    guider讲的非常细致,开场讲了马赛克灯的历史,加深了我们制作灯的意义。教学过程中,展示灯亮起来的时候,五彩斑斓的光让我们震撼。3个小时的体验,不止完成制作,还发了毕业证书和帮忙打包。所有的店员都非常nice和kind,非常值得体验。

    Perfume Making Workshop review

    I highly recommend this when in Istanbul. Mustafa was very knowledgeable, patient and fun to work with. With a quick lesson on how to build notes and what to look out for, you the spent almost an hour trying out different oils to find the perfect one. Did this with a group of friends and it was amazing.

    Merită din plin să trăiți această experiență. Veți avea parte de o atmosferă magică alături de oameni faini și la final veți avea propriul parfum, unic. Echipa este extraordinară, au avut grijă de noi încă de la început, să fim în tot confortul. Ceaiul și cafeaua, alături de fursecuri ne-au fost puse la dispoziție pe toată durata workshop-ului. Iar Mustafa ne-a, cel care ne-a ajutat să ne facem parfumul, a fost minunat, atent și extrem de răbdător. Vă mulțumim, Monica și Florentina🤍

    Ein wunderbarer entspannender und interessanter Workshop, bei dem man nicht nur etwas lernt sondern auch ein tolles Andenken mit nach Hause nehmen kann. Nihal war freundlich, witzig und hat alles super verständlich erklärt ❤️ Die Lampen haben eine super Qualität, der Workshop-Raum ist gemütlich eingerichtet und der Transfer mit der Metro mit Kadir hat auch einwandfrei geklappt. Rafa hat es dann noch perfekt abgerundet 🐱
