The Black Luxe Candle Co. candle making class is an absolute must for anyone who loves creativity, good energy, and a little bit of luxury. From the moment you walk in, the vibe is warm, welcoming, and super chic — the perfect backdrop for learning the art of candle making. The instructor broke everything down in a way that was easy to understand, even for beginners. They guided us through scent blending and tips for creating candles that actually last and smell amazing when you burn them. Plus, you get to customize your own scent, so you leave with a candle that feels personal and totally you. The experience was super down-to-earth — like hanging out with friends while picking up a new skill. Whether you’re doing it solo, with a partner, or as a group activity, this class is honestly the perfect way to spend a few hours. I walked away with a beautiful candle and a new favorite hobby! Already planning to come back for another session. Highly recommend!
