Very interesting and well run
Bought this experience for my girlfriend as a Christmas present. It was very interesting to see how easy it is to make your own candles but also discover your favourite smell! Located in Hackney it’s nice to explore the wider area afterwards.

A great educational and immersive experience
This workshop goes beyond candle making. It teaches you to really utilise your sense of smell to determine what you like and, most uniquely, the reasons why.
