If you’re ever in Chicago, make sure to stop in at for a unique experience! They’re a small business that’s passionate about their craft and provide excellent service.

Kristen and Aleesha are treasure troves of knowledge and they were our fragrance guides throughout our candle-making session.

You start by smelling the different candles in their showroom, and you list your top 3 (or 5-10) scents, and they’ll work one-on-one with you to narrow down your top, middle, and base notes. It’s fascinating to see how our chosen scents reflect/complement our personalities!

You’ll receive careful instruction on mixing your fragrance blends all the way to pouring it into the wax for setting. You also choose the vessel you want for your candle. My scents were Balsam Fir, Rosemary, and Mug & Brush. 🌿

It’s a fun thing to with family, friends, or as a unique date idea. ❤️
Limited edition travel-inspired candles. Because the best trips—and the best scents—don’t last forever. 🛫🌍

We created these three blends for this year’s Coffee Stroll, and after seeing how much our guests loved experiencing them, we decided to pour a small additional batch for our wider community.

Three destinations. Three ways to travel through scent. Created by our team of certified perfumers, with the special limited time price of $30.

The collection:
🍊 Seville — Golden citrus, soft neroli, and warm coffee notes. Like a slow morning at a Spanish café.
🌸 Kyoto — Delicate florals, fresh greenery, ginger, and smooth coffee for a peaceful garden escape.
🌄 Yosemite — Crisp forest air, petrichor, and rich coffee inspired by quiet mountain mornings.

Visit our studio to experience them while we still have them!

Give something personal. Gift an experience. 🌿

At AURA, each visit is a guided journey of scent—exploring fragrance, creating something one-of-a-kind, and leaving with a blend that is entirely your own.

Because the most meaningful gifts aren’t just given. They’re experienced.

Our Social Media Manager, Ashley, and Chief Development Officer, Brittany, visited Aura Candle Bar in Chicago to create a custom candle scent inspired by Paws for a Cause Vet Care!

Aura Candle is known for its hands-on candle-making experience while also supporting local nonprofits and giving back to the community. We truly had such a great time creating something unique together!

Their support for our mission is especially meaningful! Aura’s family dog, Zara, visits us for annual vaccines. Even better, Zara was a nominee in our Ales for Tails contest!

We are incredibly grateful to have supporters throughout Chicagoland, especially local and unique small businesses like Aura Candle Bar that believe in making a difference 🤍

What does 150 years of the Chicago Cubs smell like to you? ⚾️

To celebrate Opening Day 2026, Kristen created a fragrance blend inspired by the feeling of Chicago baseball—rich traditions, summer air blowing over the lake, and the magic of Wrigley Field. With notes of mug & brush, leather, and champagne, the final result is grounded and herbaceous, lifted by an ozonic freshness and a subtle, celebratory energy.

At AURA, every candle starts with a story. We would love to host you to create your own candle inspired by your favorite pastime — whether that’s baseball, travel, music, or the moments that matter most.

Reservations are available through the link in our bio.

Be sure to check out the three limited edition fragrance blends we created, inspired by travel and coffee (while supplies last).

🍊 Seville: Golden citrus, soft neroli, and warm coffee notes — like a sunlit morning at a Spanish café.
🌸 Kyoto: Delicate florals, fresh greenery, and a spark of ginger blended with smooth coffee for a serene garden escape.
🌄 Yosemite National Park: Crisp forest air, earthy petrichor, and rich coffee capture the calm of a peaceful mountain morning.
