Essentials

This should be called In Excess because everything in here has excessive pricing. A deck of cards in a acrylic case $120, One set of Mahjong in acrylic case $485! Not even special tiles! Is this a joke? We thought it was closed, but realized quick why the store is empty. What a shame. Go to the Market up the street same things just without a 500% markup.

ESSENTIALS is a high end establishment with the best aromatic candles and diffusers. You will be amazed to see the size of candles they have, and how beautiful they are. They have many other things that are surprising...even clocks. I purchased a clock that was a tiger, and his tongue is the piece that moves back-and-forth. My dining room is kind of a jungle format, so it fit in there very well, you will like going in there and just browsing.

Essentials is an amazing store. We always come in and Jane greets us with her beautiful smile, we pick out what we want, and she gives us extra samples for free. She helps us pick out what we need, tells us what fragrances are delightful and which ones aren't, and around Christmastime there are these delicious honey sticks at the counter that taste as good as they sound. Not cheap, but well worth it. They have thousands of fragrances and brands to choose from and we always leave satisfied. Wonderful store.

We absolutely LOVE this shop!Georgeann and all her gals are always sooooooo friendly and helpful, and the wide selection of soaps, candles, greeting cards, gifts, colognes, and a wide array of other good things simply can't be beaten. Essentials carries Nest, Jack Black, Crabtree & Evelyn, Caswell-Massey, Trapp, Truefitt & Hill, Aromatique, Seda France, Lafco, Niven Morgan, Lampes Berger, Thymes, and scads of other high quality lines from all around the world.The sales here are fantastic, too, and the parking out front in Casady Square's parking lot is always quite ample.Sign up for notices and you'll also receive a birthday discount each year.A local favorite.Oh, yes.Hands down.Every time.

Olfactory heaven! Essentials is my go-to for all things that I want to breathe or slather on. Georgana and her knowledgeable staff are personable, never pushy, and over-the-top helpful. If they don't have what you were looking for, they'll make every effort to track it down and call you when it comes in. I'd recommend not being in a hurry when you come in, simply because you'll want to smell it all. Lovely store. Lovely staff.
