Me and my boyfriend had an amazing time at the scent bar. The ambiance was very calm and relaxing. The staff members were helpful and friendly and the only reason I gave the food a 0 was because the place doesnr offer food. If it did im sure it would be a 10 as well! The scents me and my boyfriend made smelled amazing. We plan on going back every month to experiment with new scents!

Some of the candle samples seemed old so the scents weren’t as strong as they should be…this made it difficult to really smell the true scents. Also, the prices were a little steep (some of the vessels for the candles were outrageously priced) but I did appreciate that the wax used is vegan & soy based. I also appreciated how clean & vegan the ingredients were for the sugar scrub. (I marked the rating for food a 5 as there was no food offered so I marked it as neutral…not sure why I was asked to rate food)

The only reason I gave food a 0 is because I didn't have any (tbh I didn't know you served food). I gave Value an 8 because it was still very pricey, even for the location and experience. That said, my friends and I loved it. It was a fun way to celebrate my birthday and we all agreed we were going back, either as a group again, individually or with another friend or family member. You rock!

For a place that is all about scents, I was pleasantly surprised to not be slammed with too strong of a smell the minute you walk through the door. Instead, you’re transported to the most elegant, fresh candle making experience one could ever imagine. Top it off with the friendliest and most patient staff - you got yourself locked in for the best hour and half of your day. A must do, possibly more than once and if you’re lucky, have Mia assist you.

I didn’t know what to expect. I thought maybe I would spend about 2 hours there but I wasn’t there long. Once you smell the scents you are pretty much done creating the scent perfect for you. I think I probably should have spent more time smelling all of the scents so in that case it can take longer. But overall it was a great experience and my scent smells wonderful 9/10

Overall I had fun. It was something different to do. It was super crowded when I went so there were long stretches when no one was able to help us when needed because folks left us to help others. We'd be sitting and they literally took the oils whlie my friend was still using them or they'd be cleaning around us. The other issue was that they gave us someone else's wax melts. When I called, the first person I spoke with (a male?) thought I would come back to drop it off. It was fine when I told him I wasn't able to, but it says a lot that you make a mistake and you expect a customer who paid for your service to spend gas and pay for parking to fix a mistake from your team. I would like to come back when it's way less busy because I do think the lack of service was because of how busy it was. everyone was very nice.
