Bayou Rose

Bayou Rose is a French Quarter fragrance apothecary on Dumaine Street where small-batch perfumes are custom blended and candles are poured by hand. Alongside its walk-up perfume bar for bespoke personal scents, the studio hosts hands-on candle-making workshops where you choose and combine fragrances and pour your own vessel. It doubles as a shop of refillable luxury candles and gifts, run by an owner regulars describe as warm and knowledgeable.

The move: Build a scent together at the perfume bar, then pour and take home your own hand-blended candles in a small workshop.

📍 Before you go Workshops post on a rolling monthly schedule and sell out; check the site or message ahead to confirm the next candle session and reserve spots.
