• 5/5 from Daniela Maiorana, attended Apr 2026: The class was so much fun. Our teacher was knowledgable and very helpful. Both the teacher and the store owner were so approachable and friendly!!! The studio is in a private room, separate from the store-front so it was quiet and created a very personal atmosphere. We went early on a Sunday and had no trouble parking. FYI - the neighborhood stores did not open that early so there wasn’t much to do or see but still worth getting there early. I highly recommend this experience.

• 5/5 from Anthony Mejias, attended Nov 2025: The candle making and room diffuser workshops were a lot of fun. Christian, Brittany and Mo are very personable and knowledgeable about scents and candle/room diffuser construtction. Though the workshop has changed from my first experience ; less scents to chose from but provided was a chart of what compliments each other; it was still fun to do. Also provided was a menu of steps for the room diffuser. I was informed that every couple of months new/alternate scents would be available. The best thing about Nose Best, is the size of the candle is at least 2 ounces larger (10 oz) than other workshops. Also available is a nice selection of candle vessels to use. Also, while the candles are setting, the hosts have games and such for those who don't want to peruse the shops and eateries in the Knickerbocker Ave area. All in all, anyone looking for a pleasant two hours, head over to Nose Best in Brooklyn.
• 5/5 from Danielle Bryant, attended Nov 2025: The occasion was a Birthday gift and it was perfect! The class is so interesting you’ll feel like a real live candle scientist. The teacher was incredibly nice and clearly loved what he taught. I couldn’t think of a better company to support. A+++

• 5/5 from James Lassner, attended Oct 2025: ️️️️️ No need to look elsewhere—Nose Best is a hidden gem in NYC! Christian and his team make candle making exciting, creative, and fun. Four of us spent a rainy afternoon there and left with beautiful candles and even better memories. The class is hands-on, informative, and encourages you to get creative. If you’re looking for a unique and uplifting experience, it truly makes 'scents' to visit Nose Best and 'light up' your day! ️

• 5/5 from Nishu Gupta, attended Aug 2025: – A Perfect Blend of Fun, Learning & Vibes! I attended a candle-making class with ClassBento today and it was absolutely amazing! From the moment I arrived, the team made us feel so welcome. We started with a fascinating introduction to the history of candles, followed by a fun Q&A session that kept everyone engaged. Then came the best part – creating our own candles! We got to choose our scents, prepare our own blends, and really get hands-on with the process. The ambience was warm and inviting, with a chill vibe that made the whole experience so enjoyable. It’s the perfect activity for couples looking to spend quality time together while learning a new skill. I’m already planning to come back with my partner! Highly recommend ClassBento for anyone who loves creativity, good vibes, and a touch of magic.

• 4/5 from Anthony Mejias, attended Jun 2025: The Candle Making Class was enjoyable. It was conducted by Cristian; one of the co-founders/co-owners of the Nose Best business. The class began with an explanation of what we were going to be doing. We were presented with a selection of ten (10) ounce candle containers in various colors. Some containers transparent, the remaining non-transparent. Instructed on how to insert the wick. Also, a label was given to each person to place first and last name, in an exercise to make sure each received their candle (more later). Then notification of being able to select one or two of the available scents from those available. A recommendation by Cristian on how best to select two scents, if that was the desire. Recommendation: Take the two scent samples and in a ferris wheel type motion under your nose to see how the two scents may compliment or detract from one another. After scent selection, we were instructed thaT for optimum scent to use 30 ml of the two scents, using the dropper within the scent bottle. Of the 30 ml maximum, a 15 ml to 15 ml was the suggestion for an equal scent, 20 ml to 10 ml to highlight one particular scent of the two selected. While we were mixing the scents, Cristian conducted a short "What do you know about candles" fun session. Asked six multiple choice and true/false questions about scents and candle wax. We were then presented with ten (10) ounces of melted soy wax, instructed to pour scent mixture, timed while we stirred the wax. After mixing the wax and scent for three minutes, poured into the pre-selected ten ounce container. At this point, the candles were collected so Cristian can finish the process. Ensuring wicks were centered and allowing the candles to harden. It was at this point that the participants were on his/her own to wait for about 45 minutes for the candles to harden sufficiently to take home. Cristian did have some items there to occupy our time, or the students were instructed of shops and food establishments in the immediate area. An aside: there are a few thrift shops around the Nose Best. The participants were also presented with a $5.00 off card to use in the shop. (I used mine to buy two miniture disco balls :-D). A fun class and recommended by myself for anyone wishing to learn candle making with scents.

• 5/5 from Abdeali Saherwala, attended Mar 2025: Cristian is an amazing teacher! Luckily, it was just me and my partner, so we had the opportunity to really get to know him and his business. I will definitely recommend this to my friends. He is super sweet and incredibly knowledgeable about his work.
• 5/5 from Eternity Rountree, attended Mar 2025: My group arrived at Nose Best about twenty minutes before class was scheduled to start. We were pleasantly greeted by the woman working the storefront and she encouraged us to browse while we waited for our instructor to the back. The storefront is modest in size, but very well curated. In addition to a sprawling candle selection (with well thought out names/concepts!), there are incense made in house and other cute kitschy things. I took this time to smell all I could to get an idea of what combinations I’d want to create in the workshop. Our instructor, Cristian, greeted us warmly in the storefront, and brought us back to their workshop. The room was nice. It was neat with a good sized workspace for each of us, the lighting was soft and the curated playlist went well with the ambiance of the room. Cristian gave us a quick run down of the process and the tools at each of our placemat. We started by picking our vessels, then we were given the option up to two scents for our candles. Cristian was very patient with us during this process, and gave feedback on our choice when we asked. We then wicked our vessels and poured our candles. There’s a wait time between processes, and Cristian seamlessly filled that time with trivia and kept us engaged. Cristian gave us up to 8 characters to name our candle, and in the downtime he stamped our custom names onto our custom candles. While waiting for our candles to cool down we were offered board/card games and our group had a ball playing uno. We took this class to celebrate my mom’s 50th birthday, and earlier that week her boyfriend asked our family for our blessings to marry her. We knew he’d propose on her birthday, but during that cool down time we agreed it was the perfect time to ask. We surprised Cristin with the engagement as well (sorry!) but he handled everything very gracefully and remarked we were the first engagement in their candle making class and that his co-founder Brittany would be sad to miss it. The environment he created with his energy and presence did help create that “perfect timing” for the proposal. Once our candles cooled, Cristian packed up our new candles and thanked us for our time there. Everything about the class was thought out from the vessel selection to the pacing. Cristian did an excellent job with everything. We went back into the storefront with the $5 vouchers we were offered and picked up a few incense and crystals. I raved about this class experience to my friends all week and my candle smells lovely. I can’t wait to visit the storefront again. This was a 20 out of 5 experience, thank you Cristian!!!
