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.

What to Expect in Our Candlemaking Workshop 
Guided by our expert hosts, you'll:
✔ Curate your bespoke scent using premium fragrance blends (and your imagination)
✔ Create a soy wax container candle in a 120g amber glass jar 
✔ Customize your candle with a personalized label

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!

Great candle making class

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 :)

Workshop

We loved the setting and the decorations ! It was very cosy and intimate. We do feel that the workshop felt a bit rushed, with the host maybe having other commitments? We would have loved the science of the candle making to be incorporated into the workshop in the stages, and for a bit of information on what flavours compliment each other ! We hope your business thrives in the future, all the best for 2025 ❤️

Hey Isabelle!

Thankyou so much for your feedback and the lovely workshop. I do apologise again for if you felt rushed - that is not the experience we want for our attendees and we have definitely taken notes from our double handling yesterday to prevent such a situation in the future where the host has to juggle the store and the offsite 5/333 Parnell Road location so that both parties get the best experience.

I hope you're enjoying your warm and cozy candle and we look forward to seeing you in the future for the ginger scent that you also loved!

Fun workshop

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

Hi Tika! Thankyou so much for your feedback and glad you had a good time, we have had feedback requesting more support in scent combinations and while our approach has been to not limit you to any scent combinations and allow our attendees to create what ever they would like based off their vision, we understand that more structured guidance can be needed and we will be incorporating guidance sheets in our future workshops! We look forward to seeing you again to experience this!

Haya - Masala Scents

We are a WOC Owned South Asian Candle brand based in New Zealand.
South Asian culture is aromatic, rich in flavor and sophisticated in taste, we celebrate all of this in our little jars of masala.

Scent is the sense most closely linked to memory, that's why each one of our scent compositions has a story to tell. Scorching hot days filled with dhoop in the aangan of our home with cutting chai.

It is culture filled with memories that flows from the comfort of a candle.

Our products are all hand poured with pyaar in our Auckland home but true to our South Asian roots.

We bring the warmth of our home, our people & our pyaar (love) to your home
