How long does it take to make a product?
- Selecting your scents from among our 80+ choices, creating your own blend and mixing your custom scent blend into the product of your choice takes approximately 40-45 minutes for 1-2 people. For each additional 2 people, the process generally takes an additional 10 minutes, which accounts for the additional fun social interactions.
Can I take my custom-scented candle home the same day?
- Yes. Our classic 7.5 oz. candles take 90 minutes after the wax is poured for us to provide finishing steps before they can be taken away (larger candles take 2 hrs.). The 7.5 oz. candles poured at least 90 minutes before the store closes can be picked up the same day. Or we are happy to hold candles for you to pick up another day during regular business hours. For groups, we can make special pick-up arrangements.
