About this experience
Nestled in the cool breeze of Da Lat, this sensory workshop celebrates the highlands' iconic botanical treasures through the art of candle making. Discover how to create clean-burning, eco-friendly candles infused with pure essential oils and decorated with naturally dried local flowers. Under the warm guidance of our chandler, you will explore top, middle, and base fragrance notes—from fresh highland pine and lemongrass to soothing French lavender grown in Da Lat valleys. You will calculate fragrance loads, pour creamy plant-based soy wax at optimal temperatures, and thoughtfully arrange colorful dried petals around the jar perimeter. While the candles set, enjoy a cozy cup of herbal tea and learn best practices for candle care and wick trimming. You'll leave with a gorgeous amber glass botanical candle and wax aroma sachet to infuse your home with the fragrance of Da Lat.
