Aromatherapy Candle Making Class Reviews

This is a fun activity in Whitechapel, London

Learn to make a natural candle at our London studio, from essential oils alone. Candle making is a quietly absorbing hour: you focus on the scent and the pour, and the rest of the day falls away.

Your tutor starts you off with the fragrance families and how top, heart and base notes work together. You smell your way through the Yougi signature blends and choose the one your candle is for: sleep, energy, calm or lift.

Then you make it. You heat the eco soy wax, measure in your essential oils, set the cotton wick and pour your own 170ml candle. It sets before the class ends, so it goes home with you the same evening, with around 35 hours of burn.

A hand-poured candle makes a present that looks like you spent more than you did. Come with a name in mind and leave with the gift made.

For teams, hen parties and celebrations, we run the studio privately: everyone blends their own, everyone leaves with theirs. Message us with your dates and group size.

We have two London studios, at Marble Arch and Whitechapel. Each date shows its location, and full directions go out with your booking.

“Was OK. I wish they would have given us more time to smell the oils, spent more time per oil, and they had more oils on the table to go around. We didn't manage to smell everything, as certain smells weren't available on our side of the table, so we had to scramble to look around. Since there were maybe 6 people per vial, and the teacher went fast, we were still waiting to smell oil 1 when the teacher was explaining oil 3. Or she was explaining an oil that wasn't available to us. Got one candle to take home, smells great.”

“gorgeous space gorgeous teacher the different bottles of oils were already preblended - which i wasnt expecting. i thought there would be different aromatherapy oils and we could create our own blends (ie lemongrass, jasmine, ylang ylang on their own)”

“I enjoyed the class. The setup was very nice: all the materials are high quality and the set of essential oils was extensive. The teacher was very lovely and explained everything about materials, the process and the story behind the company hosting the workshop. The only reason for 4 stars is that the process of making candles is really simple. So I would have liked it if we could choose essential oils and try mixing them instead of using ready made combinations.”
