How it works

ScentLab is a one-of-a-kind, 90-minute workshop designed to spark creativity, collaboration, and connection through the power of scent.

Your team will dive into a playful and educational experience filled with hands-on candle making, scent-themed games, and trivia that unlock the fascinating science behind fragrance. Guided by expert facilitators, participants explore scent composition, take creative risks, and encourage each other—all while having a blast.

Each guest leaves with a custom 8oz candle they crafted themselves and a recipe card to remember how they made their unique creation.

More than just a workshop, ScentLab fosters team bonding by encouraging curiosity, communication, and moments of discovery that inspire and delight.

Get ready for an event that transforms your typical team-building into an unforgettable sensory adventure—where connections are made, creativity shines, and your space smells incredible.
