This is the first time I’ve made my own candles and really enjoyed the experience. I loved all the options in colour, scents and decoration. The teacher was very patient and guided as through the entire experience. I also loved that it was a private session with just my friend and I. This class was very well priced as you got to make a total of 5 candles (1 big candle and 4 mini candles).

Thank you Anneliese! This is definitely a workshop meant for small intimate groups and I am so happy to hear that you enjoyed the experience. Hope to see you again in future workshops!

perfume making class was very fun! the teacher was really sweet and patient, explained all our questions in detail and also let us take our time with no rush. the venue was very clean and had very calming music playing. lots of scents provided that we could mix and we loved the perfume bottles and the labels u could put on them. great value for money we loved the perfume we created and overall recommend the class, it was a wonderful experience
Teacher's response
Thanks Letizia! The whole process was beautiful and I love the creative labels you made for your perfume. Cheers to creating harmonious scents using easily accessible natural ingredients!

The perfume workshop was lovely, so many different perfume oils for us to smell and the teacher was friendly and gave us good advice on what scents go well with eachother. We all took home a good quality bottle of perfume. Definitely recommend trying it out!

Dessert Candle Making with Velvoras: I booked this workshop for a friend’s birthday and it was such a unique and enjoyable experience! The concept of dessert candle making was extremely clever and our facilitator Karina was super friendly. The attention to detail and quality of materials were incredible. Great value for money. Parking on site was super convenient (which outweighed the difficulty of navigating its city location)
Would highly recommend!
Teacher's response
Thank you so much Mikayla! It was such a fun experience facilitating the workshop for you. Your dessert candles were absolutely adorable. I loved the part where you suggested cutting the toppings up into smaller pieces, so creative!

Carina was awesome! The class was very simple and straightforward, i thought it was a bit more complex than what it was going to be. The environment was lovely and we made a great scent!
Teacher's response
You are awesome! Thank you Tesslyn for such a kind review. I am so glad to hear that you found the workshop straightforward. Simplifying the process of formulating a beautiful scent that brings us joy was a crucial aspect when I designed the workshop. There is definitely so much more learning that can be involved with perfume making. Hope this workshop served as a great beginning for your perfume making journey!

The teacher was lovely and explained all the steps, especially when we got confused. She was a fountain of knowledge and was able to answer all our questions.

Merlin Francis • Jan 2024
The teacher was good, clear instructions were provided along with the materials. The teacher was patient and spent time talking through the questions and doubts we had.
Teacher's response
Thank you so much Merlin for your kind words. I'm thrilled to hear that you found my instructions clear and that the materials provided were helpful. It's always important to me to make sure that everyone understands the content and feels supported, so I'm glad to hear that you appreciated me addressing everyone’s questions and doubts. I truly enjoyed teaching the workshop and I hope to have the opportunity to dive deeper into the discussion on perfume making with you in the future. Thank you once again for your feedback!
Alicia Fernandez Franco • Jan 2024
This was amazing! I had a lot of fun and I have learnt the very basics which can be easily applied to my own beauty rituals. The teacher provided me also with some tips and places where I can purchase material to continue on my own
Teacher's response
I am so happy to hear that you enjoyed the workshop and will be able to continue on exploring the beauty that essential oils can bring to our daily rituals! Thank you for choosing Velvoras for a lovely evening :)
Yuthmini Dissanayake • Dec 2023
The teacher was super nice and supportive with every step that we did. She made sure to explain every step in a way that was super easy for us to understand. And the venue was spacious and lovely, making the whole class a breeze to get through. Toilets are also nearby which is awesome. She was more than happy to reheat our candle wax several times cos we were a bit slow with the mixing so it kept hardening up hahaha. Everything was super easy to use and very beginner friendly. The experience was also definitely worth the money, we even went over time but she didn't charge any extra. She seemed like a very down to earth individual who just loved sharing her passion. We also learnt what Velvoras meant, and I think it was a beautiful meaning. So if you decide to go, you should definitely ask her what it means.
Teacher's response
Thank you so much Yuthmini! Your candles turned out so cute, and I’m so glad to hear that you enjoyed the experience. Since you didn’t have another time-pressing commitment afterwards, I wanted to allow for plenty of time for you to get the colours and fragrances right for each of your candle creations! Thanks for choosing Velvoras for lovely afternoon, hope to see you again in the future!
Jasmine Wong • Dec 2023
Had a really fun time in a smaller private session and loved that we could take our time and relax while mixing together personalised smells. It was also educational and easy to follow. Will definitely come back with other friends and maybe also try the candle making one!
Teacher's response
Thank you Jasmine, you are so kind. It was lovely meeting you, and I am so happy to hear that you enjoyed the experience. I would love to host a candle workshop for you and your friends, looking forward to seeing you again soon!
