AURA Candle Bar

AURA Candle Bar offers a unique fragrance creation experience where guests design custom-scented candles and home fragrance products in an immersive studio environment. The candle bar provides both in-studio experiences and an online shop featuring AURA’s signature products and essentials.

The AURA Experience invites guests to explore, select, and create their perfect scent. Visitors begin by browsing an extensive candle wall featuring numerous fragrance options, then select their preferred vessel style from a curated collection. Guided by expert AURA Scent Consultants, participants craft custom fragrance blends for candles, diffusers, or wax melts during reserved one-hour sessions at the candle-pouring bar.

The studio accommodates individual sessions, small groups, and large private events. For groups over six guests, options include one-hour custom candle-making sessions, full studio rentals with two-hour minimums allowing BYO food and beverages, and multi-hour appreciation events for groups over 18. The Gift-of-Scent Experience provides beautifully packaged gift options and e-gift certificates.

AURA also offers wholesale partnerships for businesses, hotels, retail spaces, real estate professionals, spas, and product launches seeking signature scents that capture their brand essence. All products use high-quality, clean, vegan, and cruelty-free ingredients. The studio is located in Chicago’s vibrant Southport Corridor neighborhood.
