Candle Making Made Easy: The Art of Candle Crafting

With your fragrance perfected, it’s time to bring your candle to life. You’ll measure your natural soy wax, select a vessel colour to suit your style, and learn what goes into a luxury candle before blending wax and fragrance together. As the aromas combine, you’ll get a first glimpse of how your finished candle will smell.

This is where excitement builds — your fragrance is blended, the wax is poured, and your creation begins to set. It’s the magical moment when you see your candle transform from idea to reality.

While your candle sets, you’ll move on to the finishing flourishes. Create a bespoke label, design your candle box, and add luxury details that make it uniquely yours. Imagine your creation displayed on a shelf at Harrods or Selfridges — this stage is where that vision comes alive.

Recent reviews of Bespoke Candle Making Class: Make Your Own Signature Scent

  • 5/5 from Chiara Becuti, attended Oct 2026: Joined precious for my besties Birthday and it did not disappoint! Not only she’s very knowledgeable and the location super cool.. but she also made sure to play our favorite music and created an incredible atmosphere allowing us all participants to bond with each other. Rate it!
  • 5/5 from Narmiha Kumaran, attended Jul 2026: Precious was an incredible host for the candle making class my friends and I attended today. She was so clear with her instructions and you could really feel her passion for the art of candle making throughout the class. She was incredibly helpful throughout, especially when I was struggling with what scents to choose- she really took the time with each person to help them figure out how to make a scent true to them. She was really bubbly and had an infectious energy that made the workshop even better than it already was! She also dropped bits of knowledge about her process (like how long to wait until using the candle, or what scents are good for enhancing the smell of your candle), which again were great for us to learn about. We really liked the detail of designing our own candle labels and boxes. This was a nice special touch to complete the workshop. And the cute gift bags to take our creations home with us. Hospitality was great too - water available, AC room (especially during this extremely hot weather was very much appreciated!) and options to order drinks/food from the bar. I couldn’t recommend this class enough to others, especially with a great host like Precious. Thank you for such a lovely day out ️
  • 5/5 from Karen Pascal-Calbio, attended Jun 2026: I booked the Gia Candle bespoke scent‑making experience for my 60th birthday celebration and it was truly memorable. She was the only facilitator yet she handled everything with such calm friendly professionalism. Even while managing the entire session on her own she never rushed anyone and made sure every guest felt supported and included. She arrived with all her materials and beautifully set up the tables with her own equipment creating a lovely inviting atmosphere for my celebration. The setup was thoughtful and added a special touch to the occasion making the space feel warm and personal. Throughout the class she kept everyone informed answered every question with patience and guided us through the scent‑making process without ever taking over our creativity. Her attentiveness and kindness made the experience feel truly bespoke. It was a wonderful addition to my milestone birthday and I left with a candle I love and memories I’ll cherish. Highly recommend her for any event where you want something unique personal and beautifully delivered.
  • 5/5 from Harmony Kamidiora, attended Mar 2026: Great afternoon and, very relaxing. All employees enjoyed the experience and, Precious was so welcoming and friendly.
  • 5/5 from Marc Jackson, attended Mar 2026: Our teacher was really friendly and calm - she helped us throughout and gave us helpful tips so we could better create our own scents. The class was really fun and complimented by the setting and music also!
  • 5/5 from Dakota Branch-Smith, attended Mar 2026: precious was so attentive and a great teacher. we had quite an intimate session as there was only 4 of us but such a fun experience! highly recommend. can’t wait to burn my candle!!
  • 3/5 from Samuel Hibberd, attended Feb 2026: We enjoyed the class but there were some things that we didnt like about it; - the location was very noisy and not relaxing at all (in the middle of a food court) - the teacher didn’t really give us much direction or guidance, just told us to have fun (difficult to do when you don’t know what you’re doing) - we didn’t learn anything about fragrance pairing or candle making - there was wasn’t enough of some of the fragrances
  • 5/5 from Michelle Parkes, attended Dec 2025: A group of 4 of us went to the candle making class. There was a huge variety of scents to choose from and it was quite a challenge to pick your favourites. We then enjoyed mixing and making the candle. It was very informal and our teacher just guided us through each stage, providing reassurance as necessary.
  • 5/5 from Rhian Thomas, attended Oct 2025: I booked the bespoke candle making class for my Mum’s birthday and we both loved it! The class was laid back and fun, and Precious was really knowledgeable and created a lovely atmosphere. We were both really pleased with how our candles turned out!
  • 5/5 from Nikita Patel, attended Oct 2025: This was an amazing class for a wholesome saturday afternoon, our teacher Precious was really lovely and patient and guided us through the class. It was really fun to experiment with different scents. We even got to decorate our candle boxes and create labels for the candles. They came out looking super luxe and smelling lush. Would definitely take this class again!
  • 5/5 from Precious Adebayo, attended Aug 2025: I had a really great time!! The host was very helpful throughout the process, would definitely recommend!!
  • 5/5 from Natalie, attended Jun 2025: Absolutely amazing class with an amazing host. We made a bit of a boo boo but our host was more than accommodating. Amazing ambience and my candle looks and smells amazing. Thank you for a wonderful afternoon. Xxx
  • 5/5 from Defne Gurkan, attended May 2025: perfect thanks for everything
  • 5/5 from Akleia Louis-Frederick, attended Mar 2025: Attended with a friend and made our own bespoke candles. The class was so well facilitated and informative - my friend and I had an amazing time and left with beautifully scented candles :)
  • 5/5 from Jacqueline, attended Mar 2025: I came with a girl friend of mine and we had the best time! Drinks were lovely and the host was so informative and patient. You could tell she knew what she was talking about! Getting to design the boxes was an extra that made it all the more better. I’d definitely come back and recommend to a friend
  • 5/5 from Jayda Bambury, attended Mar 2025: Great experience Would 100% recommend Host was more than welcoming and very knowledgeable. Love it and wish nothing but success for the business
  • 5/5 from Bilisti, attended Mar 2025: We did the candle making class and loved it! Precious was super informative, kind and made the whole experience 10/10. Loved the variety of fragrances to choose from and being able to go home with your own personalised scent. 10/10 recommend. and if you're a club / business looking for a cute group activity to do then this is the one for you!
  • 2/5 from Anonymised ClassBento customer, attended Mar 2025: Precious was absolutely lovely. However, the workshop is not at all worth £50. 1 small candle is what you make and spend most of the time colouring a cardboard box to put the candle in. A lot of the fragrances are also empty/smell very artificial. I’d say it’s worth around £15/£20 maximum. Wouldn’t recommend unfortunately.
  • 5/5 from Seema Shah, attended Feb 2025: Loved this class! We were celebrating a friend’s 60th and it was the perfect activity. We made our own signature scent and Precious talked us through the process and also gave suggestions. Our candles smelt heavenly and can’t wait for the 2 weeks so we can burn them! Perfect way to spend a Saturday afternoon x
  • 5/5 from Anonymised ClassBento customer, attended Jan 2025: I went to this on a date. The host was lovely, accommodating and knowledgeable. The atmosphere was really friendly and chill too. Would very likely do this again!
  • 5/5 from Sherrifatu, attended Jan 2025: Fab experience, Precious was amazing - so fun, informative and encouraging! There were lots of scents on offer, and Precious was so knowledgable about what to add to make your candle smell special. All materials provided, and time really flew by. Great way to spend a birthday
  • 5/5 from Lola Lewis, attended Dec 2024: Precious and Rose were aboslutely fabulous at hosting our corporate candle making class. The team enjoyed it very mush and I would recommend them highly! Hoping to book another event with them again soon!
  • 5/5 from Anonymised ClassBento customer, attended Nov 2024: I have both purchased a candle and attended one of Gia Como's engaging and fun classes. The customer service and attention to detail from Precious is impeccable and I would recommend everyone to purchase a beautifully scented candle and give the engaging classes a go!
  • 5/5 from Lauren, attended Nov 2024: Precious is such a warm, friendly, punctual, and patient professional. Highly recommend the candle making workshop experience - it's such a fun, interactive, social, and educational group activity.
  • 5/5 from Michelle Barnes, attended Oct 2024: I booked this class for a sister date and it was absolutely fantastic; definitely value for money! From start to finish, the experience was so enjoyable and engaging. The instructor, Precious, was knowledgeable, patient, and passionate about the craft, making sure everyone felt comfortable and confident as we worked through each step. I loved learning the art of blending scents (got my math on lol), wax melting, and wick maintenance. By the end, I left with gorgeous (if I do say so myself) handmade candle and newfound skills. I highly recommend this class to anyone looking for fun, good vibes and a hands-on experience!
  • 5/5 from Georgia Morrison, attended Oct 2024: Amazing afternoon making candles! Went solo and had a great tine meeting the rest of the group. Precious was super helpful in giving advice and creating a welcoming atmosphere!! Highly recommend
  • 5/5 from Mehru, attended Sep 2024: Had an amazing experience at the candle making workshop! Met the CEO, Precious who is an absolute darling so kind and welcoming. I fell in love with all the scents specially the Amalfi Coast it’s lasted us for months!! Definitely coming back for another workshop and have told all my friends and family about the candles.
  • 5/5 from Miranda, attended Sep 2024: I really enjoyed my first candle making class. The venue was easy to get to and the setting inside was relaxing and intimate. Our tutor, Precious, certainly knows her stuff. Who knew that you needed to smell coffee granules to clear your nostrils so that you didn't have 'scent overload'!! It was so much fun. Also a brilliant idea for a social night at home with a group of friends. I would definitely recommend attending one of Gia Como's classes.
  • 5/5 from Saj, attended Sep 2024: came here for my birthday and what an experience it was! I really loved it, would recommend Gia Como to everyone who is thinking about it. so many options of scents to chose from.

  • 5/5 from Micha Oates, attended May 2024: I love my candle! Super easy to follow the instructions and lots of fun. Great hosts!
  • 5/5 from Anonymised ClassBento customer, attended May 2024: The hosts were brilliant, so friendly and happy to help with us novices when it came to candle making. The jars and scents were really good quality and I didn't feel rushed when making my candle. I loved that there were pens and stickers to make our candles. The course was free to us (paid for by our building) but I have lucked out - they look, feel and smell so expensive!
  • 5/5 from Nicky, attended May 2024: We had a private booking and Precious was great! We had so much laughter and was surprised to receive personalised goodie bags plus cocktails. I’m not sure if my candle will win any awards anytime soon but Precious made us feel like we could. Thank you Precious! BOOK NOWWWWW
  • 4/5 from Judith Sigogo, attended May 2024: I liked that it was done in a small group of about 10 people which meant lots of opportunity to have conversations with the host. Location was cosy. Host was very welcoming, patient and issued clear instructions. Enjoyed making my own scent and naming it. Great activity to do with friends.
  • 5/5 from Sarai, attended Mar 2024: Enjoyable, educational and great afternoon. An affordable, fun activity to take part in and be able to come away with your scented candle designed by yourself! The instructor, Precious, knows all about her scents and what pairs well. She's clear and concise and will help every step of the way to create your candle!
  • 5/5 from Ella, attended Mar 2024: I have always loved scented candles so when I heard Gia Como was hosting a candle-making workshop I jumped at the opportunity learn how create my own candle from scratch. The hostess Precious was welcoming, had a wealth of information and advice, not just in the candlemaking process & ingredients but also its after-care. Apart from creating our own candles, we had the opportunity to design our own packaging box to house our Candles, which I thought was fantastic. All in all and absolutely enjoyable day and one I would highly recommend.
  • 5/5 from Amber, attended Mar 2024: Gia Como’s candle-making workshop with Precious is a great! We got to make our own fragrance which was unique and new! Precious guided us all the way. Totally worth checking out!
  • 5/5 from Judah, attended Mar 2024: Precious led the workshop wonderfully, very friendly and engaging with everyone. The workshop itself was very informative and also fun - I attended the first session and everyone seemed to have a great time learning how to make the candles. I’m glad I came! 5/5 from me, no notes, Gia Como has a fan for life!
