I absolutely love Palmetto Scent Studio and have had the pleasure of being a loyal customer since the first location opened at Freshfields Village. I visit every time we are on Seabrook Island and make a custom Xmas candle (each year) that is everyone’s favorite gift. I cannot say enough about the owner, Glenda, and her amazing team. Everyone is truly wonderful. Sending my best wishes for this holiday season and look forward to seeing you in early 2024. Cheers - XoXo

We were her pre COVID when they had just opened. Great scents, great people. This is our first visit back since then and we are so happy the business survived and is thriving! Love the interactive mixology, selection and dispersal methods. Scents for everyone. Soothing, energizing, relaxing, you name it. Even Charleston Harbor! Great for individuals, couple and groups!

My husband and I decided to make our own candles while on vacation at Kiawah Island. Creating our own scents from the wall of oils and drawing on our individual labels to identify our scent on the jar was inspiring. When we returned to pick up our candles I decided to create my own scented body wash as well. What a wonderful way to personalize a gift for someone special and spend quality time together!

Had an excellent time here for a birthday weekend trip. They were extremely helpful, pleasant, and super friendly. Would extremely recommend to anyone interested in making their own candles/wax melts. Reasonably priced for those concerned!

I have been into PSS a handful of times and typically had a great experience, especially with Glenda! She is the best and I loved making my candles and talking with her and her daughter. I love the bracelet I bought that Glenda's daughter made and wear it all the time. Every time I have gone into the studio, no one told me I was supposed to have a reservation and I was always able to make a candle when I went in. I don't mind waiting, but since no one ever told me I was supposed to make a reservation I did not know to. I went in during the day and started smelling scents on the wall- typically what I would do. The woman working- not Glenda, she was not there- rushed over and told me I had to use the scent strips instead of picking up the candle. I have never heard such a thing and the strips don't smell the same as the candles. Then when I said I wanted to make a candle she said I need a reservation and was very rude to my boyfriend and I. Then she walked away and starting helping other customers. We felt very uncomfortable so we just walked out. I don't think I will return unless I see Glenda working.

When you're visiting Freshfields Village, Palmetto Scent Studio is a MUST! I went to the PSS in downtown and had a stellar experience so was extra stoked to visit this one. It's so much fun picking out an item to make (from body care to reed diffusers) and then up to 2-3 scents for said item. There's so many scents to choose from and I like how they categorize it according to themes like fruity, local favorites, earthy, etc. so it's less overwhelming. Anne helped us on our scent-sational journey and was super patient with our indecisions haha they go over each respective task like how to swirl your scents for the candle, how much to add for the roll-on, the amount to add in the cute mini beakers. (A drop goes a long way!) Pro-tip: the candles need around 2 hours to dry which is helpful instead of waiting a day to pick them up like some candle places..just be careful when driving them home. In the 2 hours there's loads to check out at the shopping plaza so time definitely flies by! Just be back before they close at 6pm!! The music they played was incredible too!! Like I knew each song!? Lol it's a bit of a drive from me so will most likely visit the downtown location again but overall just adore the concept of this establishment. Great way to allow your creative side come out to play!

We went in earlier in the morning and the lady (I believe the owner) “helping” us was extremely rude and condescending to my mother, who was simply trying to understand the process. I’m more than disappointed that such a business takes up space in our community as locals.

Palmetto Scent Studio has a wide variety of candle fragrances, and most smell quite nice. They have a wide variety of other body products, too. Their scents come in single-scent, pre-done blends, or you can create their own. With having a similar price point as Rewined and Candlefish, I noticed that Palmetto Scent studio's product presentation isn't as nice and the candle scents do not permeate as much as their competitors.

My happy place! We love Palmetto Scent Studio. Love both locations. Great customer service and huge selection of scents. This place for sure will put a smile on your face. Our favorite wax melts and room sprays have been created.

I had the best time at the downtown location today! Zamerrah was working and she was so nice and helpful as I created my own scents! I am from out of town and didn't think about how long the candles would take to harden and cool. I am leaving in the morning before the shop opens so my only option was to have them shipped because they wouldn't be done before the shop closed for the evening. She let me come back about a half hour after closing to grab my candle and I am so appreciative! I highly recommend going and checking out the shop!!!

I went and the people were fine but when I got home to burn the candle it burned straight down and didn’t spread wasn’t worth the money at all and I completely regret wasting my money here save urself the time and just don’t go
