experience. We then went to lunch because they ask you to give two hours for the candle to set up. They said we could pick up another day too.

    Enjoyed a day at Dundee Candle with a few friends. Reservations are not required but recommended so we called the day before to book a spot. Luckily we picked a weekday so it was not very busy. Upon arrival an employee helped us with the scent process and the products we could choose from to make (car diffuser, body lotion, candle, room diffuser). After choosing the scents we wanted then an employee guided us through the whole process to make the blends and for me the candle. I really enjoyed this and thought it was quite affordable! Will return for another time with friends and it overall took about an hour!! Would be great for a party or group get together!

    What a fun spot right in the heart of Dundee. This would be the perfect date night! They have 90+ scents to choose from! You start out with a clipboard and find your favorite scents on the wall. You can also choose from the cutest container options (not pictured). Once you've got your list they help you pair flavors together. You then pour each scent into a jigger and smell along the way to customize the blend to your taste. Mix into the candle wax and pick up your creation the next day once it's all done. These would make such a fun memorable gift for any occasion. I love the professionally assisted DIY You can also purchase pre-made candles if you just need a quick gift.

    I had the most amazing time visiting Dundee Candle Co! Jeanne and Jensen were beyond helpful! I've done a similar candle making experience once before but it was nothing like Dundee! I loved how they were able to recommend scents that would go well together based off the options you loved most! You knew no matter which direction you went in that your candle was going to smell amazing! Since we did a private party, we were able to pick ours up the next day! They had so many options for vessels to phage the candle poured into as well. I chose a beautiful copper vessel perfect for the holiday season. I definitely will be back soon!

    During a recent Elite event, I took the opportunity to make an additional candle. For this one, I opted for the scents of white Christmas, fraiser fir and blue spruce. I love the ability to fully customize a candle from the scent to the jar. Shop employees will assist in finding the right balance of scent. I wanted to burn the candle a few times before writing a review and my thoughts are the smell came out amazing, but for me, I like a really strong smelling candle and I could have gone for a bit more. Next time I make one, I plan to ask if I could add more of the oil. I also feel it burns a little faster than some I may pick up at a big box store. But all that being said, I much prefer to support a local shop and have the ability to create such a unique candle.

    I have been dying to go into this shop since I saw they were open, but haven't had a chance until today! I'm so happy we finally made it in, even though they were going to close for the night pretty soon. The shop owners didn't mind, they still let us walk around to smell all the scents AND we were still able to make our own soy wax candles! My son and I made 3 candles all together, each with our customized scents we created with the help of the candle experts. You don't have to make your own candle though. You can also sell the ones that they make in shop too! I just love things that are made locally and stores that are local to the area. Dundee candle company is a really good place to go for an experience. For example, you can come make your candle or two then go out for dinner, and by the time you are done with dinner, you're custom made candle may possibly be ready to go home! It does take a little time for the candle to set to be ready to leave the shop. I also heard that they have birthday parties there! I'm thinking my child's next birthday party has to be here. It's such a great experience for kids and adults! What a better way to remember a special day or evening than by burning the candle you made that day! The experience and the candle scents they have is not the only things that are great at Dundee Candle company. The shop owners and the girls who helped us make are candles were also super awesome. They were patient with us (my son is 7) and super helpful for us to decide what scents we wanted to combine. Not only that, but it is such a warm and inviting atmosphere! If you don't want candles, they also have reed diffusers, wax bars, room sprays, lotions and hand sanitizers you can make too! This place is great! I feel like everyone should visit this place at least once.

    What a fun activity to do with friends! This isn't just your normal candle shop. On one wall were shelves and shelves of candles with scents you didn't even think possible (old books actually smelled like old books!). We had so much fun going through and smelling them all. The first step is to write down all the scents you like. The staff was very patient and let you take your time smelling each candle. The second step is to pick out something to hold your candle. The third step is to pick which of your favorite scents to mix together. The staff was very helpful with this part and even marked which combinations went well together. I ended up choosing Georgia peach, white tea, and vanilla bean. Then they have you make your own label with markers and have you mix the scents together. Then you can leave and have to wait about 90 minutes for your candle to be finished. The finished product was amazing! Our candles smell amazing, and we couldn't be happier with how they turned out. I love how personalized you can make your candle. Check this shop out if you're ever needing a fun activity to do with friends!

    Wow! How did I not know about this amazing candle shop in downtown Dundee? My daughter introduced me to this "not so hidden gem" and I will be back. Candles with scents from A-Z are available for sale, but what draws you in is the opportunity to grab a clipboard, pen and start smelling to create your own one of a kind candle. Using a clipboard customers mark scents that appeal to them--and then a helpful attendant will make suggestions for pairing scents. You then select the container, begin mixing the oils with encouragement to smell along the way until you get the balance that is just right for your sniffer. Wax and wicks are added, a little stirring and a personalized sticker is attached to the candle vessel of your choice. Reservations are recommended, a candle pouring celebration was breaking up as we entered and the group had clearly had an awesome time. Walk ins were also welcomed and encouraged to pick and pour a candle. Curing time is required so you can shop Dundee or grab something to eat at one of the unique dining spots. We opted to pick ours up on a return trip.....which gives me another chance to pick up a few gifts for the holidays. Crafting a unique candle for yourself or a friend is a fun experience at Dundee Candle Company.

    My hubby and I came in for our anniversary. First time here, next time I would definitely call ahead and coordinate something more personalized. The candle we made smelled so good and the girls were able to suggest good scents from our fav lists. We came in on a Sunday and they were about to close, so we came back for our candle the following Sunday. Supper cute place.

    Highly, highly impressed with this place. Last week was my kid's Spring Break and due to my surgery last month, we had to do a staycation in Omaha. We had gift cards to Dundee Candle Co. from Christmas so this was a perfect opportunity to use them. It's a cute and clean little shop nestled in the heart of Dundee. They had, I believe, over 90 scents to choose from. Each of my kids got a sheet to list out their favorite scents so we spent a good 20-30 minutes just sniffing. It was good practice for my kindergartner to write out the names of the scents on her list. What was more impressive than the store front was the customer service. Throughout the entire interaction, they were patient with the kids, calling them out by their specific names, and treating them with such a level of dignity in the process. There was even a few times they offered a coloring book and crayons to my 2 year old and a hot wheel to keep him entertained while he waited. So here's the kicker...these suckers are not cheap. The gift cards certainly helped offset the cost, but this place will still run you a pretty penny. If you're looking to buy a candle then you'll think it's pricey, HOWEVER, we took it as an entire "experience" and for that it was a good value.

    This place is so cute! You walk in and are greeted by friendly staff. They guide you through the process of picking scents you like and make a list. They then tell you what flavors/scents would work best together to make your custom scented candle. The candle takes about 30 minutes from smelling all the options to pouring the wax and essential oils. Candles take 90 min to cure but I waited to pick mine up a couple days later when in the area. You can make more than just candles. It's a perfect place for a girls night or date night and then check out some of the neighboring restaurants in the area!

    my custom candle :)

    This is such a great place for a date or girls night! Just went with my friend and really enjoyed the experience. Many scents to choose from. You can pick 2-3 for a candle and a great selection of glass candle "containers" to choose from. Very reasonably priced for the service. I will definitely go back!! I think a great idea would be to also serve wine or beer :)

You know what's better than being a kid in a candy store? Being an adult in a candy store! Because you have money . Had a nice conversation with staff, about candy. I like candy! I bought some chamoy gummy bears. Then I decided to check out the other side, which is bursting with color, too. Mainly things that used to be referred to as "tobacco accessories". And also socks, lots and lots of novelty socks, like a bigger selection than maybe I've ever seen. I don't know if there is a connection between these items.

    Anytime I read a review on Yelp and I notice that an established reviewer gives a place one star…read moreand then in a very short period of time after that a number of individuals with only one or two reviews to their credit gives the same place 4-5 stars, I immediately want to go and check the place out to see what the real story is. I'm naturally suspicious that a proprietor has enlisted their friends to provide a more favorable review in the face of an honest assessment, albeit perhaps not at a star rating proprietor would like. I wanted to do an honest review to see if the business owner was looking to Yelp for free advertising or if reviewer Kim J. was having a bitchy day. Having now visited the business myself, Yelp-gineering has never been more prevalent. The candles themselves are neither as awesome as the "one-review wonders" would suggest, nor are they awful. The candles are a little pricey, but they are also made by the business. Normally, I wouldn't give this place 1 star, but I have to object to people who enlist their friends to boost their star rating artificially. Actually, I am going to now start a business called Ryan, and have all my friends give me 5 stars because I think I'm fantastic. Sounds lame? Because it is lame.
