The studio smells of warmed wax and citrus—coconut and lime curl through the air as a cool trade-wind slips through an open window. You sit at a workbench in a compact, air-conditioned space on Tortola, tools laid out like a small alchemist’s kit. For one hour an instructor guides you through measuring wax, blending fragrance, and pouring a container you’ll seal and take home.
