Kandl Artistique operates a luxury candle boutique and hands-on candle-making laboratory at 88 Avenue Road in Yorkville, featuring signature hand-blown Polish glass vessels, French fragrances, and soy-based wax candles. This family-owned business with nearly 40 years of expertise offers both retail luxury candles and interactive 90-minute candle-making classes where participants choose from over 125 fragrance notes to create custom candles, along with private event hosting for groups of 10-30 people in their 2,500-square-foot licensed venue including Kandl Café.
Whether you're a passionate fragrance connoisseur or someone who simply luxuriates in a deliciously fragrant home, Kandl Artistique offers an extraordinary sensory experience dedicated to spreading the joy of candle-making. Walking into their heritage space feels like entering an artist's studio where fragrance becomes medium and creativity flows freely. The family behind Kandl has spent decades perfecting every element—from sourcing hand-blown blue vessels that travel 15,000 kilometers from Poland to partnering with France's top fragrance houses to create scents that capture urban sophistication.
The candle-making classes reveal the surprising artistry behind what many consider a simple craft. Participants discover the science of wick selection, the importance of soy wax quality, and how proper blending creates candles that burn evenly while releasing consistent fragrance. The 90-minute experience allows everyone from complete beginners to candle enthusiasts to take home professional-quality creations, with expert guidance ensuring successful results regardless of experience level.
Beyond individual classes, the venue transforms into an elegant event space for celebrations, complete with Kandl Café serving custom cocktails, Mariage Frères teas, matcha lattes, and artisanal espresso. Their exceptional gift selection features luxury fragrances from prestigious brands including Byredo, Cire Trudon, and Diptyque, alongside essential oils, candle-making kits, and exclusive diffusers that extend the scents-ory pleasure beyond the workshop experience.
