instructors were very nice, a pleasant introduction, watched videos to understand, they were very patient and informative. Very nice and hands on. Alot of nice scents to choose from and different options like soap room sprays etc. Very nice experience.
I did a custom blend at brbf and absolutely loved it. I ordered more and the scent is perfect, it feels amazing going on and leaves my skin moisturized and glowing! Will be ordering again and again!
It’s summer time and time to get Lit. Lit essentials is a beautiful start to my morning and a signature of the authentic me. A fragrance created to my own desire and shea butter that lasts all day, it does not disappoint. Try it. You will never want anything else!
I had every bit of confidence that when I placed my online order for my 'Peace & Quiet' specialty body butter, that it would not only arrive safely, timely, and well-packaged, but that it would also have the exact fragrance I expected. I was not disappointed!!! LIT Essentials team; you all are the greatest. Keep doing what you're doing.
Oh em gee! I had THE best experience. The host was so kind, thorough, and knowledgeable. I learned so much about essential oils and fragrances. I had so much fun and will always recommend. I’ll be back for sure to make more DIY projects
Such a great experience on my first time I had to come back and do it again. If you are looking for a peaceful, friendly, and scent-sational vibe this is it. See you again soon!
ABSOLUTELY AWESOME !!!
This is my 4th visit to LIT Essentials and the self-guided DIY experience. Using the essential oils, I created my own body butter fragrance called "Peace and Quiet". It has become so popular with my family and is requested by my daughters & sisters. This time, during my DIY experience, I made enough body butter to share in gift bags for them.
LIT Essentials is truly the place to be!
If you haven't been there, you are missing a treat.
Take a day, take a moment, take an hour and let it be about you! This is an experience you will not regret.
We had a wonderful time. We worked on making winter scents while one of the reps at Lit made my Spring scent for me. I need to make a candle to match now!!
My experience at Lit Essentials was truly amazing! As someone who loves body butters and anything natural, I was beyond excited to stumble upon Lit Essentials while looking for a birthday activity during my Atlanta weekend trip. The studio is cozy and perfect for small groups, creating such an intimate vibe. My girlfriends and I were warmly welcomed, and right away we were hooked by the scent in the space (fresh, earthy, basically like walking into Whole Foods lol). A true aromatherapy sanctuary!
We chatted with Johntay to learn more about his story and what to expect from the class. When I found out he used to work at Lush Cosmetics, one of my absolute favorite body care brands, I instantly knew we were in for a Lit experience. And let me tell you, it is far from a basic body butter class. The name really says it all, Live with Intention and Thrive. We learned not only how to make the butter but also about the power of the ingredients for both mental and physical wellness.
This is not your cookie cutter class. Johntay and his cousin Jalil gave us such a thorough step by step breakdown. For my blend, I chose Sweet Orange, Vanilla, and Ginger and Spice, and whipped it all together into what I affectionately named "Virgo's Groove". It took me a few tries to get the ratio just right, but once I did I was obsessed.
The best part is that you can order more butter and have it shipped, which is perfect because I know I will finish this jar by the end of the month lol. The butter leaves your skin silky smooth for hours, with a scent that is subtle but long lasting. As a birthday treat, Johntay even surprised me with a set of wool dryer balls infused with my favorite scent, which was such a thoughtful touch.
I cannot wait to come back for another class the next time I am in Atlanta. Maybe I will even try a self guided session since I am a pro now lol. Wishing this business nothing but success!
I brought my girls to Lit Essentials for a bachelorette party & it was incredible! 1000/10 recommend. I initially found them on TikTok and knew it would be perfect for our bride-to-be. It totally exceeded our expectations.
Johntay and his sweet team (dad & cousin) were so informative, patient, and peaceful. We did the body butter class, and Johntay taught us more than we ever even knew one could know about aromas, body butters, and lotions. Truly felt like a masterclass in skincare. I would absolutely recommend coming here for a date, a group party, or even just alone.
Attending the Body Butter class at LIT Essentials was an absolute delight! The instructor’s passion for his craft was evident from start to finish. His knowledge and enthusiasm made the class engaging and enjoyable. The best part was the hands-on experience—mixing our own body butter while anticipating how amazing it would feel to use later.
Beyond the class, I couldn’t resist picking up a shower bomb and a turmeric face bar, both of which have been fantastic! The entire experience was well worth it, and I highly recommend it to anyone looking to learn, create, and indulge in high-quality, natural skincare. I’ll definitely be back!

My experience was as expected; serene, calming, inviting, pleasant, and awesome! I attended the Body Butter Building class by myself for the purpose of creating (or recreating) my favorite "Peace and Quiet" fragrance. All of the necessary ingredients were already set out, arranged, and waiting for me. I did not feel rushed as I worked my own personal magic, and the atmosphere along with the aroma simply swept me away. The lighting was soft, the music was enjoyable, and the owner took every opportunity to ensure that my expectations were being met. This place is supper awesome. I highly recommend the experience. This is my 3rd visit; (first 2 times were with my small group). But you don't have to wait for a group to visit. If you just want some alone time, and an opportunity to prepare your own smooth silky body butter, this is the place to be!
I had the best time! The owner was so thorough in his instructions. I could really tell he was knowledgeable and passionate about it. My body butter turned out great & feels so good on my skin. The class was a 10/10, I will be back! ❤️❤️❤️
This Black owned business is AMAZING! 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽 I was so impressed by the owner's knowledge and ability to help me create my own body sugar scrub. He was very helpful and polite. I recommend booking a class or self guided session.
It was a good time with good friends and the host was knowledgeable on the whole process so it made the experience even more interesting and meaningful
I attended this class with a group of girl friends. It was a fun experience for us all. I appreciated the details put into the vision of putting this class together. It was engaging, educational, thorough and therapeutic. I enjoyed wholeheartedly and will be back soon for other classes!
I have found my new place for candles! I find it relaxing to light a candle before bedtime and have my room envelope in a lovely scent. John ray really took the time to let me explore the store, helped me with options to find my perfect scent. I will definitely be back. Honestly ai have paid more for a Target candle that lasted less time and was just ok, and now I don’t have to settle anymore.
The cold process class was really fun and enjoyable! Perfect date activity with beautiful and delicious smelling products. Plus it was great to support a local, family-owned business. So glad we came!! Highly recommend!!
John Jr was AMAZING!!!!! Very thorough and was very engaging! Highly recommend! 10/10! Only suggestion I have is to consistently carry a coconut fragrance ☺️
We celebrated my birthday by making personalized body butter. The guidance on the oils and fragrances was superb, we got to explore next scents and create our very own. The experience was wonderful.
This was such an amazing experience that was fun for all! I was visiting my sister from Florida and she set up this creative and artistic class for us. What a great way to spend time with each other and make memories. Johntay was beyond patient, pleasant and helpful. He gets an A+++!
