This studio, run by two founders, is tucked away in a residential building just a two-minute walk from the station. The studio offers a wide selection of these DIY courses to suit various skill levels. Options range from beginner-friendly handmade candles and diffusers to advanced perfumery, KCCA, and CLAB professional instructor certification programs. They also have an A+B course add-on package, allowing students to experience more crafting projects in one visit. To maintain high teaching quality, all classes are kept small, with a maximum of six students, and one-on-one guidance is available. The studio's warm atmosphere and flexible scheduling create a relaxing environment perfect for focusing on essential oil candle creation. Beyond the crafting experience, the studio thoughtfully provides refreshments like coffee and cookies. There's also a small photo studio with various props on-site, making it easy for students to capture beautiful photos of their finished creations. ### BEYOND SCENT 香氛工作室 Mystery Shopper's Take Review #Mix and Match Your Favorite Candle Workshops REVIEWED BY [Myling](https://www.twosevenths.com/en/tag/myling/) For this dried flower Taipei Candle DIY experience, Myling was a little late, but felt immediately at ease upon entering the venue. The instructor had already prepared the semi-finished products and carefully explained the steps. There were over twenty single and blended Korean essential oils for Myling to choose her favorite scent, after which she could decorate with her preferred dried flowers. Compared to a certified candle-making course, an experience workshop focuses more on the hands-on process and doesn't delve into too much theory. However, the BEYOND SCENT instructor was still very happy to share knowledge during casual conversation. This venue is highly recommended for knowledge-seeking craft enthusiasts. Since it was a holiday, the instructor specially prepared festive packaging, carefully wrapping the finished candle into a gift box, and even offered to take beautiful side-profile photos. The studio also offers various discounts and small gifts for pairs, returning students, and birthday celebrants, providing flexible and thoughtful service.

This venue is nestled in a quiet alley, with convenient parking nearby due to its proximity to a school. The L-shaped interior is spacious, with an atmosphere reminiscent of a magic academy. In addition to a wide selection of scented candles and diffusers for purchase, the venue also boasts hundreds of essential oils for students to choose from for their creations.

Besides Taipei Candle DIY, the venue also offers handmade diffuser and fragrance courses, and can accommodate group events for up to 20 people. ### WISH TREE Mystery Shopper's Take Review #Hundreds of essential oils ensure your signature scent REVIEWED BY [曼娣](https://www.twosevenths.com/en/tag/%E6%9B%BC%E5%A8%A3/) WISH TREE is bright and spacious, with large floor-to-ceiling windows that let in natural light, making Mandy feel instantly relaxed upon entering. The two enthusiastic French bulldog "store managers," Douyou and Dougan, are so adorable they make everyone exclaim, "So cute!" and add a lot of fun to the class. At the beginning of the Taipei Candle DIY class, the instructor first asked Mandy to sample and select a few favorite essential oils. WISH TREE offers hundreds of essential oil varieties, with limited-edition scents appearing periodically, making it hard not to feel overwhelmed by choices. However, the instructor was very patient and never rushed her. Next, based on Mandy's selected essential oils, the instructor suggested suitable proportions for different notes, allowing Mandy to mix them herself and record each addition on high-quality kraft paper. The class offered a high degree of freedom. Once the essential oil blend was finalized, she added it to the melted wax, and after it solidified, the candle was complete! Finally, the instructor asked Mandy to name her creation and affix a label, creating a fully customized and personal touch. It's worth noting that WISH TREE's packaging uses a high-quality paper box, and the paper bag is meticulously tied with a ribbon, making the exquisitely packaged finished product perfect for personal use or as a gift. The entire experience was easy, with the instructor providing careful assistance throughout. The immersive, aromatic experience was therapeutic, and even first-time participants in a scent-blending class needn't worry. The instructor repeatedly checked satisfaction and feelings about the scent, offering suggestions and assistance to achieve any desired outcome, ensuring everyone can create a satisfying scented candle.

In addition to selling their stylish candles at various locations, they also host professional candle-making workshops, inviting the public to experience the joy of creation firsthand. The studio's workshops primarily feature small classes of 18 students or fewer, centered around popular fragrance candle DIY. For those interested in specific styles like jelly candles or essential oil candles, one-on-one customized instruction can also be booked. The curriculum is designed for beginners, starting with the fundamental knowledge of candle making to ensure newcomers feel comfortable. The workshops also cover techniques for arranging dried flowers, their unique characteristics, and how to design layered fragrances. Located about a 7-minute walk from Liuzhangli MRT Station, the venue is very convenient to access. All candle-making equipment and materials are provided by the studio, so students can easily complete their creations without needing to bring anything extra. ### Eye Candle 造型蠟燭工作室 Mystery Shopper's Take Review #Cool Instructor in a Mysterious Studio REVIEWED BY [Ping](https://www.twosevenths.com/en/tag/ping-1/) Eye Candle is tucked away in an alley and can be easily missed, so be sure to pay attention to the address. The classroom is located in the B1 studio, with multiple shelves displaying all the candle and fragrance ingredients, making it feel like a mysterious laboratory—perfect for photos. Unfortunately, the classroom is not very well-ventilated, so those sensitive to scents might find it a bit uncomfortable at first. However, Eye Candle is currently undergoing a renovation and will soon unveil a new look. The studio will be easier to find, and the class environment may also be more comfortable! The instructor at Eye Candle, though cool and reserved, is still very meticulous in their teaching, with an assistant also on hand to help. However, Ping felt that the candles made with the fragrances provided in the classroom had a rather strong scent, perhaps not ideal for a bedroom but better suited for more spacious areas like a living room or studio.

For group needs, the studio can also arrange corporate private classes. ### Qing 青手作皂 Mystery Shopper's Take Review #Taipei Candle DIY with an amazing afternoon tea REVIEWED BY [Ping](https://www.twosevenths.com/en/tag/ping-1/) Qing Handmade Soap ensures every student can keep up, so they typically host only one student at a time, with the instructor and assistant dedicated solely to you. Ping was completely overwhelmed by the personalized attention. Of course, if you want to arrange a class with friends, that's perfectly fine too. The Taipei Candle DIY course offers a selection of 28 essential oils and fragrances! Ping spent ages just trying to decide on a scent. The aromas provided by the venue are all wonderfully mellow and pleasant, and after going home, she couldn't stop smelling her jelly candle creation, filled with a sense of pure happiness. These candle DIY courses use natural, human-safe ingredients, and shea butter is added as needed, so your finished handmade candle can also double as a massage oil. What's even more special is that the venue has a small kitchen dedicated to preparing snacks for students, and every class comes with an incredibly generous afternoon tea! Ping went home feeling completely full after class, thinking how incredibly thoughtful this venue was. With food, drinks, learning, and a finished product to take home, she suspected the owner was just looking to make friends. This is definitely the top choice for Taipei Candle DIY classes!

Even if you make a mistake, the instructor patiently guides you, and the giant burger candle you create at the end is incredibly satisfying. Ping brought it to the office, and all her colleagues were amazed—it's just so much fun! Before the experience, we messaged the venue's social media page to ask about course details and discuss the food items we wanted to make. The instructor was very patient and responded quickly. Overall, from registration to taking the finished product home, it was a fantastic experience. While 83 Studio's prices are higher, it's worth noting that in addition to a lavish afternoon tea and one-on-one instruction, they let you work until you're completely satisfied. You can also choose your preferred "food" items, such as fried chicken, beef patties, or vegetables. The price of the Taipei Candle DIY experience is the same as the finished product sold by the instructor, so you not only take home a creation but also learn the techniques—it's excellent value for money!
