Commonwealth Candle

Cannot recommend this place highly enough! I had my mind set on getting my mom some customized candles for Christmas with these little inside jokes that we have. I was looking for local places that would let me make my own candle and very happily stumbled upon Commonwealth Candle.I had planned out my day to spend several hours doing the whole process: scent selection, pouring, drying. However, when I got there, I fell in love with the pre-existing scents. As I was smelling them, I thought there was no way I could improve on the perfection that they already had available. I got my mom a few candles, and treated myself to a room spray. It was awesome because I was still able to personalize it with a label I got to decorate myself. The staff was so wonderful. They were patient with me as I smelled every single candle. They gave me thoughtful recommendations, and they made sure I wasn't going nose blind by giving me a coffee bean nose-palate cleanser. I got a pretty good deal since I went on Black Friday, but I would recommend this place on any day. Overall amazing experience! My mom is going to love her candles, and yours will too!

I bumped into Commonwealth Candle! Although I'd heard of it I hadn't seen the brick and mortar. It sits in the downtown J-Town area. The shop takes appointments and walk-ins for you to create a candle. They've added body mist and lotion as well. The wall of candles lets you smell as much as you want so that you can determine how you want to mix and match the scents for your custom candle. Prices vary based on the container size. The creation is approximately 30 minutes once scents are picked and another 1-2 hours for it to set. The good news is there's small shops, coffee, or restaurants to enjoy while that happens.The team that runs the shop were so friendly and answered our questions while they packed boxes of candles for shipment. I left with 3 gift cards and because the price is reasonable I will be back for other gifts. If you'd prefer to purchase items already made they have plenty for sale.Street parking easily available. Support local!

Loved this candle making experience in J-Town! It's an easy, fun activity and to my surprise, the candle I made smells better and stronger than most other candles I have ar home. You can also buy candles and wax melts while you're there and smelling all the scents is half the fun. This is a great date night or girl's day activity!

We came here to do something different. We were celebrating my moms birthday and came across this place on a Facebook event page. So glad we found it. Creative and unique gift that's also an experience. Small space located in Mellwood Arts center. You can create your own customized candle scent. Mix and match and also choose your container. Such a fun experience. I can't wait to make my next candle. Great memory and experience gift. She will remember our time each time she uses her candle.

A friend of mine planned a Galentine's Day private Candle pouring party here! We had an absolute blast. We were able to bring our own food and drinks! There was a large assortment of smells to choose from and jar sizes and designs. You also get to name your candle yourself! There candles are 100% soy wax, phthalate-free and carcinogen-free. Stefanie and her husband were very helpful and willing to answer questions. I love that this is a family owned business! It only took about an hour for the candles to harden. The candles came in a nice gift bag too!

Fun date with my wife. We both made candles and had a great time. They have lots of jars to choose from and many scents to customize your candles.

This was a super cool experience. If you have the time and want to do something out of the ordinary, visit commonwealth candle. The service was top notch, just wish the candle pouring portion was more of an experience versus, just a cool gimmick. The value is well worth it if it's a date day. Once you pour your candle, you'll have plenty of time to explore the remaining shops in the Mellwood Center. Overall it's definitely worth the time.
