Earthy aromas, fruity notes and fresh scents fill the room as Garden State founder Maya Sriqui expertly and charmingly guides us through the world of fragrances in her “Scented Sensation Candle Workshop“. In her new store and studio at Graefestraße, you can learn how to pour your own candles on Thursday evenings and Sunday afternoons. Dive into a world of botanical fragrances from France — sandalwood, fig, lavender, and more. There is also a lot of love behind her concept. Behind each aromatic marvel is a carefully perfected recipe and a touch of philanthropy—plant-based, vegan, and a portion of proceeds supports global animal welfare. In her cozy store in Graefekiez, you will find her own creations as well as a lovingly curated range of products from local artists and manufacturers. From vegan beauty products to baby accessories, jewelry, a dried flower bar and ceramics, there is a whole range of beautiful pieces to discover here. If you’re looking for a special gift, you’re sure to find it here. Garden State is the perfect destination for unique gifts, and we’ve already decided on our Christmas present: a ‘Scented Sensation Candle Workshop’ with Maya and her team.
