A wonderful new boutique officially opened its doors last week in the Theatre District. Called ScentCerely Yours!, the business specializes in handmade, uniquely scented soy candles. Creator and owner, Sharon Snell, started making and selling her soy candles three years ago online and recently decided to open a storefront due to the high demand.
What better area to set up shop than along the newly reconstructed 600 block of Main Street? The reconstruction of Main Street happens to be one of the main reasons that she chose this exact location.
Inside the store, you will find an assortment of different candle styles and scents. Next to each candle candle is a coffee tin that the customer is invited to smell in-between sniffing the various candle scents. According to Sharon, the act of sniffing the coffee clears the previous scent, so that the customer can truly get an appreciation for the next experience. The ritual is kind of like eating a slice of ginger before moving on to another type of fish when out for sushi. The act of cleansing the palate makes the experience more enjoyable.
Other than handcrafted candles, decorative candle holders are also available for customers who are looking for last minute holiday presents. The store also has gift boxes, making shopping for a friend or a loved one a breeze. The gift sets also come with scented oils.
ScentCerely Yours! has a few creative ideas for the exterior of the shop during the warmer months, so stay tuned. Sharon is excited to be part of the downtown growth, and hopes to contribute in any way that she can. Now it’s up to us to support her shop whenever we are on the hunt for locally handcrafted candles.
