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.

This place is…read moregreat for gifts and souvenirs (and much more reasonably priced than the airport kiosks who jack up the price since they know you're a captive audience) from art to food to blankets and tchotchkes. They had samples of tea and coffee to try before committing to an entire bag which is pretty considerate. One of the workers was very helpful in explaining their coffee selection and how it was roasted. Yes, some items still have a mark up, but you're paying for the convenience of all the stuff being in one place. They can't exactly draw you in with a loss leader. I bought some Fran's Gray and Smoked Salt Caramels and I've been slowly enjoying them since!

MADE IN WASHINGTON @ BELLEVUE…read more Made in Washington is located inside Bellevue Square, and mall parking is free in any of the garages. I'd recommend parking under Macy's or H&M. There's usually plenty of parking, but on weekends it can get very busy, so you may have to circle a bit. This was my first time visiting Made in Washington, and it's a great stop if it's your first time in Seattle and you want to check out locally made products. As soon as you walk in, there's a lot of chocolate, along with kitchen décor, lotions, and soaps. Some items are on the pricier side, but there are also more affordable options. My mom and I found a lotion for about $14 that smelled amazing. They also offer plenty of samples, which I really liked. Overall, the value is pretty decent, you'll find some things you love and some you may pass on. The only downside was the customer service. No one greeted or acknowledged us, and it felt like most of the staff stayed behind the register. Despite that, I still had a great experience and would recommend stopping by if you're looking for gifts or products that are made in Washington.

I also love that it's made with 100% natural ingredients--no chemicals, no paraffin, just clean, eco-friendly wax that burns beautifully. The candle isn't only gorgeous, it also creates such a cozy, calming vibe at home. Definitely a brand I'd recommend if you want something special for yourself or a thoughtful gift for someone else.

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!

It smells exactly like the best honey boba drink ever. Of course, when it came time to buy a birthday gift for a friend, I thought about The Remonant and specifically made a trip down to get a Honey Boba candle for her since she loves boba and sweet scents. The full size candles are packaged in such a luxurious way with a black ribbon and a cool matte heavyweight cardboard. It feels so mature, even though this is a more fun scent. I could just pop this in a gift bag and be done since the packing is so nice. On the drive back, the aroma of the candle filled my car and I regretted not getting a candle for myself lol. It was a nice day today and so parking was kind of hard to find. There's a small parking area in front that was absolutely full. I had to park in a 15 min take out spot for the restaurant next door so I didn't get to chat with the owner unfortunately as I was worried about getting ticketed/towed, but it sounds like they are expanding their selection of scents. I wonder if they could get a dedicated parking spot for the shop? It might not be possible though, but would be helpful for shoppers. I want to check out their candle-making classes in the future!
