I walked into this store quite by accident, because I didn't look through the many clear windows or…read moreeven at the store sign before I walked in. The many scents that hit my nose as soon I opened the door hit me hard, but in a good way! I, at first, thought I was in a soap store, Candlefish is at the north end of Ponce City Market close to the parking lot. It's a nice, open, bright space, with welcoming and friendly employees. After I realized that it was multiple various candle scents that I was smelling at the same time, a smiling employee came to me, and told me to let her know if I needed any help and if she could help me find anything. I told her that I was just looking. After picking up a variety of candles, such as mimosa, pina colada, Bloody Mary, and others, and smelling each of them, the candles started smelling similar. Not that they actually did smell similar, it's just that the scents throughout the store were just overwhelming me. This was my queue to leave. I will most likely be back to take a closer look at what Candlefish has. The store smelled really nice.

I'm excited to do more classes with them. It is such a great activity. Don't be afraid to mingle with the other folks. Smell each other's creations.

Booked a candle session over 3 months ago for a group of 10. Spoke with Valencia the day before our…read moreevent to confirm everything. We get there the day of just to find out that the location is temporarily closed. We are told we need to instead go all the way to Mercedes Benz stadium to a temporary location. We spent over 45 minute stuck in traffic to get there just to learn there is no reservation. Valencia never communicated that we had a booking with this temp company who was overbooked and then Valencia would not answer and the phone number provided was disconnected. Seems like we are being scammed, especially for a price of $44 per person for only one hour.

I passed Grandma's Candle Shop a million times and thought why not stop in? Maybe they'll have a…read moreholiday clearance on some seasonal favorites. Nope, one peek and I quickly grabbed my phone (& holy oil.) It's a small store with the scent of incense wafting through the air. A stern looking lady (who was not my Grandma) stood watch over everyone. The first thing that struck me were the handwritten signs barking orders like, "Don't write numbers in these books. This isn't a library, books are for sale! No refunds. No mixing oils except Myrrh and Frankincense" etc. Ok... The candles clearly aren't being purchased for their beauty or fragrance. I was fascinated and a little scared. You can put roots on people and make them fall in love with you by burning a 'Come Back to Me' candle. 'Break Up' has the opposite effect. You can cast spells, get a miracle, rid your house of evil (Run Devil Run & Exorcist) and get Quick Money rich! There's also a Jinx Removing soap and Court Case shampoo. Prices range from $8 to $15. I asked the sales lady 1) if they were all the same candles in different bottles, 2) if "Grandma" made them and 3) if this was a voodoo/black magic shop. I mean the skull and cat shaped candles were a dead giveaway. The answer was no... And she clearly didn't know what the Pull Out candle was for. But she said she burned her Libra Zodiac and money candles. And you're still working??? She said they get a lot of African and Caribbean customers but it was empty. Probably because there were no Christmas specials (sad face.) There were gift sets. I left after I was caught snapping pics... In short, Grandma's is no Yankee Candle but if you're a witch or know what the High John Conqueror or Dragon Blood is for, it just might be your jam!

For starters, it's very laid back and relaxing so it makes for a perfect date, friend outing, solo date, etc. the music keeps you in motion while still being at a conversational level to enjoy either yourself or the person/people you came with. The other cool thing about Simply naked is they also offer mobile candle making experiences. I booked them for my baby shower so my guest could have a take home keepsake and they absolutely loved and enjoyed this non-traditional aspect of my baby shower! Overall, I would definitely recommend Simply Naked for your custom candle needs whether that's in their location or at your event. You won't be disappointed!

I tried the custom sugar scrub-making class with my best friend, and we left with soft hands and full hearts. Every part of the experience was thoughtfully curated--from the scent options to the shimmer and self-care vibes. It's not just a class, it's an experience. Whether you're planning a girls' day, date night, or solo reset, this is the spot. And yes, they also offer body butter and candle-making classes (which I'm already planning to come back for). Bonus points for being Black-owned, woman-owned, and so clearly rooted in community and creativity. Atlanta needs more places like this!

My…read morefriend treated me to one of their candle-making classes, and it turned out to be a really fun experience. Our class had about eight people and kicked off with a lighthearted icebreaker, which helped set a relaxed, social tone. You can also enjoy sparkling wine or sparkling cider during the experience, which was a nice touch. Our instructor clearly walked us through the candle-making process step by step, making it easy to follow even for beginners. One of the highlights is their scent wall where they offer 40+ fragrance options, so you can create a custom blend that truly fits your vibe. This is a great activity idea for a date night, bestie outing, team-building event, or girls' day out. They also sell premade candles, wax melts, and scent drops in-store and everything smells amazing. Highly recommend if you're looking for a fun, hands-on experience in the city.
