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!

My friend invited me to a candle making class at Apotheke. We had so much fun!

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.

I found out about this place because of the Apoteke x Tony's chocolate collab. For Valentines day…read moreweekend the class featured Tony's chocolate. The area itself is sort of far out and isolated in Red Hook so coming from queens it was a trip. N to the 7 to the G to a bus then walking. It was a journey but one I was happy to make for a fun experience. The place is actually spacious. It is lined with candles, oils, decor, etc. Its a cute spot. The class was at 4:00 but we started a little later waiting for late people. The class was packed once everyone finally arrived. Kaitlin began the class explaining all the scents and how they compliment each other. Then we were tasked with picking out a vessel and three of the scent profiles to add to our candle. The scents were all in one area and people did not move from the area, having no consideration of others who were waiting to pick their scents. It would have been better if that area was more spread out instead of up so accommodate more people. After finally picking my scents, then came the mixing part. I poured the amount needed to make my right scent which was 50% citrus, 25% fruity amd 25% aromatic. Once I got the desired scent, it was time to mix it into the hot wax and pour into the vessel. The candle took about 30-40 minutes to set so I went across the street for food/drink. When i came back, my candle was packed up and ready to go. I also got to take a Tony's chocolate home. Ive seen other Tony's collaborated events and people left with loads of chocolate so I was sad we only got one bar. I wanted to try all the flavors. It was a fun class overall. Id would like to come back with others one day but its definitely a driving situation rather than public transportation.
