Scent Science Candle Bar is a studio in Auburn Hills, Michigan that offers hands-on candle making and scent-blending workshops for guests seeking a creative, tactile experience. Participants choose from a selection of vessels and fragrance options to craft custom candles or a signature Aire’ Mist. Sessions are instructor-guided and designed to walk guests through each step of the process, from scent selection and pouring to finishing and packaging.
The business presents two main experiences: a Group-Candle Pouring Experience & Charcuterie in collaboration with R & B Charcuterie, and The Blend Experience, where individuals or small groups create one-of-a-kind candles or Aire’ Mist blends. The Group-Candle Pouring Experience & Charcuterie combines candle pouring with a hands-on charcuterie board workshop and includes a selfie wall for photos. The Blend Experience focuses on personal expression through scent, vessel choice, and finishing touches.
Scent Science provides materials and fragrance options on site and structures sessions for social gatherings, private parties, and gift-making. The studio’s offerings appeal to friends, couples, and small groups looking for a memorable activity in Auburn Hills. For visitors searching for DIY candle workshops, custom scent experiences, or a combined crafts-and-food evening, Scent Science Candle Bar delivers guided, creative sessions that result in personalized aromatic products and shareable memories.
