About this Experience

What you'll do:

You'll spend two hours in Nose Best's Bushwick production facility, pouring a custom soy candle from scratch inside a real working candle studio with a speakeasy lounge feel.

  • Vessel selection: You pick your container from a curated lineup at the start of class, so your candle reflects your style before you even begin blending.

  • Fragrance library: You explore a full collection of scents and build your own signature combination, guided by the Nose Best team from first sniff to final choice.

  • Station prep: You set up your wick, prep your label, and learn the production basics that the Nose Best team uses for their wholesale and e-commerce orders.

  • Mix and pour: You blend your fragrance into non-toxic soy wax and hand-pour your candle at the same station where every retail Nose Best candle is made.

  • Cooling hour: While your candle sets, you name it, grab your complimentary drink, and play a card or board game with your group at your leisure.

Every guest leaves with a finished, labeled candle they made themselves, plus 10 percent off at the Nose Best retail shop.

Why you'd love it for your group:

  • Real studio setting: The class takes place inside Nose Best's active production facility, not a rented event room, so you're working where the actual brand is made.

  • Speakeasy atmosphere: Low lighting, calm music, and lounge-style seating give the space a vibe that feels more like a night out than a standard craft class.

  • Beginner-friendly instruction: The founders walk every guest through a full demo, offer one-on-one help at each station, and keep the floor open for questions throughout.

  • Complimentary drink included: Each guest receives a beverage during the cooling hour, so the second half of the event has a social, relaxed pace built right in.

  • Retail shop on site: The Nose Best gift shop is steps away, and guests leave with a discount in hand if they want to explore the full candle collection after class.
