You step into a bright, plant-lined storefront in Montrose and the first thing that hits you is the warm, vanilla-sweet air—melts and wax tins stacked like a small library of scents. Worktables are laid out with glass vessels, fragrance vials, and a low hum of conversation; an instructor walks the room with a ladle, steady and precise.
