Perfect for locals and visitors alike, this class is a fun, memorable experience and a fantastic group outing! You need to wait an hour for your candle to set after class. So, my friend and I walked to Steve's Key Lime Pie, which was great. We got diet Coke's at the brewery next door, and then checked out Compound Art & Sound Gallery which is in the same lot as Steve's. After we picked up our candles, we checked out Pioneer Works and then took the ferry back to FiDi. Great experience! We want to come back for the perfume making class at Apotheke.

This used to be a such a great place to get soaps and nice smelling bathroom products, but the last…read moretime I went I was told that they've changed their business model and now they're only doing... candles. Which makes sense because everyone needs soap and no one really needs candles... but you do. If, for whatever reason, you do need candles, go here. But if you need literally anything else, don't... because they can't help you.

They threaten you if you complain ! Magdalena the owner will threaten police for any problem…read moreapparently. Buyer BEWARE These people lie to your face and in their responses and the service in this place is just plain terrible then if you complain they want to involve police just like any other discriminatory party. Then they edit their comments to erase their mention of cops it's just ridiculous Their shirts are overpriced for their cheap fabric and the selection is no better than anywhere else Be careful if you're a POC (other than Asian) or LGBT cause they really don't seem comfortable and will watch you like a hawk. The workers don't even know how to tell if a bill is real or not they accuse you of it being fake tho just to decline you If you need souvenirs from Brooklyn go elsewhere Support the botanical garden or museum but this place is not the place to go if you're looking for good service, a good selection, or value for your hard earned dollars. You can walk them through the checks on it and they still don't believe you they are clearly off I haven't used any defamatory language or disrespect. I walked her through the checks, showed her the real bill and then she agreed it was indeed fake. Before I had decided her disrespect was not tolerable. The shop was acting in a way that is disrespectful and the staff needs training on what a bill looks like. Further who would counterfeit a 10$ bill ? No one that's who. This place is just trying to cover its tracks after being caught being rude. Now they're threatening to involve police for a real bill these people have nothing better to do than to discriminate indiscriminately. I've posted the exact bill. As I said before, I showed them each parameter of the bill and now they're saying I'm false. They're lying. They're now threatening me. Yes I took the bill after I showed her it was fake and decided I didn't want the magnet and pin for less than 10$. The video footage will show my taking it from her hand in my frustration, saying this was incredibly rude, and walking out. There was nothing sketchy on my end at all They saw my bill and decided it was fake. This business now threatens police action when they're the ones in the wrong. Magdalena should be ashamed of herself for this ridiculousness. Let's involve the police if you want ! They'll have the exact bill the review in the photos. These people are deranged and liars. Avoid them! Send the security footage ! It shows how I walked you through how the bill was real before you accepted it ! The only reason I walked out with my REAL bill is because you accused me of something you can't even verify !

This is an ultra luxe parfumerie that sells gorgeous perfumes, candles, bath and body products. Samples are also sold here. Lush bouquets of flowers make the interior such a pleasure to behold. Karl and Robert have created an ambrosial setting that one is disinclined to leave. Earlier this week, Amélie Huynh flew in from Paris and gave an in-depth introduction on D'Orsay perfumes. Created in 1830 and bought in 2015, Amélie has given this line a new life creating exceptional fragrances from renown perfumers like Dominique Ropion. Here are extraits de parfums and eau de parfums. Très chère. After sampling several, I have fallen in love with Rose Paradis. While CV I didn't splurge on this line, I did buy a body cream from Montale which I am passionate about.

You need to be buzzed in and then you have the full attention of the knowledgeable staff. The scents are visible throughout the store but are brought out and sprayed for you. We went through at least 30 perfumes and even though I had favorites from the get-go I never felt pressured or hurried, as my kind staffer kept coming back with more fragrances he thought I would enjoy (and a few more divisive ones just for fun). One of my purchases was a DIY discovery set they were able to make me our of samples and I was gifted several samples of other scents I enjoyed. Will definitely be back!
