The room hums with conversation and the faint citrus of essential oils as a low boil of soy wax mirrors the humidity outside. You step into a bright studio in Upper Kirby, sunlight slicing across worktables where jars, botanicals, and scent vials are arranged like a small chemist’s garden. Chairs cluster around a central melting station; the instructor guides the rhythm—measure, melt, scent, pour.
