Serious about Scent | About Wick: A Candle Bar
Our sense of smell is powerful—it’s tied to memory, emotion, and identity. A single fragrance can transport you to another place, bring back meaningful moments, or remind you of someone special. At Wick: A Candle Bar, we believe scent isn’t just something you wear or light; it’s something you feel. That’s why we’ve created Jacksonville’s favorite destination for custom candles, DIY candle making, and immersive candle-pouring experiences.
When you walk into Wick, you’re not just shopping—you’re exploring. Our fragrance bar features an extensive collection of high-quality scents, each one designed to inspire creativity and connection. Whether you're drawn to clean aromas like fresh linen, warm and comforting notes like vanilla, or refreshing blends of citrus and sea salt, our goal is to help you discover the perfect scent for your custom candle or home fragrance product. Every fragrance we offer is an invitation to revisit a memory or create a new one.
Because scent is deeply personal, our entire experience focuses on helping you find—or recreate—a fragrance that truly resonates. Through our hands-on candle pouring sessions, you can mix, match, and experiment with dozens of premium scents. Craft your own soy candle, blend a custom room spray, or design a signature reed diffuser—all made by you and tailored to your unique style.
Our custom-poured products also make meaningful gifts for birthdays, weddings, housewarmings, corporate events, and holidays. Whether you’re planning a team-building activity, hosting a private event, or looking for the perfect personalized gift, Wick: A Candle Bar offers a creative, interactive experience that people of all ages love. Candle making at Wick isn’t just an activity—it’s a memory-making journey through scent.
No matter the occasion—birthday celebrations, girls’ nights out, date nights, or simply treating yourself—Wick provides a welcoming space to relax, create, and connect. Every candle, spray, or diffuser you pour becomes a one-of-a-kind product and a meaningful keepsake. At Wick, you don't just choose a fragrance—you create your personal scent story.
A Local, Family-Owned Experience
Wick is proudly owned and operated in Jacksonville by mother and son team Kris and Hampton Barnes. Their journey began with a shared love for candles and the ritual of lighting them at life’s most meaningful moments. What started as a kitchen table idea has grown into a scent-focused space where the community can come together, relax, and create.
Kris brings warmth and hospitality to every visit, while Hampton brings a passion for design and detail. Together, they’ve created more than just a store—they’ve created an experience. One that feels approachable, fun, and entirely personalized.
