    Such a fun experience to try in Seattle!…read more The staff were outstanding, with Mikey in particular going above and beyond! 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.

    I've been here twice for a birthday party and always recommend to my community, so I obviously love…read morethem! I love that Noir is a Black and woman-owner business, that was birthed from Covid. 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!

    I hosted an event for ten 18-22 year olds here and it was fantastic! Connie was our host and she…read morewas so great with everyone. They loved the scents and the fact that they each get to take home a one-of-a-kind candle. It was such a warm, welcoming environment. Highly recommend! We hope to do it again next year.

    We found what we needed there to help our wee doggie get through a respiratory issue comfortably…read more A naturopathic syrup formula of Slippery Elm, Marshmallow Root and unheated raw honey soothed his cough by the second dosing (3x's per day) and symptoms went completely away in two days. However we continued for one more day and he has had no relapse. That said, not all pet illnesses or discomfort can be cured with herbal formulas and so we do not disregard seeing his veterinarian for a diagnosis for anything alarming or persistent and he is vaccinated. However, we do support and enhance positive health, his and ours, through diet first which can include health enhancing formulas which I prefer to make myself rather than trusting formulas that are not regulated and can contain whatever ingredients profiteers without consciences want to put in them. Was thrilled to find such an apothecary in the Seattle metro because it allows me to know exactly what I gave my sweet doggie during his discomfort and I can obtain formulas or make them myself to support our family's health as needed.

    This is a great holistic store. The owner (Laura) is incredible. She stopped what she was doing…read moreand was extremely helpful and informative. She truly cares about her customers and what she dose. The establishment has numerous herbal supplements and extracts, as well as many fresh herbs that can be used for culinary and multiple uses. The prices at Good Vibrations are extremely affordable. One product I purchased, I purchased previously from a supplement store. Good Vibrations sold the same item, for 40% less. This is a must try if you want to explore natural remedies, purchase fresh herbs, coffee, tea or incense.

So I went into the beautiful store, where a very nice lady helped explain that I needed to take off the charred parts of the wood wick and demonstrated how to do it. Best Customer service ever. Now my candle is functioning fine and making these nice crackling sounds that wood wicks do.

    I surprised my husband with the Pumarosa Candle Experience for our anniversary, and it ended up…read morebeing one of those nights we'll talk about for years. We're always looking for something different to do instead of the usual dinner-and-a-movie routine, and this totally delivered. Vanessa and Jon made us feel like we were hanging out with friends who just happen to be candle experts. Jon's storytelling at the beginning was unexpectedly immersive he took us through the history of candles with this meditation that actually got me relaxed and present. Then Vanessa shared her story about starting Pumarosa, and you could feel how much heart she's put into this business, honoring her mom and her time in Venezuela under a Pumarosa tree, where those cherished memories began. The hands-on part was so fun. Smelling all the different scents and trying to pick just three was tough because they're all really, really good. My husband and I chose completely different combinations, which made sense for our personalities. Pouring the wax and getting the technique right felt like a little accomplishment, and now we have these custom candles that we actually made ourselves. I went back two weeks later to pick them up (you can also have them shipped), and of course I grabbed a few more. Vanilla, Cashmere, and Eucalyptus are my go-tos now. Whether you're celebrating something or just want to try something new and creative, I can't recommend this enough. It's thoughtful, hands-on, and honestly just a really nice way to spend an evening. Thanks for everything, Vanessa and Jon!
