Cinematic Tasting Experience with 9 Turkish Flavors

It was so so fun! Loved the communication beforehand and Bahar came to pick us up and guide us to the workshop from a meeting point which was very easy to find (and paid for our travel!). We were greeted very warmly by everyone once we arrived and served snacks and drinks. Zanib who ran our workshop was a delight. So knowledgeable and fun to interact with. Getting to smell so many scents and really being able to choose something unique to you was amazing and if in any doubt Zanib was there to offer her excellent guidance. I would recommend this to anyone even remotely interested in making perfume or even just looking to fill a couple of hours.

I did this activity with my family and we loved it. They teach you and help you create the best possible combination, but what I want to emphasize the most is the great service they gave us. Both instructors were lovely. Without them, the experience would have been more boring. They pleasantly surprised us. We definitely recommend it!!

Absolutely loved it! This was probably one of the best workshops I’ve ever attended. Since we were staying on the European side of Istanbul and the workshop is on the Asian side, Ebiha gave us very clear instructions and even met us at the meeting point. It took us around 20 minutes to get there. We were welcomed by a young man named Mustafa, who was incredibly kind, calm, and patient. He speaks excellent English and took the time to explain everything thoroughly, answering all of our questions. He taught us the basics of perfume making and shared many little tips and tricks to help us create the perfect fragrance. We created our own 50 ml EDP which is the perfect souvenir from Istanbul. The workshop takes place in a lovely little open-air café, comfortably shaded, which created the most pleasant and relaxing atmosphere possible. I highly recommend this experience to anyone visiting Istanbul!

I loved this activity so much! 👍👍👍 Turkey is already a major transportation hub, and spices are also a part of the culture. It's really satisfying to be able to personally create a perfume and then take it away with you. There are many options. In the past, I couldn't tell what scent was what when I smelled perfumes, but now I finally understand. And the young man was very professional, his explanation was very clear and detailed, and his English was also very good. He could make people understand the formula for blending perfumes right away. The most amazing thing is that he knew how to blend it just by smelling it and suggested the right proportions. In the end, the product was amazing. It was really fun. (And it gave me a chance to go to the Asian part of Istanbul. You should definitely try it.)

Nihal and Selin were so fantastic they were friendly chatty and knowledgeable. We had a good laugh with them while we made the lamps and they helped us to realise our ideas we had seen online. We ended up free handing our designs thanks to their help This workshop was so fun to do but the ladies running it made it special You can upgrade your lamp to the hanging design for an extra fee which I chose to do but my partner kept hers as the standard one so we have a nice mix

Place was lovely. The guys there make you feel appreciated and like at home. Definitely I highly recommend the experience. About the workshop, it teaches you a lot about perfume basic essences, composition, and also principles for formulation. Once there, you discover a lot of interesting people from different nationalities and cultures. Don’t waste the opportunity of having an unforgettable experience.
