5 /5 Heather Bendit: Top of line: Visiting Hudson for the day? Make this your first stop!!
Details: Where to begin?? The vibe is quietly upscale. The store design and layout are clearly well thought out. The process of creating a unique, one-of-a-kind and yes, bespoke luxury item was also very well thought out to maximize the experience. The end product is a deliciously smelling candle in a beautiful receptacle of your own choosing, elegantly packaged and ready for gifting. You should probably make two.
The locally sourced beer, wine and light nibbles also contributed nicely to the experience.
Shout-out: to staffer Cody, “The Nose”. His incredible ability to visualize a fragrance story, his passion for the product, and his friendly and collaborative style truly elevated the experience.
Notes: The candle takes about two hours to cure. Plan to return to the shop after you’ve done the tour of Warren St. Or, you can arrange to have it shipped for a very reasonable fee.
UPDATE: My candle arrived within less than a week, safe and sound and beautifully packaged. Also came with detailed instructions, which are quite helpful.
