If you've been on the hunt for the perfect candle, stop sniffing around and join our candle making class in Brooklyn! In this speakeasy style workshop, you will immerse yourself in the art of creating a non-toxic soy wax candle with your own personalized fragrance combination.
The founders, who have been best friends since middle school, will teach you candle making 101 in this class. They will guide you from start to finish, using high-quality materials and fragrances to craft your own unique candle.
If you're a beginner, fear not! Our hands-on approach will include fully explained demos, one-on-one instruction, and an open floor Q&A on candle making! All while sitting in the middle of our real-life candle production facility that handles all creations for our wholesale, e-commerce, makers markets, and the Nose Best gift shop.
Hour 1 - Candle Making
1. Choose your vessel & fragrance(s)
2. Prepare your station (wicking, labels, etc.)
3. Candle trivia
4. Mix & pour your candle
5. Enjoy a complimentary beverage while choosing a candle name
Hour 2 - Cooling Process
Your candle will take an 1hr/1hr 15min to cool. But there’s plenty to do while you wait!
1. Shop in our store with your complimentary $5 gift certificate
2. Explore the neighborhood (vintage clothing, restaurants, coffee shops, and more!)
By the end of the class, you'll have your own handcrafted candle to take home, each one a testament to your newfound skills and artistry. Whether you're looking for creative bachelorette party activities in NYC, or out-of-the-ordinary things to do with a group of friends: you'll enjoy a fun, educational, and sensational day out! So step behind the curtain of an independent cheeky candle business and craft your new favorite candle.
Late Policy: We want to make sure you, and your party, take full advantage of the Nose Best experience. So we recommend arriving 10-15 minutes before your scheduled booking as we understand that trains, traffic and parking can be difficult in NYC. We cannot accept guests into the class who are more than 20 minutes late; this is to ensure that they get the full candle-making experience.

Nose Best is a candle shop in Bushwick, Brooklyn owned by two best friends! Brittany and Cristian started making candles in their Harlem apartment during the pandemic and turned the e-commerce brand into a full fledge store-front in 2021. The duo outgrew the store front for production in 2023 and leased a second space for their candle making endeavors. They have secured iconic partnerships and wholesale accounts with the likes of the Museum of Sex, Urban Outfitters, and the Broadway musical- Chicago. From their cheeky candle names to the multi-sensory experience of curated Spotify Playlists and cocktail recipes featured on each candle they have created a world your senses can be genuinely encapsulated by. Grab some friends and join Nose Best at their storefront to discover amazing scents and design your own "Party in a Jar"
