Masala Bazaar Candlemaking Workshop – Create Your Own Signature Scent!
Tucked away in the heart of Parnell you will find our intimate candle making workshop. Whether you're after a cozy experience by the fireplace at our in-store studio or a warm evening out in the sun tucked away behind Chocolate Boutique - our studio locations have it taken care of.
We offer a unique, hands-on experience where you’ll explore the power of scent, nostalgia, and creativity while crafting your own custom scent for a soy wax candle.
At Masala Bazaar, we honor our heritage by inviting you to step into our world and create instead of consume. Our candlemaking workshops are curated to connect people to their inner artisan through scent and imagination.
Come join us if you’re looking for a fun date night, birthday celebration, team-building event, or a relaxing self-care session, our workshops spark joy, meaningful conversations and create core memories at the bazaar.

Let customers speak for us
My friend & I had such a great afternoon making candles together, staff were excellent at explaining & helping along the way.
We can't wait to come back & make another candle!
My partner surprised me here with a date night and it was so nice to get to do something special that helped us feel connected, thankyou for offering such a new activity and an opportunity for us to unwind Masala Bazaar <3
We had the best time nestled away in Parnell making candles - if anyones looking for a different activity this time of year making your own candles is it! Loved the candle I made and got to go home with!
Really cute spot and was a fun night out doing something different with friends. Such a friendly host and left with the most beautiful scented candle after.
My friends and I had a wonderful time picking our scents and making our own candles. The atmosphere was very calming and the ladies who worked there were super kind and helpful. Would recommend!
We had a beautiful time at the candle making workshop, so fun to do something a little different and have a delicious candle to take home at the end of it!
Booked in with my girlfriends for a wholesome afternoon. As well as a candle we got to make a room diffuser. Really happy with the course and our host Lani :) Because we booked with a bigger group we went to the studio nestled in behind the chocolate boutique. A really relaxing space. The room spray I made is absolutely devine and would reccomend this course to anyone wanting a cute afternoon with friends and family :)
Absolutely gorgeous abaya, I think it is made of linen (?) Loose fitting and stylish. The hijab with it is absolutely stunning and so soft too
Very nice original smell. Only need to use small amount to get strong smell.
absolutely in LOVE with this. it's deep, rich, and sultry. but not too strong
The workshop is fun and easy to follow. Recommended, however it will be useful to also educate us about which scent combination works best, although leaving room to experiment is also great. Overall a really fun way to spend your time
This was such a lovely workshop! My family and I loved it. There's something magical about using our sense of smell to create something new and personal. The workshop space is cozy and right next to lots of cafes and restaurants. Simra was a really lovely host too. For the same/lower price as commercially made candles I'd absolutely come back just to make another one of my own!
This is styled so easily and it is the best purchase.
