Should I make a reservation?
To secure a spot, we recommend making a reservation in advance. However, you are always welcome to drop by without a booking – we operate on a first-come, first-served basis as long as there are available spots.
You can easily book your spot via the link on this page, or contact us directly at +45 72421010. We look forward to welcoming you.
How long does it take?
The experience itself lasts about 45 minutes, but we’ve allocated a full hour so you can take your time and enjoy the process at your own pace.
Once you've blended your scented candle, the soy wax needs to solidify, and the candle will be ready to take home after 2 hours.
You are welcome to pick up your scented candle at any time during our hours of operation If you are unable to pick it up the same day, you can always do so later. However, we kindly ask that all candles be picked up no later than one week after they are made.
We look forward to giving you a cozy and creative experience.
Is the experience child-friendly?
The experience is child-friendly. However, please note that children under 12 years old must be accompanied by a responsible adult throughout the session.
Participation is at your own risk, and it is important that children follow the instructions and safety measures closely to ensure a safe and enjoyable experience for everyone.
Can I bring my own container to make my scented candle?
No, unfortunately it is not possible to bring your own container. Our containers are carefully selected and tested to ensure optimal burn time, are of high quality, and are fire safe.
For safety reasons and in order to provide the best experience, we cannot approve the use of personal containers as we cannot guarantee their fire safety.
When can I pick up my scented candle?
Once your candle is blended, the soy wax needs about 2 hours to set. You’re welcome to pick it up anytime during our hours of operation.
When does my experience at Stemning Copenhagen begin?
Your experience starts exactly at the time you’ve booked – neither earlier nor later.
This means that if you’ve booked for 2:00 PM, your session will start at 2:00 PM – even if you are delayed.
Once you’ve booked a spot, you have it for a full hour. The experience itself lasts about 45 minutes, but we’ve allocated a full hour so you can take your time to choose fragrances, pour your candle, and enjoy the process at your own pace.
Can I reorder the same candle I made before?
Each candle you create is unique and made by blending the fragrance oils yourself. We do not keep track of how you combine them, so we cannot recreate the exact scent you made last time. This is exactly what makes our concept special – you let your sense of smell guide you during the experience.
If you remember the fragrances you blended last time or have specific preferences, our fragrance experts are always ready to help you find the perfect scent combination.
Can we make one candle together as a group?
The experience is designed as an individual activity, so it is not possible for multiple people to create one candle together. We recommend that each participant makes their own candle instead. This ensures that everyone gets the full experience.
How many scents can I blend?
Typically, you can blend
2 to 4 scents..
We recommend blending a maximum of 4 scents to create a clear and harmonious
fragrance profile. This helps prevent the aromas from "clashing" and creating a muddled or
chaotic scent.
Is the price the same for all candles?
No, the price is not the same for all candles, as it depends on the container and size you choose. Our CLASSIC candles start from 299 DKK, and you can choose from three different colors. If you choose a DELUXE candle, the price starts from 375 DKK, and you have the option to select from two colors. Additionally, you can purchase wooden wicks for 5 DKK each if you want a special look or the crackling effect that a wooden wick provides.
Is the soy wax already melted, or do I melt it myself?
We melt the wax for you so that it's ready to use when you sit down at the table. First, you choose and blend your fragrance oils, then we give you a pre-warmed container with soy wax and a wick. After you've blended the fragrance oils, you pour them into the wax yourself and stir to evenly distribute the scent. You don't have to worry about stoves or melting pots – we've taken care of the practical part, so you can focus on the creative process.
Do you offer food and drinks?
To preserve the full experience of our fragrances, we do not serve food in the store. However, we do offer cold beverages – refreshing, organic juice made locally in Denmark. It's a light and natural treat, perfect for a short break during your visit. For a more complete experience, we recommend pairing your visit with a stop at one of the many cafés or restaurants nearby – there are plenty of great options just around the corner.
How do I transport my candle home?
When your candle is ready for pickup, we put a cork lid on it to keep the scent sealed. You can also purchase a bag to carry your candle in.
