More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
Step into a bright studio on a tree-lined Montclair street, where citrus and lavender float through the air and jars clink like a small, deliberate applause. Benches are laid out with jars, oils, and mineral salts; a local skincare crafter walks the group through scent selection and gentle exfoliation techniques. The experience is tactile and social — friends comparing blends, a parent and teen swapping scent notes — and ends with two labeled containers to take home.
