Can a scent tell your story? We discovered an innovative company, Vessel Candle Studio, at High Point Market. Ellen had the pleasure of meeting Haley Bunting, the owner and president of Vessel Candle Studio, and experienced the unique opportunity to create her own personal scented candle. This studio offers both consumers, designers and retailers the chance to bring their own unique scents into their homes and others (it makes a great gift!). Custom candle scents can tell your story and represent you.
Beyond Retail: Vessel Candle Studio’s Interactive Experience
Haley demonstrated the concept and process behind their studio. At High Point Market, our team was shown the hands-on experience where individuals custom blended their own scented candle. The process involves using 100% natural soy wax and allows customers and designers to engage with the staff about their creative vision. The goal is to create a scented candle that embodies the essence of an individual or brand, making a custom scent blend that reflects who each person is.
For consumers, Vessel Candle Studio has a dedicated candle studio in Carrboro, North Carolina. Here, you can participate in scent classes, pour your own scented candle, and even host parties. This interactive experience is perfect for those looking to tell their story through a personalized scent. And for designers and retailers, the option to create a white label candle is truly exciting.
The Science of Scent: Finding Your Perfect Blend
When asked about the process of choosing scents, Haley described it as akin to a science project. She shared how she draws inspiration from nostalgic memories, such as the florals from her mother’s garden. The studio encourages customers and designers to do the same—recalling life-changing trips or memorable moments associated with specific aromas. This experiential design approach ensures that the scent becomes a signature of each person.
In their studio, various oils and scents are available for blending. Haley emphasized the importance of understanding individual scent preferences. Whether you lean towards floral, bold, or earthy scents, the staff at Vessel Candle Studio helps you find the perfect blend. They also consider sensory sensitivities and ensure the final product is balanced and pleasant.
Vessel Candle Studio offers an amazing opportunity for everyone to create scented candles that tell a story and enrich the senses.
