About this Experience
What you'll do:
You'll spend two hours pouring a custom soy candle from scratch inside Nose Best's active Bushwick production facility, the same space where every retail candle in their shop is made.
Vessel selection – Pick your container from a curated lineup before you blend a single scent, so the candle reflects your style from the first decision.
Fragrance blending – Explore a full scent library and build your own signature combination, with the Nose Best founders guiding you from your first sniff to your final mix.
Station setup – Set your wick, prep your custom label, and learn the same production steps the team uses for their wholesale and e-commerce orders.
Hand pour – Blend your fragrance into non-toxic soy wax and pour your candle at the exact station where every Nose Best retail candle is made.
Cooling hour – While your candle sets, name it, claim your complimentary drink, and unwind with card or board games at your leisure.
You leave with a fully finished, labeled candle you made yourself and 10% off at the on-site Nose Best retail shop, a complete experience from first pour to final product.
Why we love it for your group:
Real production facility – This candle-making class in Brooklyn takes place inside an active studio, not a rented event room, so the craft is genuinely grounded in how the brand works.
Speakeasy atmosphere – Low lighting, calm music, and lounge-style seating make the space feel more like a night out than a standard craft class.
Drinks included – Every guest receives a complimentary beverage during the cooling hour, which naturally shifts the second half of the class into something social and relaxed.
Founder-led instruction – The two founders who built Nose Best teach every session themselves, keeping class sizes personal and the instruction direct.
Retail shop on site – The Nose Best gift shop is steps from your station, and your 10% discount is ready to use the moment class wraps.
