Frequently Asked Questions
The Experience
What is Poured Candle Bar?
A custom fragrance bar at 711 Warren Street in Hudson, NY. Choose from more than 40 fragrances, blend a scent that's entirely yours, and make it into a candle, personal perfume or reed diffuser.
How much does it cost?
Experiences start at $55 per person, plus tax and an 18% service charge in lieu of gratuity, and include an 8 oz candle. You can upgrade at the bar to a perfume, reed diffuser or larger candle vessel, with pricing based on size and style.
Can I make a perfume or reed diffuser instead of a candle?
Yes. Once you've blended your fragrance, you can choose a personal perfume in a 100 ml bottle, a reed diffuser, or a larger candle in glass, ceramic, marble or stone. Pricing for upgrades is dependent on size, color, style, and material. With over 50 options of different types of vessels, you're bound to find the perfect fit for your home!
How long does it take?
Each session on average lasts 45 minutes, and new sessions start on the hour. Candles need between 2-3 hours to cure before pickup. During peak season and on weekends, your experience could take longer, so we suggest not booking a restaurant reservation within 30 minutes of your experience ending. If your session starts within three hours of closing, you can pick up the next day or have your creations shipped for a fee.
Can two people share one experience?
No. Everyone in your party creates their own fragrance, so please book a spot for each person.

Candle Care
What are your candles made with?
Soy wax and a braided cotton wick, for a clean, even burn.
How do I care for my candle?
Trim the braided cotton wick to about 1/4 inch before each burn. On the first burn, let the wax melt all the way to the edges to prevent tunneling, and don't burn it for more than 4 hours at a time.
