One of the best vibes in 757, without a doubt! It's clean, welcoming, cozy, organized, & fun! If you don't want to make candles, you can just chill by the bar & check out the extensive book collection. I absolutely love it & have gone several times.

I went to this amazing business for my birthday and the experience was absolutely phenomenal!!! We made the most amazing smelling candles and it was such a laid back environment! The owner has been in this business for over 35 years so he definitely came with the knowledge and wisdom and taught us about the power in smells. They had light refreshments and drinks. The book store they have was absolutely amazing as well. They do so much, we definitely will be back for another session!

My boyfriend and I attended a candle making class at Ambyance Fragrances inside of The Book Club off of High Street in Downtown Portsmouth and it was one of the funnest experiences we've had. Neither one of us had any candle making experience so I was excited to see how the process worked.As soon as we walked in, we were greeted by early 90s Hip-Hop being played by a DJ which we thoroughly enjoyed. Once we made our inside, we were greeted by the owner of Ambyance Fragrances, Robert, who taught us everything we needed to know about our sense of smell and how amazing his soy candles were. We were given about 30 fragrance samples to smell before deciding on about 2-3 to add to our candle. Once we added our customized fragrance to the candle wax, we then added some dried flowers for decoration and selected the color we wanted for our candle. Since it took about 45 mins for our candles to set, we were able to enjoy the bar and grab a bite to eat from their limited menu while we waited. We also walked around and viewed the books on display as well.Overall, our candles turned out absolutely amazing and smelled wonderful! Robert has been in the candle making business for years and his candles are top tier. He is so inspiring and you can tell he puts his all into his art of candle and oil making. I definitely recommend booking this class for a Girl's Night, Date Night, or just because.

I was here a few weeks ago and the customer service was terrible. The female manager was offensive and rude when we asked about the the products. And the candle that we bought was horrible but I guess that is because she was eager to be done with us

Not sure which place the other people are reviewing. The long term quality of their product are not good. The glass they use for the candles breaks easily

This man here is on to something. You want a cute date night, girls night, or solo date? I recommend making candles with Mr. Robert. It is located on High Street in a cute neighborhood bookstore/ coffee shop called The Book Club. He is very educated on candles and explains the process very well. He has the stations set up on arrival and walks you through the steps. We were able to pick our flavors, colors, and candle jars. There was an array of flavors or smells that makes me want to come back and make more candles. He also came by and picked perfumes that complimented us. Let's just say he was SPOT ON! He picked 3 signature scents that I would go for all based off ONE conversation we had. 1000000000000000/10 recommend.

Unique fragrances and spectacular service. I never have to worry about having a perfume, candle, or incense that smells like everyone else. From in store to shipping to your home. You have a customer for life.

We went to a candle making class. We were able to customize our own candle scents. I'm happy with my candle. Rob also makes his own colognes, perfumes and incense. He will be a resource when I want to get a special scent that no one else is wearing. Customer service was top notch. I will be back.

I wish their owner would stop using fake accounts. I was one of the few people at the candle class a few weeks ago and it wasn’t good

Their scents smelled terrible and customer service is just as bad. It’s obvious the other reviews were the owner’s family and friends or just themselves giving their store five stars under another account. It is not even 1 star. This was a place I visited in the plaza and I won’t be coming back

The short employee was very nasty and rude. I didn't see anything worth buying. The candles had terrible scents as if it had spoiled. I don't recommend their products.

The short heavyset female employee with the wig is very rude and nasty.

I fell in love with my candles! I purchased a few handcrafted candles and even when they aren’t lit they have my home smelling good! The customer service was wonderful! I will always come here for my candles and fragrant needs! ❤️
