Serious about Scent

 

Our sense of smell is powerful—it’s tied to memory, emotion, and identity. A single scent can transport you to a moment in time, evoke feelings long forgotten, 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.

When you walk into Wick, you’re not just shopping—you’re exploring. Every fragrance we offer is an invitation to revisit a memory or create a new one. Whether you're drawn to the clean scent of fresh linen, the comforting aroma of warm vanilla, or the refreshing notes of citrus and sea salt, our goal is to help you find your personal scent story.

We understand that scent is deeply personal. That’s why our entire experience is built around helping you discover or recreate a scent that resonates with you. Through our hands-on candle pouring sessions and custom fragrance bar, we make it easy to mix, match, and experiment. You can pour your own soy candle, craft a room spray, or infuse a reed diffuser—each item made by you, for you.

Our products also make meaningful gifts for birthdays, weddings, housewarmings, corporate events, or holidays. Candle-making at Wick isn’t just an activity—it’s a creative, interactive journey through memory and mood.

Whether you're celebrating a birthday, planning a girls' night out, or simply treating yourself to something special, Wick offers a creative, memory-making experience. Every product you pour here becomes a one-of-a-kind gift—to yourself or someone you love.

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.
