Welcome to Moonshot Studio

Moonshot Studio is a haven for your sense of smell and an inspirational spot to create your own signature fragrance blends in a fun process of “scentsory” discovery. Whether you make one candle or a range of custom-scented home and body products, the activity of choosing from among 80+ fragrances, blending your favorites into a personal fragrance medley and mixing the scentsational blend into a product of your choice is simple, entertaining and results in affordably luxurious items to treasure in your home and on your body.

Blending fragrances is an innovative experience enjoyed by people of a wide variety of ages, abilities and interests. Whether you come in with your child, your spouse, your date, your parent, your bestie, your friend group or as a solo fragrance adventurer, the selection and blending experience creates lasting memories.

The process of scent-blending and candle-making is included in our pricing. Below are a few of the items that are available to create, with custom-made candles starting at $32.

Candles

Candles, our most popular products, are made from a soy wax blend, cotton wicks and fragrance oils. They are clean-burning and long-lasting (approximately 40 hours of burning time for 7.5 oz.), with the natural ivory color of soy wax. We carry 7.5 oz. glass jars in 6 colors, 18 oz. 3-wick handmade ceramic vessels in 3 colors, as well as pre-made 4 oz. candles in gold-colored metal tins.

Reed Diffusers
& Wax Tarts

Reed diffusers and Wax Tarts provide flameless ways to disperse fragrance blends into your home, office, business and other indoor environments. These items are perfect for bringing beautiful scent into surroundings where a flame is not desirable or is not permitted (apartments, dorm rooms, retirement communities & other community spaces). We carry a limited selections of electric warmers for the Wax Tarts, too.

Room & Body Sprays

For a quick burst of scent that lasts for at least 3-5 hours per application, Room & Body Sprays are a great choice. These portable 2 oz. and 4 oz. mists are skin and fabric safe. Use them on your body as a lighter version of perfume, and as another flameless option for dispersing fragrance indoors -- as a way to scent your bed linens, refresh a car’s interior, mask odors or enhance your mood through scent.
