While You Wait…

Candles need to sit for a minimum of 2 hours in order to properly set. We highly recommend visiting some of our neighboring businesses to shop, grab a drink, or get a bite to eat. Your scent specialist will be more than happy to share recommendations! You may also choose to come back another day to pickup candles.
