Scent-sational DIY Candle Making in Portsmouth, NH, Is the Ultimate Relaxing Experience

Is anyone else obsessed with candles?

As a fairly new mom, there’s something incredibly therapeutic about lighting a candle and enjoying a glass of wine to unwind. Candles have a way of bringing cozy, relaxing vibes to any occasion! Whether it’s a girls’ night, a romantic date, or a quiet evening on the couch, candles will set the mood for you.

In Portsmouth, New Hampshire, Sea Love on Deer Street offers the ultimate candle-making experience.

Sea Love in Portsmouth, New Hampshire, Has a DIY Candle-Making Experience

Guided by "a Certified Scent Stylist," you’ll explore curated fragrance notes, blend a scent that reflects your style, choose a vessel, and pour your own candle.

The experience lasts 45 to 60 minutes, with candles priced from $48 to $56 per person. After pouring, your candle needs about two hours to cool so you can grab a bite or a drink nearby while it sets, or opt to have it shipped for an extra $12.

Walk-ins are welcome, but reservations are recommended.

Some of the Best Candle Scents

Just like a palette, our noses gravitate toward different notes. I’ve always been obsessed with fall, so autumn scents are my favorite (think apple cider, bergamot, and pumpkin spice) but candles can be enjoyed year-round. Morning maple pancakes in the kitchen? Yes, please. Fresh ocean breeze in the living room? Absolutely.

What’s better than enjoying your favorite candle? Making one yourself. Candle making lets you craft a scent that perfectly represents who you are. Not to mention, you’ll no longer have to go hunting for your favorite aroma at every store.
