More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
Step into a sixth-floor studio above the hum of Michigan Avenue and the rhythmic footfalls of the Magnificent Mile. Warmth from melting soy wax and a shelf of fragrance vials meet the city’s pulse: glass towers, the distant loop of the Chicago River, and shoppers passing below. For 60–75 minutes you’ll stand at a bench, measure wax, scent blends, and pour an 8‑oz jar you designed yourself.

History
Michigan Avenue’s Magnificent Mile grew into a premier commercial corridor in the 20th century; nearby the historic Water Tower remains one of the few pre‑fire structures in the area.
Conservation
The studio uses 100% soy wax, a plant‑based option with lower soot than paraffin; visitors are encouraged to dispose of any leftover scents and containers responsibly and bring reusable bags to reduce waste.
