  • This class was so fun! I loved the way my perfume turned out
  • Had a great time and learned so much. Instructor was excellent.
  • I had so much fun making candles! It was super interesting to see and learn about the different oils that can be added to create unique fragrances. Marla was patient, kind, and the sweetest person. I’d definitely recommend this workshop to anyone looking for a fun and relaxing activity. Oh, and I can’t forget the added bonus of the lovely wine that was served! ??️
  • Marla was great! It was just us 4 for the session and the class was great! We even received a small gift at the end courtesy of Marla. I highly recommend to go with a group.
  • Fun class. The instructor was very thoughtful and nice : )
  • Great time and price
  • Advanced Scent + Candle Making Masterclass

    Such a great class. The instructor was passionate, friendly and super helpful. You can learn a lot and walk away with two great gifts or to keep :)
  • Lovely class! Great guidance and output
  • The workshop was great! Cynn the instructor was very helpful!
  • Learned so much about creating the perfect scent! Would def recommend for a girls day or couples!
  • Marla is a gem!! Her hospitality was amazing and she had the best play list. Although it was a mix of couples and best friends, there was a simple ease and flow throughout the class with Marla leading the way. Definitely recommend!!! She also has other classes that sound fun to try.
  • Wonderful class! Wish we had more time to make the soap at the end though. Looking forward to making another batch soon!
  • Really awesome class! Not a ton of guidance because perfume is so subjective but it was a really neat experience getting to lean into what scents paired well. Will definitely be back to make our spring/summer scent!
  • What a perfect class!! Daisy was such a knowledgeable teacher - we got to smell perfumes from throughout history. The discussion was top-notch! I’ll definitely be back
  • Custom Scent & Candle Making Experience

    Loved it, this was my second class with Artisane. It was fun to make our own scents and candles, always best quality material that makes a huge difference on the final result!
  • Absolutely amazing! Learnt so many new things . Marla is a superb teacher with just so much knowledge. So many questions were answered.
  • It was just me and my bf for the class. Marla was very nice and took her time explaining things to us. She even took out some liquid colors from the back because I really wanted an orange color. She was good at helping with scent mixing and we left happy with everything we made! Thank you!
  • It was so informative and fun in unexpected ways. I'm someone who really enjoys the who/what/why/where/how behind things. I deeply enjoy wearing perfume and using it as a method of self expression. The class both deepens your knowledge and also expands it; I've found myself trying new scents and looking at perfumes with a more critical eye on sourcing and price. The conversation in the class was fantastic, both due to the classmates and the instructor. You don't make perfume in this class, but if you don't take this class, making perfume if you don't understand the process would be pointless. I particularly enjoyed the section around learning how to build a scent - the base, the middle, the foreground. If you enjoy perfume and would like to expand your scent palette, take this class.
  • ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ I recently attended the "Material Modules: Citrus & Aldehydes" class with Fragrance Alliance Network on July 27, 2024, and it was an incredible experience. The instructor, Gus Romero, was knowledgeable and engaging, making complex topics easy to understand. I also want to extend my gratitude to Michael C. Long, Ph.D., for his invaluable help and insights throughout the training. I learned so much, and the price of the course was unbeatable considering the wealth of knowledge provided. We definitely got more than what we paid for. I highly recommend this class to anyone interested in learning more about perfumery and raw materials.I am definitely using what I’ve learned to provide better fragrance reviews and I know is just getting better and better for me,maybe I deep dive into perfume creation ?

  • Marla and Kay are the best
  • Natural Scented Candle Making (Bryant Park)

    I enjoyed the class. The instructor was very knowledgeable and pleasant. I will not look at candles the same way and plan to make my own. I would definitely recommend this class. It was fun and I got to take home a great smelling and looking candle. It was fun!
  • The classroom was very clean, all the oils were properly labeled. Her illustration on oil extraction origin and scent strength were very precise. I don't even remember her name, which she did told us but through my eyes, her charisma wasn't about herself. Her sole performance was to educate us in the art of scent blending. As you can see, I did enjoy that appreciated time in that classroom. She was very professional from start to finish.
  • I really enjoyed the class. The instructor, Marla, was very knowledgeable and great at explaining the process of soapmaking. She covered the safety concerns and do's & don't of working with lye. I feel comfortable enough to be able to do this on my own at home. She was kind and helpful, going above and beyond my expectations.
  • It was fun. I learned how to make naturally made soap in easy way.
  • We loved our class! It was just the two of us and Marla made it a very special day.
  • The woman running the class was so sweet, helpful and knowledgeable. The experience was so cool and relaxing. Highly recommend to anyone considering making their own perfume.
  • This was one a very unique experience. A group of friends and I organized this to celebrate a birthday. It was super fun creating our own fragrance by exploring different scent combinations. I would definitely do this again!
  • The class was great and informative. Marla provided information on soap making and addressed all our questions. The first half of the class was going over the process, how to calculate , and ingredients. The second half was the hands on with making the soap that we took home. Would recommend this class for those wanting to learn.
  • Great class! I highly recommend!
  • Custom Scent & Candle Making Experience

    The class turns out to be great, but the listing address needs to be updated.
  • I actually took this candle making class yesterday evening. It was cancelled for the 20th last week. I really enjoyed the class. The teacher was remarkable. She took her time to explain the candle making process step by step. The studio looked amazing. I loved the black tiled floor with streaks of different colors. Both of my candles came out beautifully. The color & scents I choose for making my candles came out very well. I would recommend this class to anyone wanting to make candles.
  • Fun and very informative; safety emphasized!
  • I attended the class with my 11 year old granddaughter. We both enjoyed it very much. It was both fun and interesting. The teacher was knowledgeable, personable and very patient with our questions.
  • I had a blast learning how to make soap. Marla and Kay provided us with everything to make a legitimate batch of quality soap, along with instructions to easily duplicate the process at home. Highly recommended.
  • Great class. Learned a lot
  • this was a very thorough class. while you make two different kinds of candles that you can take home and burn, the primary purpose of the class is to review the steps needed to get into candle making as a business. as such, the teacher shares her personal experience, providing tips on where to source for materials and how to price. as a big plus, she’s friendly and approachable, so this is not like a dry lecture, or powerpoint presentation. she also left us with a printed booklet which included a lot of what she went over incase theres something you forget. 5 stars (and im not even a candle person)
  • Great experience Highly recommend
  • I enjoyed every minutes of the class.
  • Class was great, really liked it.
  • It was amazing! Me and my sister loved it! From the instructor to the place and other people, essences, and the outcome, everything was great! Thank you!
  • We loved it! It was great
  • Loved this , Marla was awesome , Great with explanations and instructions ,
  • Great class. I liked we used natural ingredients. I really enjoyed learning how to make the soap.
  • Lots of fun! Great enthusiastic & friendly crowd & excellent instructor
  • This class was amazing. I took it to upgrade my skin care line and a girl is making and selling body wash. So thank you so much can’t wait for the shampoo and conditioner class. Teacher was super sweet as well.
  • It was small & super cute! Nancy was very helpful & thorough in explaining everything to is. Had a great time!
  • it was such an amazing experience. The instructor is awesome friendly and super knowledgeable, and we made 2 candles per person that we really love! Highly recommend to anyone wants to learn how to make their own candle!
  • The class was fun and very informative.
  • It was a small class which afforded plenty of 1:1 attention. The instructor gave good instructions with lots of supporting information on the process of soap making. The setting was very comfortable.
  • The class was excellent.the teacher take time and go through the process of getting us as students to learn the basics of making soaps.it was worth it thumbs up.
