The room hums with low conversation and the clink of glass as a wine bar turns its back room into a workshop: a row of burners, jars, and a tower of fragrance oils. Instructor Jocelyn guides groups through melting soy wax, stirring color into creamy pools and measuring scents that will define a living space. The experience feels tactile and social — part craft class, part relaxed tasting — with music soft enough to keep the focus on creative choices.
