He made the whole process a blast, walking us through each step with energy and enthusiasm that kept things fun and easy to follow. Even while assisting multiple guests at once, he made sure we always felt supported and never left waiting. Once you're familiar with the process, you'll select a vessel and explore 30+ scent options displayed along a scent wall. The team helps you discover which fragrances blend well together to create your ideal combination. This is where Mikey's expertise really shined! He suggested scents I hadn't considered, and they worked beautifully with my favorite scents. After creating your perfect scent ratio, the oils are blended into wax, and left to set for 2-3 hours. Prices were comparable to other handmade candles you find at farmers markets, plus ELM uses a coconut apricot wax. Be sure to book a reservation, they fill up quick!

I know Elm Candle through work and remembered some of my work colleagues coming here to do a team bonding event. My girl friend was turning 30 and said she would be doing a birthday activity here! Our scent specialist, Mikey was super helpful! They had everything prepared for our ladies to partake in the session and the instructions were on the card which was super cute since it also had a 'Thank You' at the back in support of their small business. You put your name and select which item you want to make. I chose a room spray since I have SO MANY candles at home! Mikey had us choose which container (room spray only had one kind) but candles had a variety. I wanted to make the reed diffuser initially but they were sold out! Next, they had a variety of scents on the wall so you could write those on your card and star your faves! Coffee beans were provided to help with your nose since you smell so many scents! Mikey was so patient with all of us and walked us through the process! I was super pleased with my scents. He evaluated each of our cards, asked us what kinds of scents we are into, and then gathered 3-4 essential oils to smell -- you can mix and match. You can omit one or add another depending on your preferences. We left with cute little bags! It was such a wonderful experience! It's a little pricey but definitely worth it.

The wooden wick produces a nice light flicker and slight crackle. The clean wax burns evenly. The recycled glass container is easy to clean and re-purpose after the candle is done. I use the clean and empty glass for all kinds of things - pens and pencils, herb containers, catchalls, tablescape decorations, and even elevated gifts for others. Whether we are talking about marketplace candles, or the newer perfume lines, the scents are sophisticated and delicious. Some of my favorite S&T products are the holiday lines, like the Fall 2023 skeleton candles in pumpkin chai, the Holiday/Christmas greenery scents (this year with a G&T inspired offering!), and the just released winter perfume candle called après ski. I have gotten so many compliments on my S&T La Mia Muse silk scarf and furoshiki wraps, and I cannot wait for colder temps, so that I can slip in to the luxurious unisex après ski holiday sweatshirt. Highly recommend. Excited to see what new things Desiree, Michaela, and their team dream up for us! Please join me in supporting this planet friendly, women-owned, small business.

The concept of candle making is an amazing way to spend a special occasion. I also enjoy their pre-made candles as well as the other products that they sell in collaboration with local creators, like the body oil that smells amazing! This review is solely for my most recent candle making experience. I brought my sister for her big 13th birthday, along with her 5 other friends. Their candle vessels start at $10 for a mini, so there are affordable options. They go through the same process every time, explaining how to sniff and pass each scent, record your favorites, and then get time to mix scents before pouring. Each time I've gone, there were different workers. The ones that were working this time around didn't seem like they wanted to be there and although they weren't rude, they also weren't exactly friendly or welcoming towards any of us. I'll be trying out the other candle making place next time but Noir still has a special place in my heart!

We're always looking for something different to do instead of the usual dinner-and-a-movie routine, and this totally delivered. Vanessa and Jon made us feel like we were hanging out with friends who just happen to be candle experts. Jon's storytelling at the beginning was unexpectedly immersive he took us through the history of candles with this meditation that actually got me relaxed and present. Then Vanessa shared her story about starting Pumarosa, and you could feel how much heart she's put into this business, honoring her mom and her time in Venezuela under a Pumarosa tree, where those cherished memories began. The hands-on part was so fun. Smelling all the different scents and trying to pick just three was tough because they're all really, really good. My husband and I chose completely different combinations, which made sense for our personalities. Pouring the wax and getting the technique right felt like a little accomplishment, and now we have these custom candles that we actually made ourselves. I went back two weeks later to pick them up (you can also have them shipped), and of course I grabbed a few more. Vanilla, Cashmere, and Eucalyptus are my go-tos now. Whether you're celebrating something or just want to try something new and creative, I can't recommend this enough. It's thoughtful, hands-on, and honestly just a really nice way to spend an evening. Thanks for everything, Vanessa and Jon!
