We started selling at markets on the weekends across the Valley in 2020, opening our first Brick and Mortar in 2023, located in Old Town Scottsdale. Since I have Mast Cell Activation Syndrome, we were lucky to find a private company that makes our oils from scratch, tailored to my sensitivities to perfume. Using the highest quality of oils. We use a premium food grade paraffin bees wax blend, the only wax blend proven to not have allergens. Everything we use, we research thoroughly making sure our product is as clean and pure as a candle comes.

We determined, i'd like the Scottsdale location , were comfortable remaining and taking on a project to create Our own custom lotions. Alex was very welcoming, patient, informative and encouraging to try different scents until we arrived at the combination we were comfortable paying for. I am a 20+ corporate sales and customer success professional who is beyond impressed by how1 this business model is expressed in Peoria, AZ. When Alex was not working with us, his colleagues were considerate and kind enough to check in on how they could assist. When he returned, he apologized for being away. More importantly, he motivated us to take advantage of all that the experience had the offer. I'll definitely recommend chemistry and candles. Specifically this location to all my other friends were visiting Arizona. Thank you, Alex and thank you to the creators behind this experience.

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.

The wall full of candle scents could have gotten me stuck for an hour, but I had an idea in mind, so I went for a combo of 3 scents. I was so glad of the outcome. At one point, I thought I ruined my mix, but our assigned specialist was able to help me recover it! Woot! The birthday girl and her family had so much fun after their first experience and they already want to go back! As far as the value, depending on what you want to make, it goes from $25+ per person, which is very reasonable for a DIY experience. Keep in mind that if you are making a candle, you'll need to wait 2 hours for it to set, so it's best that you plan ahead of time a day out for a lunch or coffee (or even shopping!) around the area.

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.

I got there first thing in the morning with my mom and aunt to get started. We arrived on a Friday and parking was PACKED. We ended up finding a spot in a nearby lot, so if you have a certain time you want to arrive, make sure you factor in parking. Anyway, we made our way into the building, and a nice lady told us we could sit anywhere we wanted and gave us the rundown. You're able to make an array of items. We ended up making car fresheners, perfumes, lotions, and candles. You start off by picking your favorite scents and combinations. If you're anything like me and my mom, we are very indecisive, luckily they help you pick out scents and combinations they think you'll like. Seriously amazing staff! They were so patient with us to make sure we got the scent we loved. Overall, the process took about an hour, and depending on what you make, you'll have to come back after 3 -4 hours to pick up your items. When we came back around late noon, it was packed, so I definitely don't recommend coming at that time. Definitely go early in the morning or maybe a couple hours before they close. The prices weren't overly expensive at all. I can't remember the exact total, but I think I got around three items and only paid about $70. Either way, if I have more family coming in from out of town or just want a fun place to go with friends, I can definitely see myself coming back

There are probably over 100-200 fragrances, so lots of options!

We were pleased with our selections & personalized products. There are 3 location within the Phoenix area to make your tailored treasure come true! Note- Big groups, make reservations in advance! And- If you want your candle on the same day you visit; make sure you prepare for that & visit 3 hours prior to closing time to ensure you get your products so that you don't have to make an additional trip.

I was able to walk it and get a general sense for what they have in about 5 minutes. They had cute Arcadia totes for $60, candles were around $40, and other various end tables, napkins, table settings, pillows, wood beads, bowls, baskets, etc. A great selection of neutral/timeless pieces. Unfortunately I didn't purchase anything because I couldn't let myself spend that much money for small-ish items but it was fun browsing. If I had all of the money in the world, I would definitely shop here regularly!
