An amazing candle shop, full of exquisite wares infinitely better than anything on the mass market,…read morejust like ALL the shops of Carmel! The amazing scents plow you, of course, as you walk in the door, and the shop owner does helpfully point out the little bowls of coffee beans scattered about to help relieve the scent saturations so you can appreciate each candle. Candles in one hand and coffee in the other, and you are armed for shopping! Like many shops, they also featured Halloween displays in late September and no doubt continue this trend for all holidays, so you'll never see the same store twice! All types of candles as well - votives, tapers, standard block candles for arrangements, and many types of holders. Scented, unscented, glittery, melty, round, hexagonal - if you can dream it up, they probably have it here.

I love their variety of candles: sizes, shapes and colors. I…read morefound one hard to find. Every time I visit Carmel, I stop by

Erin is a new owner and wants to create more exciting designs in the future. My daughter bought a snail candle in the shape of a snail. She wants to be a landscape architect and loves the snail design as we have many in our garden. Please come by to support Erin!

For candles, tons of different scents to check out. An equally large selection of soaps and lotions as well. Everything is handmade and when you check out, everything will be nicely gift wrapped for you. The staff is also super engaging and helpful if you would like some ideas on finding something special.

And curbside pick up!!…read more I have really bad asthma and allergies and I only use beeswax candles because of this so I really appreciated that there was this store in town. Beeswax candles don't leave any residue and it's a natural air purifier. Add essential oils and you've got the best of both worlds. I've tried the candles, candle melts and the lotions and I've loved them all. Everything smells soo nice in this store! The candles last a long time but the candle melts last almost forever. I actually left some samples of candle melts in my car once and it had melted because it was so hot out, but good thing it was still in a plastic bag so it was fine. But it made my car smell soooo nice! I even forgot what that sample was but it smells like honey and some yummy goodness! So I got a little container and used that for my car freshener. It's way better than using those chemical laden car fresheners. Everyone who rides in my car tells me how amazing my car smells. It's been over a year and I still have it. I've been needing some more candles at home and so I checked if they were open. I ordered some online and sent an email because they offer free delivery if you're in Hollister. After I checked out online, I received them in less than an hour! I love it! And they wrap everything up like it's a present! I love the product and the service! What more can you ask for?

Ephren helped out our group and showed us how to get started since it was our first time making candles. He was very patient with the kids and took his time to explain things clearly. The wax wall full of different colors was amazing and so orderly. Everyone has a good time designing candles. It is a little on the pricier side especially once the kids started to pick out charms and add ons. It looks like a great place for small party and fun activity to do with friends.

When we arrived the aura of the place was insane! So cozy and calming. Bryan or Brian (didn't ask the correct spelling) was our facilitator for our event. When I saw he was spectacular, that's an understatement. He was patient, knowledgeable, charismatic and overall the proctor of a memorable experience. We had so much fun blending and creating our candles. Initially I thought this would be a fun one time only experience, but I cannot wait to come back to make something else!

I've done…read morethis twice before at other places, and compared to those experiences, this one felt disorganized and inefficient. There are only about 20 scents, which felt pretty limited. Since the scents were presented on small paper strips rather than in bottles, it also took a long time for our group to smell everything. Once we chose our scents, there was very little guidance on how to blend them. When I asked about ratios for base vs. top notes, I was told to "do whatever you want." If you're in the bay, I'd recommend checking out Florra instead

It's actually a bit overwhelming to be surrounded by so many many candles, all different shapes, varieties, types, etc. A word of caution: this store is not for those who are sensitive to scent--virtually all candles have some sort of scent. This is located in a charming old world feeling alley, named " ... Arcade." Many price points, would make a terrific gift, which is exactly what I did when I got something for my sister in law.

For such a small place they have a great variety, from neon drip candles and cute glossy bears to really elegant glass oil burners and soy candles, with plenty of Yankee scents in between.

Her knowledge is vast and deeply rooted in culture. If you're like me and you are very picky about where you purchase your spiritual goods, this place is THE REAL DEAL and not a place where you find yourself questioning the authenticity of the shopkeeper's spirit and energy. I love how this shop has an essence and acknowledgment of light and dark energies and that which lies between. That gives it a very genuine feel... you won't find that "good vibes only" type of faked energy here. You will find meaningful depth in every nook and cranny you look into in this store. Some of these items feel like they came from another time. There is the most incredible collection of Santa Muerte goods here. Also, the best veladoras preparadas. Good collection of minerals/crystals, smudging herbs, evil eye merchandise, books, string bracelets, bells, curandero oils/herbs/incenses/aguas espirituals, and tarot/oracle cards. Truly one of a kind place and you can easily spend an hour here and not even make it through one full aisle. They even have a gorgeous altar with candles in the back and they have a sweet little dog here also!
