• 5/5 from Ethan Micame, attended Aug 2026: I went to this candle making workshop for my birthday as I thought it might be interesting to try something new. During our lesson we learned some basic background knowledge on to candle making as well as some technical terminology related to candles, the olfactory regions and scents whilst we were guided on creating on our own candles. Our teacher was extremely welcoming and accommodating to everyone in the group and made a conscious effort that everyone was following along and getting involved! Our teacher did say that our particular group that was slotted in for the session was a smaller group than usual so the atmosphere was very cozy.

• 5/5 from Ma Abalos, attended Mar 2026: I really enjoyed the candle making workshop. First of all, the venue was beautiful and helped set the perfect mood for the activity. It created a relaxing and welcoming atmosphere that made the whole experience even more enjoyable. It was also a great opportunity to socialise and meet new people.

I really loved the way that we got to experiment with the fragrances to create a personalised fragrance. I would recommend this workshop to everyone. It was such a fun time & you leave with a beautiful candle.
• 5/5 from Rena M, attended Feb 2026: Such an interesting class. I learned so much — not just the ‘how‑to’ of candle‑making, but also the nature and behaviour of the materials we worked with. I never knew scents had a wheel similar to the colour wheel, and it really opened my eyes to how fragrances blend. What I enjoyed most was being able to go through the entire process from start to finish, including choosing our own scents. It made the experience feel personal and genuinely hands‑on.
• 5/5 from Zen Anasarias, attended Feb 2026: It was an an amazing experience. The teacher goes beyond the basics, sharing professional advice on ingredient sourcing, materials, and troubleshooting common mistakes. I love the soy wax because it’s popular for being natural, renewable, and eco-friendly. It has a lower melting point, which means it burns longer and for the scent I’ve used a combination of Bergamot and Lemon and it smells so refreshing.
