Earl Of East: Candle Making

Earl of East Candle Making Workshops is the date idea for when you want to do something cute, tactile, and mildly unhinged, like flirting while you both pretend you have “notes of bergamot” in your bloodstream.  

​

They run workshops at their spots in Williamsburg, Brooklyn and in Manhattan’s West Village, so you can pick your neighborhood vibe, crunchy-cool Brooklyn energy or downtown date-night energy.  

​

You show up, sniff your way through a wall of fragrance like you’re auditioning for a perfume ad, then pour your own candle and leave with something you made together, or something that will haunt your apartment forever, depending on how competitive you get.

​
