Review Body: We did this for our team building and absolutely loved it! Who knew making candles was so fascinating and complex?! Bruce our host was incredibly hospitable and has an amazing nose. He asked us what we wanted our candles to smell like (an afternoon nap! Clean bedsheets! Musky!), and he guided each of us patiently to achieve the scent that we wanted. There’s a HUGE amount of oils to choose from so the possibilities are endless. The quality of the oils he uses are also incredibly good. Would highly recommend!

Review Body: We booked a group event and Bruce was well prepared to engage all of us in simple quizzes and games. We enjoyed him sharing his knowledge and it is interesting to understand how scents are used by corporates to influence behaviours. Appreciate Bruce accommodating the changes in time too! An enjoyable workshop where we all get to bring something lovely home

Review Body: It was a very fun session where we made our own scented candles. Ryan, the scent engineer, made it very fun and lively too. Was really patient with us and also took the time to know what kind of scents we are usually into to ensure the aroma was up to our standards. He also took the time to help us take great photos. Had a great time and a great experience.

Review Body: I think her name is Aura. She is very knowledgable. Alot of patience with us. My wife and I had a great time discovering different scents. Alot of things that we learnt example like how shops are using certain fragrance to attract customers but ultimately we love our experience there. Definitely will come again or recommend the place.
