The Scent Queens Candle Company & Apothecary Shoppe

The Scent Queens Candle Company & Apothecary Shoppe Two husbands looking out for everyone by offering luxury candles at an affordable price. High quality yet completely affordable. What is a fragrance oil you ask?

We offer handmade candles in various sizes within various vessels, along with wax melts, fun shapes & pillars. Our very own hand-made & hand-poured candles in life-inspired (and holiday) scents that awaken your senses, invoke nostalgia & catapult you to far away places. Frame your mood with our enticing fragrances. We even offer handmade room sprays, soaps, sugar scrubs, unique home decor items,

house plants, dry teas and roasted coffee beans. We chose essential & fragrance oils that are not tested on animals. And trust when we say they are free of those nasty a** parabens, phthalates, carcinogens, toxins, and other hazardous chemicals commonly found in other (and cheap) fragrance oils. So all of our candle lines and collections are non-toxic. Well, because essential oils are not available for every scent that we (or any other candlemaker or even soap makers) like to use, synthetic fragrance chemicals are available to us that come in either powder or liquid form. And we use these safe, concentrated compounds when no essential oil is available to create the scent of, let's say chocolate or apples. Our waxes are made of 100% Natural Soy and sometimes we use 100% Natural Beeswax to create unique molded pillar candles (and will be labeled as such for those that believe the use of Beeswax is non-vegan) and we can assure you the process of which the Beeswax is procured, no harm is done to any bees. Also, our wicks are 100% all-natural ring-spun cotton and do not contain zinc, lead or any other metals. They also have a natural wax coating, comprised of vegetable wax to make the wicks easy to light and so they produce no harmful smoke. We want to give you some peace of mind by letting you know we only work with the safest supplies available. We will always be committed to using the safest, highest quality, most thoroughly tested fragrance and essential oil lines in the industry. It's OK to Blind Buy--Be Daring, Live That Best Life! We get it ... OMG do we f*cking get it! When it comes to finding a signature scent or just a fun fragrance but scared it's going to smell like cat piss & baby powder, we got you. It's scary to buy sh*t online--trust--we know! So that's why we tried to take the scary part out of it by creating unique fragrances that literally smell like we state. We create stories for some of our signature lines and we list all the oils and notes for most of our candles. We have style, we have grace...better yet, we have taste! Our candles have undergone rigorous smell tests and smell exactly like the label and description says. Our test subjects have been parents (yes, even the helicopter kind), children and pet-owners (and yes, even the helicopter kind). And besides, that's what reviews are for, so check those out! We can 100% say we have yet to receive a bad review on here or on our social media. And we welcome feedback no matter what. We do not believe in all the bullsh*t retail mark-ups, expensive a** packaging and celebrity endorsements, so that the cost savings... go to you. Let us help you find your fragrance at a fraction of the cost, because we truly believe in luxury for less.

If you know us, you know our home and garden well haha.

So we present to you our brand new front garden design of our home. We toned it down a bit with all the overgrowth while still keeping the cottage garden feel. It just has to grow out some now with all the new stuff we planted and will continue to plant.

We're so excited to see what next Spring & Summer will bring. Just happy to help out the birds, bees and butterflies. And not having grass to mow has been amazing for the past few years haha.

Tell us what you think.

We made our entire monthly booth rent back in TWO DAYS...and... we did it during a 20% OFF mall-wide sale at πšƒπš‘πšŽ π™½πšŽπš  π™»πš’πš—πšŒπš˜πš•πš— π™°πš—πšπš’πššπšžπšŽ π™ΌπšŠπš•πš•

We’re still learning, but if your antique booth isn’t moving, here are a few things we’ve learned along the way:

PRICE IT RIGHT. Research what things actually sell forβ€”not just what someone is asking online.

DEVELOP YOUR EYE. Taste matters. Not everything old is interesting, desirable or worth buying.

SHOP WHAT YOU LOVE. If it makes you stop and smile, chances are someone else will feel it too.

KNOW THE TRENDS. Pay attention to what people are collecting and decorating with, but filter those trends through your own taste.

CURATE, DON’T JUST FILL. Your booth should have a point of view. More stuff doesn’t necessarily mean more sales.

MAKE IT A TREASURE HUNT. Create layers, move things around and give people a reason to slow down and look.

CONDITION MATTERS. Patina is character. Damage is still damage. Know the difference and price accordingly.

Your booth should look like YOU, not everyone else’s. It's only September 6th and we've done well over our booth price already and fairly new to having our own antique booth, but between running our Apothecary Shoppe, Secret Parlour event space, collecting for years, selling antiques and now curating spaces for The Midnight Treasury, we’ve learned a LOT about what makes people stop, look, pick something up...and actually buy it.

Come treasure hunt our gorgeous Victorian Inspired booth at The New Lincoln Antique Mall located at 3115 W. Irving Park Rd.

Bring an authentic piece of Kyoto’s heritage to your daily tea ritual.

We are so excited to drop this incredibly stunning, authentic vintage Kyo-Kiyomizu-yaki (ζΈ…ζ°΄η„Ό) tea set.

Handmade in Kyoto, Japan, this artisan set features a beautifully delicate stoneware body decorated with hand-painted crimson and white Tsubaki (wild camellia/poppy) blossoms, a classic symbol of winter-into-spring elegance.

Unlike mass-produced pottery, authentic Kiyomizu ware is celebrated for its incredibly refined clay blends and lightweight, glass-like hand feel. Look closely at the glaze to see the exquisite microscopic kannyu (crazing) details that give this set its unique organic texture.

Includes its original Kyoto Kiyomizu-yaki Cooperative Association gold stamp of regional authenticity.

Set Includes: 1 Teapot (with pristine woven split-rattan handle) + 5 Matching Handleless Tea Cups (Yunomi).

Condition: Excellent vintage condition. No chips or cracks. Features gorgeous intentional glazing crackle lines.

Origin: Certified handmade studio pottery from Kyoto, Japan.

And just like that…the door closes one final time.

The Secret Parlour is empty, well some stunning antique pieces were left behind thanks to the new tenant purchasing them and for keeping the space the same gorgeous design we created.

What started as an idea became a space filled with authentic antiques, candlelight, laughter, conversations, celebrations and more than a little magic.

And to the spirits who may have shared this old space with us...thank you for your kindness, for allowing us to be here and for peacefully sharing your home with everyone who passed through these doors. We leave it with the same respect with which we entered.

The Parlour served its purpose beautifully. And sometimes, knowing when an experience is complete is part of creating the next one.

So I turned off the lights, took one last look and closed the door.

The Secret Parlour has ended.

A new experience is about to begin.

Onward to The Midnight Treasury and Andersonville.

Ps... If you ever want your home or space to look like a Victorian Parlour, hit us up... It is our specialty.

12 Metal Dining Room/Banquet chairs that also stack so easily. They're black with matte finish.

We used these in our Apothecary Shoppe at 3728 W Montrose Ave for candle classes/workshops in our Secret Parlour. So they're basically like new.

Not looking to break them apart, perfect for parties, banquets and extra seating as they can be easily stored in basement or garage when not needed or perfect for actual dining room seating if you're into the industrial look.

$40 for all 12.
Pick up at 3728 W Montrose Ave.
