Introduction
In a world that moves at breakneck speed, Lot 23 Chandler Co. invites you to pause, breathe, and lean into the subtle — and deeply personal — world of scent. At Lot 23, perfumery and candle‑making are not just products: they are experiences, stories, and rituals.
Their carefully curated workshops transform fragrance from something you simply wear into something you create, personalize, and carry with intention.
A Heritage of Scent, Story & Slow Living
Lot 23 Chandler Co. is more than a perfume studio: it’s a tapestry woven from childhood memories, cultural migrations, and a deep love for sensory storytelling. The brand’s origin traces back to childhoods in Guyana — where candle‑making by the light of blackout evenings, scented with citrus, spice, and rain-soaked earth, was a rite of home and memory.
Over the years, that early immersion in scent merged with a refined aesthetic cultivated through a career in high-end fashion on Fifth and Madison Avenue in New York. What started as domestic ritual transformed into craft, and eventually — with the building of a dedicated atelier — into Lot 23. In 2020, the founder returned to her roots; and by 2022, the “slow‑scent studio” had taken dramatic shape: workshops, refined blending methods, and a full-fledged boutique experience that honors memory, craftsmanship, and personal identity.
The guiding philosophy is simple yet profound: scent is memory made visible. Each blend — from candles to eau de parfum — carries traces of heritage, narrative, and personal emotion. It seeks to reconnect people: to their past, their senses, and themselves.
What Makes the Workshop Experience Special
Detail, intentionality, and sensory immersion define every workshop at Lot 23. Rather than rushing you through a pre‑designed process, the studio invites you into a slow, considered journey where you learn to “smell, sip, spark.”
Hands-on, sensorial, and guided sessions
Lot 23 offers a range of experiences — from intimate mini‑blending classes to full fragrance design sessions. For example:
- The “Express Parfum Creation” (also called the “Demure” experience) lets you explore fragrance families and create a travel‑sized (0.15 ml) signature scent.
- For those who want something more substantial, there is a 30 ml eau de parfum option in sessions such as the “No. 4.1 Eau de Parfum Experience” or the “No. 07 Eau de Parfum + Candle‑Making” workshop.
- If you yearn for depth and a real keepsake, the “No. 23 Eau de Maison — 50 mL Custom Perfume Class” allows you to craft a full-size fragrance. In this immersive 2 hour 20 minute session, you’ll blend premium florals, woods, spices, and resins — inspired by French maison traditions and Lot 23’s memory‑led craft.
Every workshop is guided by in-house perfumers and trained apprentices, who lead you through scent exploration: from top, middle and base notes; through blending, naming, and bottling — all in a warm, design-forward studio.
Personalization & creative freedom
Lot 23 workshops don’t feel like cookie‑cutter franchises. Each experience is tailored. You’re encouraged to craft a fragrance that resonates with you — your memories, moods, and identity. From selecting raw materials to naming your blend, the journey is yours.
Depending on the session, you might leave with a small, travel‑friendly vial or a full-sized bottle. Some options even let you create two unique blends in one session — for different aspects of yourself: daily wear and elevated scent, perhaps.
Atmosphere, ambiance, and intention
The ambiance at Lot 23 adds to the experience. Their studio and atelier are carefully designed to feel like a sensory retreat. Guests are invited to bring beverages (BYOB — bring your own beverage), relax, sip while they create, and treat the workshop as a ritual rather than a transaction.
They also believe in the power of music: their “Listening Lounge” offers curated playlists to set the tone — whether for a slow morning, a candlelit evening, or a creative burst.
More Than a Workshop: A Lifestyle of Scent
Attending a Lot 23 workshop isn’t simply about making a perfume or candle. It’s about stepping into a ritual — a way of living that appreciates slow creation, personal memory, and tangible artistry.
Sustainability & conscious refills
Lot 23 encourages mindful consumption. Through their “Refill x Reorder Program,” once you’ve crafted your custom blend, the formula is archived in their “Memory Vault.” That means you can reorder whenever you like — in the same vessel — promoting sustainability and reducing waste.
Refill sizes are available — for example, 15 ml or 30 ml — so you can top up your fragrance without forcing yourself into a full-size purchase again. Preferred pricing on reorders and seasonal surprises are added perks for loyal customers.
Customization beyond fragrance
Lot 23 also offers engraving and monogramming — a thoughtful detail that transforms your bottle or candle into a keepsake. Whether it’s a name, initials, or a special date, each engraved vessel becomes a personal artifact of memory and intention.
For those who love to gift or share scent experiences, Lot 23 sells gift cards — perfect for giving someone the invitation to create their own perfume or candle. It’s a gesture that carries meaning, sentiment, and the promise of a unique, personal fragrance.
Events, celebrations, and shared scent journeys
Lot 23 doesn’t confine perfumery to individual experiences. Their offerings extend to groups, celebrations, and events. Host a private blending session with friends, bring the atelier to your wedding, birthday party, or corporate event — their “Perfume Bar” can travel, offering on‑site fragrance creation to your guests.
Whether it’s a cozy gathering, a lively birthday soirée, or a refined corporate activation — Lot 23 turns scent into social connection, shared memory, and collective artistry.
Who Should Attend — And Why
Maybe you’re a perfume lover who’s curious about the magic behind the blends you see in stores. Maybe you appreciate handcrafted, artisanal goods and want to own something uniquely yours. Maybe you crave creative expression, or a sensory ritual that reconnects you with memory, emotion, or a moment.
If you’re drawn to:
- Personalized fragrance over mass-produced perfume,
- The tactile joy of mixing, naming, bottling — instead of just spritzing,
- Meaningful gifts or shared experiences,
- Slow-living, sustainability, and intentional ritual,
Then Lot 23’s workshop is more than an activity — it’s an embrace of scent as storytelling, self-expression, and sensory memory.
Specifically, the “No. 23 Eau de Maison” 50 mL class is ideal for those who want a full-size signature fragrance. The express 0.15 ml workshop suits those curious about perfume creation or who want a taste of the process. The 30 ml or double-bottle sessions give flexibility — perhaps one for daily wear, one for special moments. Candle‑making workshops add another dimension for those drawn to scent beyond the skin: home ambience and sensory space.
And if you value sustainability, customization, and longevity — the refill program, monogramming option, and the broader philosophy of “slow scent” make Lot 23 more than a boutique: a lifestyle.
What to Expect in a Session
Here’s a typical journey when you book a workshop at Lot 23:
- Arrival & Intention Setting — step into the studio or atelier. The space is calm, curated, and inviting. Guests are encouraged to bring beverages (BYOB), light bites, and approach the workshop like a sensory ritual.
- Scent Exploration — guided by expert perfumers, you explore a curated scent library: top notes, middle notes, base notes. You smell, sample, and begin to sense which accords resonate with you.
- Blending Your Signature — using funnels, vials, labels, spray tops, and everything provided, you blend your own perfume. You decide proportions, note combinations, perhaps give it a name.
- Bottling & Personalizing — once mixed, your fragrance is bottled and labeled. If desired, you can have the vessel engraved or monogrammed for a personal touch — transforming it into a keepsake rather than just a perfume bottle.
- Takeaway & Future Refills — depending on your workshop, you might leave with a 0.15 ml tester, a 30 ml perfume, or a 50 ml full-size fragrance. Later, when your scent runs low, you can use Lot 23’s Refill x Reorder Program to refill the same vessel — convenient, eco-conscious, and keeps the memory alive.
More Than Fragrance — A Memory, A Keepsake, A Story
What sets Lot 23 apart from typical perfume shops is not just the product — but the philosophy. Here, every scent is a vessel for memory; every bottle a token of identity, emotion, and time. The founder’s journey — from childhood candle rituals in Guyana to luxury fashion in NYC, to founding a slow‑scent atelier in Atlanta — brings a unique depth and soul to the brand.
The brand’s mission frames perfumery as cultural archive, personal expression, and communal ritual. Through immersive workshops, curated events, and custom‑label collaborations, Lot 23 aims not only to make fragrances — but to shape experiences, stories, and sensory memories that last.
