Frequently Asked Questions


What Does It Cost?

Your scent-blending experience starts at $48 - $56 per person, with final pricing based on the vessel you select. After pouring, enjoy 10% off home décor and gifts in our coastal-inspired boutique.

Each candle or reed diffuser is priced individually and charged at the time of your experience.

How long does the experience take?

Your immersive scent-blending experience typically takes about 45-60 minutes.

Candles

Candles require approximately 2 hours to cool before they’re ready to take home. For added convenience, shipping is available for $12/ea.


If you’d like to pick up your candle the same day, we recommend booking your experience at least 3 hours before closing to allow for proper cooling. Otherwise, you’re welcome to return and pick up your candle anytime within two weeks.

 

Planning a full outing? Sea Love is one of the most unique things to do in Kennebunkport—perfect for date nights, girls day out, and group experiences. We recommend pouring your candles first, then enjoying a nearby restaurant while they cool. Our boutique is just steps from local dining and shops, and we’re always happy to share our favorite recommendations.

Reed Diffusers

Reed Diffusers may be taken home immediately, or they can be shipped for $12.


Reservations & Walk-ins

Walk-ins are always welcome and may explore the fragrance wall and browse our coastal-inspired boutique while waiting for a seat. To provide a smooth and enjoyable experience for all guests, reservations are held for up to 5 minutes. If your full party has not arrived within that time, your seat(s) may be released.


There is no fee to reserve your experience. If your plans change, we kindly ask that you let us know so we may offer your spot to other guests.
