The perfect activity for spending a slow morning after a busy few days of exploring. Instructor Eda is the sweetest and was always ready to help. The tea, coffee and snacks are also such a nice touch. Very cozy and homey atmosphere.

Chaïma est vraiment une personne exceptionnelle ! Gentille, bienveillante, elle fait tout pour que l’on passe le meilleur moment possible. Elle nous donne des idées aussi pour notre dessin et peinture. Une expérience au top, un beau souvenir placé dans un cadre à la fin et bien emballé. Je recommande et reviendrai très certainement insh’Allah

Alles top! Nochmal sehr gern

De las mejores experiencias que me llevo de Estambul. Mustafa fue un guía y profesor excepcional que se preocupa por tener claridad antes de la actividad y cómo llegar. Un taller ameno, informativo, con historia interesante acerca del café turco y te enseñan el singular método paso a paso. Fue una experiencia que recomiendo 100%! el kit para llevar el una maravilla!

FYI - after we booked this activity we were contacted via WhatsApp and informed the workshop and activity is actually located on the “Asian” side of Istanbul. We were given two options and the first allowed us to meet a guide who assisted us by taking us on the metro to the workshop. Unfortunately after the activity ended we had to pay for the transport home/figure out how to get back to the European side which was really inconvenient at 6pm (rush hour). Overall, we really enjoyed the activity. Our guide was super lovely and helpful. We had unlimited tea and water and heaps of guidance. The entire thing was packed up beautifully and we couldn’t be happier with our souvenirs. We would definitely book this again and even try the other activities like mosaic lantern / perfume workshop. Just be aware that this activity is on the Asian side of İstanbul, NOT the European side (as it is advertised). I hope the activity provider updates the description so that people are more prepared.

Everything was great! We started bit delayed as the table was not free yet. Would be great to avoid that extra waiting time. But outside that, it was a wonderful experience and would recommend and do any time again .

I don’t know from where to start. If you are reading this, then I’m writing this with full honesty. Let’s start with the location of the place, it was a long road that lead us to small beautiful town. We found the coffee shop and it looked small from the outside, but as soon as you enter, you will see how spacious and gorgeous the place is. Mr. Ali was our guide, and he was super nice as well as the other staff. He spoke English well and stayed with us through the entire process of making our perfume. They offer limitless hot drinks and water! As well as their delicious cookies! My fiancé and I were extremely happy with the experience and we would definitely try one of their other 5 activities! Really, don’t miss this opportunity with such a place and kind hosts! Thank you all, and for sure thank you Ali :)

Tolle Aktivität,um sich vom Trubel in der Stadt zu erholen. Wir hatten eine tolle Betreuung, die uns angeleitet und uns Tipps gegeben hat. Würde ich immer wieder buchen.

Es war schön mal was anderes auszuprobieren und es hat viel Spaß gemacht. So haben wir ein schönes Souvenir gemacht. Sehr nette und hilfsbereite Workshop Leiterin. Vielen Dank.

Mekandaki ilgi alaka ve malzemelerin kalitesi çok iyiydi. Tekrar tekrar yapabileceğim bir etkinlik oldu

Amazing experience. People at the workshop were friendly and the way they explained how to decorate the lamp was very simple. loved it and will come again

The workshop was pretty interesting and Ali is a very nice host. We received coffee and cookies during the activity. I would suggest some improvements for future workshops regarding the organization. The process involved smelling all the perfumes individually, which was a bit overwhelming. It would have been helpful if the perfumes were grouped into categories (e.g. fresh, sweet, fruity?) to make the experience more structured. Additionally, having some guidance on which combinations work well based on our preferences would have been very beneficial.

It was an amazing experience! 😍

This workshop was so much fun . Everyone in our group enjoy it . However the address that is shown is only the meet up point , the actual workshop is located in the Asian side so we have to travel there so it kind of threw us off on the schedule.

The activity was phenomenal! Our guide was fantastic and really made all tourists feel included. It is GREAT value for money. You receive a pack at the end with fantastic momentos including Turkish coffee sample, jug and coffee cup. Then after, if you wish to stay for a tea or coffee it is also included in the cost. Unbelievable! Loved every minute of it.

One of my favorite experiences yet! If you are a coffee lover & want an activity that is informative but also interactive, this is great!

Die Lokation war schön. Die Herstellung von parfüm verstanden.

It was very entertaining. The hosts were super nice and the place itself was really cool. 150% recommend this

Mr Ali was very knowledgeable and patient with all the participants, the workshop was very good 2 hours went by so quickly

Es waren wundervolle drei Stunden, in denen wir künstlerisch aktiv werden konnten. Wir haben uns dafür entschlossen, unser eigenes Motiv zu kreieren. Die Workshopleiterin ist eine ganz lieber und hilfsbereite Frau, die bei kleineren „Farbunfällen“ ruhig und professionell helfen kann. Zwischendurch gab es immer wieder Tee und Gebäck. Wir sind absolut begeistert! :-)

Eine tolle Kombination aus kultureller Wissensvermittlung und praktischer Anwendung! Fatih war super nett und witzig. Das erhaltene Kaffeeset ist auch wunderbar.

Beim Treffpunkt hat uns eine ganz Nette abgeholt (Esma) , (sie hatte uns auch einen Tag vorher angerufne und den Weg zum Atelier erklärt, )sie ist mit uns auf die andere Seite mit der Marmaray gefahren und hat uns paar sidefacts genannt. Im Café angekommen konnten wir uns erstmal kurz im Garten entspannen. Dann hat uns unsere Einweiserin (Beyza) abgeholt und uns alles ruhig erklärt und auch immer wieder geholfen, türkischer kaffe, Tee, Wasser und Kekse waren gratis dabei. Da die Gegend des Ateliers recht belebt war , waren wir essen und haben dann unsere getrockneten Lampen abgeholt. Alles in allem war’s echt schön und entspannend im ganzen Instanbuler Trubel

Great master-class with a good guide who helps at all steps. Beautiful and creative workshop. Great memory from Turkey, Thank you :)

A unique and fun workshop! Ali was great at explaining and helping throughout the entire process. Left with a beautiful perfume and a nice memorable experience. Unlimited tea, coffee and water included in the price. Well worth it if you’re in Istanbul and looking for something different to do!
