What's amazing is that they have over 50 scents to sniff out. It takes awhile and there are a bunch of really cool and unique scents such as Fruit Loops, gun powder, marijuana, leather, pink sands, clothesline, creme brulee, fruit loops, honey crisp, and rain. The employees are helpful with suggesting combinations once you write down your favorite scents. I decided to get hand soap and the perfume roller. The scents are quite amazing but they are quite ephemeral. After reviewing everything, I realized that they lied about the prices. I got overcharged $11 so I'm pretty upset by being lied to and overcharged by a lot.

We were in town for my brother's ASU graduation, which happened to fall on Mother's Day weekend. I was searching for Mother's Day activities that didn't involve food (so much of the graduation festivities were ALL about food), and I came across Light + Bark. I decided to book a candle pouring reservation for our group of seven, and was grateful they still had availability on such a busy weekend. I've done candle pouring before, and it's been more of a private experience, where we had the space to ourselves. Light + Bark has a bit different of a layout ... the candle pouring takes place right in the middle of the shop, and felt a bit crowded at times for a larger group like ours. Even still, the instructors made us feel welcome, and encouraged us as we selected our scents! They even had free mimosas for Mother's Day, which was such a thoughtful touch to make moms feel special. The scent selection is expansive, and we especially loved the desert-themed collection. We felt the pricing was fair for the experience as well ... it's $38 for a small vessel, $48 for a medium vessel, and $58 for a large vessel. We ended up getting really into the scent mixing process, and had a great time smelling everyone's final products! The candles take two hours to set, and then you can pick them up at your convenience during regular shop hours. I'd definitely recommend this experience to anyone looking for a unique way to celebrate, and you could absolutely pair your experience with brunch reservations elsewhere in Old Town.

While I believe it was a little expensive (likely because of the area) it was to be expected. You get to smell as you go along because once you select what you want, you get the liquid that corresponds with the scent. It doesn't take long initially but depending on the time you may have to come get it the next day so account for that.

For some odd reason, they don't have all their products listed on their official website so if you…read morewant some of the other products I like such as their perfume roller, you would just have to get it filled up on the physical site. Candle Chemistry's value proposition is over 50 scents to choose from and being able to be hands on and mixing the scents yourself. There's a scent for everyone here. When I was here, it was clear that there was a lot of disorganization. I let them know that their website is still missing products and even though they said they would tell the owner about it; nothing has changed. It was pretty hard to get consistent service as someone would come to me and then leave me in the middle of servicing me. It was very odd behavior. Then there was an employee who was just kind of standing there doing absolutely nothing while the other two ladies did all the work. I got a bunch of perfume and a bottle of car diffuser. I must say that the diffuser didn't work at all.... I had it in my car for so long and no smell came out of it so it was a completely defective product that was a complete waste of money. At least the perfume rollers work. You get 10ml for $18 and the scents aren't very strong if that's what you're looking for but they are indeed nice. I'd definitely suggest better customer service (both in-person and online) and to only sell products that actually work.

We made a purchase and I accidentally left without my credit card. It wasn't offered back to me so it didn't register with me. Over an hour later I was ready to pay for a food bill and realized I didn't have my card. I ran back to the store and inquired about my card. The young lady said, "Oh, I realized you left your card and was going to run after you, but..." But what? Finish your sentence. "But, I was too involved with my phone and just couldn't break away from it to give you back your card." There, doesn't the truth feel better? It's a shame that cell phones are allowed to be openly used by employees while working. Quite a distraction from their paid responsibilities.

This place has officially solidified itself as one of our absolute favorite pastimes in Gilbert…read more Over the years, it has become our ultimate go-to for just about every occasion--whether it's a cozy date night after dinner, a fun girls' night out, or hosting birthday parties. The price is great! In fact, we've held multiple birthday celebrations here, and it is always a massive hit with the guests! Today's visit was a special girls' day, and we brought along my 5-year-old, proving they are incredibly kid-friendly! In between smelling all the different scents, the staff sweetly gave her a coloring book to keep her entertained. We also brought along our furry friend for the first time, and the staff went above and beyond to make her feel welcome too, even giving her a dog treat! That level of genuine customer service for the whole family is exactly why we keep coming back. The process here is so fun and incredibly seamless. 1. As soon as you walk through the door, you're greeted and handed a clipboard to write down all your favorite notes. 2. You get to explore the space and smell all of their incredible candles, jotting down the scents that you like. 3. Once you're done smelling, you choose your "build-your-own" product experience. 4. The staff helps you perfectly balance and customize your signature fragrance. 5. Lastly, you get to officially name your custom creation! The fragrance library here is unmatched--there is truly a scent profile for everyone. We've experimented with a lot of their offerings, and here are our absolute standouts: Custom Scent Oils: A household staple for us. We add a few drops to our wool dryer balls, and it elevates laundry day to a luxury experience. Car Diffusers: I am completely obsessed with the one I customized. It smells so incredible that I genuinely just want to sit in my parked car and enjoy it. Body Butter: If you're looking for deep hydration, skip the lotion (which ran a little too watery for my preference) and go straight for the body butter. It is rich, luxurious, and has become a mandatory part of my nightly routine. Sugar Scrub: My girls actually got me hooked on this! Now, it's a staple in my nightly shower routine for perfectly exfoliated skin. Room & Bathroom Spray: Yes, we even customized a spray for the bathroom. It's a game-changer. Pro-Tips: Candle Timing: Just a heads-up if you decide to pour a custom candle--it takes about 2 hours to harden! If you're doing a date night, I highly recommend making your candle before dinner so it can cure while you eat, or just plan to come back another day to pick it up. Payment Perk: If you want to maximize your spend, they accept the inKind app! We always use it to pay because you get awesome cash back/bonus credit. It's an absolute no-brainer. We love this spot so much that we've practically become brand ambassadors, constantly recommending it to everyone we know. Now, our friends are bringing their friends and family, too. The team here is consistently creative, welcoming, and passionate about what they do. Huge shoutout to Mia, who helped us during today's visit--she was absolutely wonderful and guided us perfectly through our blending session. If you haven't been yet, consider this your sign to book an experience. Five stars all around!

When we burned a couple of them, we had difficulty discerning any scent, even standing close to the candle. We didn't plan on returning them, but we returned to the store so my wife could pick out the free candle to which my earlier purchase entitled her. When we mentioned that we couldn't really smell any scent from the other candles, the associate was extremely helpful. Rather than taking the attitude of, "Hey, it's not our problem if you can't smell," she pointed out that the scents I had chosen were intentionally very subtle, and that each person responds differently to different scents. She suggested that we return the candles which hadn't worked for us, and she helped us select scents which were stronger (to us, at least). Customer service was absolutely A+, and my wife is happy to have candles that give off the stronger scent that she prefers. I highly recommend this business.

**July 2026: Thursday Afternoon Visit**…read more My friend and I were visiting Phoenix during a 110-degree heat wave and desperately needed something to cool us down, so I went searching and came across Sphinx Date Co Palm & Pantry. The date milkshake sounded too good to pass up, so my friend and I made the drive out to Scottsdale for a little afternoon treat--and it was absolutely worth it. As soon as we walked in, the shop owner was incredibly warm and welcoming. She offered us a sample of a Medjool date, and wow--it was plump, rich, and had this deep caramel-like sweetness that instantly sold me. You can really taste the quality. We each ordered a large date milkshake, and it was everything I hoped for. It tasted clean and simple in the best way--like it's made with just dates, milk, and ice cream (which is typically what a classic date shake includes). It was creamy, naturally sweet, and super refreshing in the Arizona heat. I also loved that the store carries a variety of Arizona-made local products, which made souvenir shopping so easy. They had everything from BBQ sauce and hot sauce to wines and cactus candy. I ended up picking up a few sauces and some jumbo Medjool dates to bring home as gifts. The owner also shared that they carry different types of dates depending on the season. I'm already looking forward to coming back to try their Sphinx dates, which she described as having a thinner skin and a more honey-like flavor--apparently available in late summer. Overall, I really loved this shop, its mission, and the quality of its products. This is definitely a spot you'll want to bookmark for your next Phoenix trip.
