Frequently Asked Questions

The time it takes to create a candle depends on how busy our shop is and how decisive you are! Your first visit with us may take up to 90 minutes, but many groups are in and out within an hour. If you are in a rush, certainly let our Candle Specialists know, they will be more than happy to expedite the process while still providing a personal experience. Please note that your candle will need to cool for 2 hours prior to pick up. 

Our pricing is dependent on the vessel you choose for your custom candle. Currently, our custom candles start at $20; this includes the cost of the candle and the entire experience! Interested in a flameless option? We offer custom wax melts at a rate of $6 if you purchase a custom candle, or $8 individually! Don’t have time today to make a custom candle? No problem! Stop in and pick up a premade candle starting at only $15! 

Absolutely! Walk-ins are always welcome.

We are excited to offer a “Reuse your Vessel” program! Bring back your empty candle vessel and our Candle Specialists will melt down any remaining wax, clean your vessel, and replace your wick. You will then continue through the custom candle experience! This program allows us to charge a cost by the ounce and be sustainable! You may reuse your vessel up until our staff believes it would no longer be safe under high temperatures due to imperfections or cracks. 

Our shop uses a natural soy wax for our candles and wax melts! Soy wax provides a clean burn, does not expel toxic vapors like many petroleum-based candles do, and is a renewable source! Soy wax can sometimes cause an uneven finish on the top of your candle, but no worries, this does not change the quality of your candle! 

Soy wax candles burn cleaner and slower than traditional paraffin wax candles. They also have a lower melting point, which means they last longer and are safer to burn.

We use aromatic fragrance oils that are sure to blend wonderfully with each other! The oils are a combination of both synthetic and natural components. Our fragrance oils are allergen free and pet safe to ensure the best experience for everyone!

It can be overwhelming choosing from over 70 scents! Luckily, our Candle Specialists are trained to offer suggestions based on the scents that YOU like! Our biggest suggestion to our guests is to take your time, we are here to help! 

Our Candle Specialists will guide you through the blending process to ensure your scents align with your scent pallet. Our pre-blending stage allows you to test out your combinations before mixing. If you dislike a scent or your combined scents, do not hesitate to inform your Candle Specialist! You are more than welcome to restart your blending process up until you combine your scent oil and wax together.

At this time we offer a variety of non-alcoholic beverages for your enjoyment! At this time we do not offer food. You are more than welcome to provide your own non-alcoholic beverages. For your safety, we do not recommend eating during the candle making process.

Because we are conveniently located in historic Downtown Lafayette, IN, there are an abundance of things to do during the 2 hours that your candles are cooling! Check out Home of Purdue’s website for a list of shops, restaurants, experiences and more in the Downtown area!
