AURA Candle Bar

AURA Candle Bar AURA is more than just a candle making class, it's a fragrance experience. This is where the magic begins! Whatever is more convenient for you.

We are a destination for anyone looking to escape from the ordinary, let your creativity soar, and make meaningful memories that last well past the final burn of the candle. During your visit, our scent consultants will guide you through an olfactory journey of over 100 scents while you jot down your favorites to sift through later. Once you’ve chosen the candle jar or home fragrance product you w

ould like to make, we will help you narrow your list down to a few fragrance choices that will blend well together. We will bring you your fragrance oils of choice so you can mix them in the perfect proportion to your liking before blending them into your candle, diffuser or wax melts. While your candle or wax melts cool, we highly recommend you explore the Southport Corridor neighborhood. Have dinner or drinks at one of the numerous restaurants or bars around our studio. Pick up your candle after you finish dinner or on another day! AURA is more than just a place to make candles. Note, although reservations are recommended, walk-ins are welcomed if we are not at full capacity! We can’t wait to pour with you!

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.

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.
