Crafted Scent Bar — Local services in Eustis

Today, we brought our Mom to Crafted Scent Bar in Mt Dora for a Candle making experience to celebrate her birthday. This business has great reviews on other sights and we really really loved this. We decided to do this while we were at lunch and we booked the 3pm session. All 5 of us got to pick from a huge selection of scents and we were allowed to combine as many scents as we wanted to use. There are several selections we could choose from to make at different price points and we all chose the middle price point option to create 10 Oz candles (1 each). The owners were present to help guide us in choosing what scents may complement each other. We were given the glass jars that we chose along with a wick to stick into the jar. After smelling the different scent samples that we were interested in and made our selections, we wrote them down on a card. The owner then brought us each of the scents we chose in individual bottles. We were also given beakers and small scales. We were then instructed how much total weight in scent that we needed to blend. For example, I chose 3 scents to blend, so I started out adding a few drops of each scent into the beaker and judged how much more of each scent to add based upon the smell. The more I added, the better it smelled. I blended Orange Blossom, Plumeria and Gardenia together. Once we had the proper weight in scent mixed, we were each given a pitcher of melted wax and a stick. We were directed to pour all of or beaker of blended scents into the melted wax and stir. Once we had thoroughly mixed our scents into the wax, it was then time to pour the now scented wax into the selected candle jars. The owner then gave each of us a tool to help keep the wick straight in the candle jar while our candles solidified. While they were solidifying, we walked down the street into some of the other shops. We returned a little more than an hour later to pick up our mostly solidified candles to take home with us. You are welcome to bring your own drinks with you. The shop sells already made candles and scents, tshirts, candle and tart accessories etc. the owner and staff (her Mom) are wonderful and enjoyable to work with. Our family really enjoyed this whole experience and recommend this for your family, your work team, friend group, church group, etc. we will most likely do this again and will bring friends to experience this with. All 5 of us chose the same price level making a 10 Oz candle in a beautiful colored glass container with wood lids at ($42 each). Yes you can buy candles fir less money, yes you can choose a less expensive price point….we really enjoyed the experience and the end products we created in their beautiful colored glass jars…and most importantly Mom enjoyed this as a Happy Birthday activity with her two adult kids and our husbands. Money more than well spent! Check out their website and book your experience soon…I think you will love this experience and the...

10/10 definitely recommend. I have been to candle making classes before but this one by far is the best. It really felt like i made my own candle because I do to do each step by myself compared to one i been to where couple of the steps were done for me. The whole class atmosphere was very inviting, the instructor/ owner took her time guiding you through the process. She was also very informative about the oils and which ones that were best to blend. I did not feel like i was on a time limit. The scents smelt great and my candle smell amazing. I did not want to burn it but i did because i know I’m coming back to make another one. Great for a date or just something relaxing to do. You are not only limited to candles they are different option like diffusers and more. This was also a plus to me because i don’t have to come back to make a candle. I will be back soon.

Thanks for the great experience...

My husband and I are doing date nights alphabetically, and for "C," I chose candle making at Crafted Scent Bar. I think I won date night! We had the best time. Melissa was incredibly kind, helpful, and knowledgeable about scents and candle making. She shared the inspiring story of how she started the shop, which I found really motivating. She even hand-delivered our candles to the restaurant where we dined afterward.

Our candles smell and look amazing. Melissa offers a wide variety of scents, candle holders, wax melts, and diffusers. The store is cozy and welcoming, and since we don’t drink alcohol, she kindly offered us coffee. It's also wonderful to see that she sells many items from local talent.

With our leftover oil, Melissa made us each a personalized hand sanitizer. We will definitely be back—it was an awesome and...
