Take a peek at my experience!
First step is figuring out what types of scents you like. They provide over 100 scents that you can smell and while doing so you can start thinking of which will go well together.
You can blend up to 3 scents.
There are so many scents to choose from.
Need inspiration? They give you a great list of scent blend suggestions.
Grab your bottles of oil and get ready to blend.
The scents I chose were
Cheesecake
Blueberry Muffin
Graham Crackers
Combine the oils and decide which one you want to stand out and which will be in the background. As you create your oil, take time to stop and smell it to make sure it is coming along the way you want.
Once you have your oil ready it is time to start assembling everything.
Before you start, it’s time to create your own label. (Or leave your bottle plain if you’d like.)
I named my candle Blueberry Cheesecake.
Ok…time to add the wax
And give it a good stir for about 2 minutes.
Using some chopsticks, center your wick and you are done creating your custom candle!
How long is the experience?
Your custom candle experience takes about 30-45 minutes.
Candles take 2 – 2.5 hours to cool before they are ready to take home or can be shipped for $12/ea. If you wish to pour a candle and pick it up the same day, be sure to reserve a time at least 3 hours before close to ensure your candle has time to cool.

Ready to see my candle?
Look how pretty it turned out! I wish you could smell the amazing aroma this candle lets off when it’s lit. It fills up the room with the delicious scent of blueberry cheesecake. I’m so happy with it and I can’t wait to get a bunch of friends together to make more.
Leave some time to shop.
Sea Love has so many adorable coastal gifts around the store. Many are from local, women-owned businesses.
They also have their own signature reeds and candles.
I love this one that’s called Portsmouth. It transports you right to the seacoast.
There are so many great coastal gifts for everyone on your list.
