Such a fun time! Our facilitator was hilarious and provided clear instructions. I wish we were taught a bit more about the candle process after it is mixed. Otherwise, a fun class, dope space. I’m grateful for the 5$ gift card too! I got a smudge stick with mine

First, bios apothecary was super accommodating because I had some issues with scheduling. Second, at the actual class Jimmy, our teacher was amazing. He was very experienced and you could tell that he really knew and understood his stuff. We got to smell a bunch of different fragrances and then narrow down which ones paired well with with another and while my mom ended up nailing her combination, Jimmy really helped me make my perfume smell great. I went with a peach-magnolia-marshmallow-ambergris combo while my mom did grapefruit-cucumber (which smells amazing btw)-lilly-ambergris combo and they both came out amazing. We also got to decorate the bottles which was super cute (see attached pics). All in all we would totally do this again either for fun or maybe for a birthday activity or a work outing. If you are looking for a birthday or mothers day gift for your mom or grandma or literally anyone else I definitely would recommend this experience. It was a blast! Thank you!!!!! + more

This class was incredible! I bought the class as a surprise gift for my partner and we each made one knife each. Our instructor Arlene was so helpful, funny, inspiring, and had a great taste in music. The effort was somehow both easier and harder than expected (my arms are spaghetti), but the teacher was available to help if you were struggling.

You get to choose your own vessel and scents and a large candle for $75 which is a steal.

Edwin Froehlich
I got this for a gift for my girlfriend for valentines day. I printed out ClassBento and let her pick the class of her choosing. She landed on Red Inside Pasta Class and she could not have chose a better class. 100/100. I cannot wait to take another one of their classes! The two chefs were incredible and full of knowledge. Awesome experience, highly recommended.
Phallan Grossman
I got this class as a gift for my best friend as her 25th birthday present. We both absolutely loved this experience. One thing I loved was we learned the overall process of making perfume. If we didn't know what we liked, he guided us through it. I highly recommend, to go with friends, family or a significant other!
Orri Cohen
Very fun and easy to learn. Great birthday gift for my wife and I to do together.
Pj Linen
We had a great time in our class, it was a perfect birthday present for my boyfriend. He felt like he was on the show Forged in Fire and had a great time. It was a great beginner class, we could do things ourselves but always had our teacher right there to answer any questions or guide us in the right direction. We’ve already talked about doing a next level class!

She started out with a few slides with information on perfume structure and scent categorization then quickly pivoted to passing around and smelling scent samples from their collection.

Andbest gift EVER! Workshop: Michelle lead our workshop with much info, ease and aplomb! She started out with a few slides with information on perfume structure and scent categorization then quickly pivoted to passing around and smelling scent samples from their collection. We smelled a dizzying number of scents (I had to re-up on the mimosa 1/2 way through) as Michelle explained how each was derived/extracted; its characteristics and behavior in relation to other scents; and common pairings/combinations. If we liked the scent we dipped our tester strip into the sample and kept it at our workstation. The next step was to use our sample strips to come up with a combination we liked and create our own perfume. I appreciated her encouragement for creativity and intuition on our part during this process as much as she was willing to make suggestions when asked to do so by one of my fellow workshop mates. My group was small (7 total), diverse, friendly and engaged; overall, a very relaxed, friendly atmosphere that Saturday morning. Our workshop leader, Michelle, provided tons of information but avoided lecturing, listened intently to and provided answers to questions throughout the workshop. I had a great time immersed in smelling and designing. It reminded me of wine tasting where you set aside time to compare and explore with one of your senses--but here you walk away with your own creation! If you're at all curious or interested in scents, perfumes, colognes, I highly recommend this workshop. + more
