This September, Jardin Des Arts invites guests to swap an ordinary Sunday for something truly special. In partnership with homegrown artisanal candle brand Nahma’tisan, the restaurant will host an intimate candle-making workshop on 26 September, led by founder Napha Hehir. Blending craft, creativity and culinary detail, the experience is designed as an elegant evening to spark connection and inspire the senses.
Held in Jardin Des Arts’ garden-inspired interiors, the workshop combines hands-on candle-making with a tailored food and beverage offering. Guests will select from six fragrance notes, each one guiding the candle they craft and matched to a complementary cocktail or mocktail. A curated food platter completes the journey, ensuring the flavours on the table echo the fragrance in the air.
With only 12 seats available, the evening is designed to feel personal and relaxed – the perfect weekend activity for friends, creative souls or anyone looking to try something new in a beautiful setting. At AED 150 per person, the package includes a handcrafted candle to take home, one drink, and a sharing platter of bites.
"I’m thrilled to bring Nahma’tisan to Jardin Des Arts," says Napha Hehir, Founder of Nahma’tisan. "Fragrance has the power to evoke emotion and memory, and by pairing it with flavour, we’re creating an experience that engages the senses in a truly unique way"
The Nahma’tisan x Jardin Des Arts Candle-Making Workshop will take place on Sunday 26 September 2025, with future editions planned monthly as the city heads into al fresco season.
