    Perfume Making Workshop review

    Very fun group experience and a good opportunity to meet people. For an extra price (about 10 euro) you can create an extra bottle of perfume which makes an ideal gift. I've made perfumes at home before but I still learned new things here and got a chance to experiment with fragrances I'd never heard of! Complementary tea, biscuits and Turkish coffee are also provided

    Perfume Making Workshop review

    Der Parfüm- Workshop war eine tolle Erfahrung, die unseren Aufenthalt sehr bereichert hat. Das Team war herzlich, erfahren und sehr hilfsbereit bezüglich der „Anreise“. Ali hat uns ausführlich den Prozess der Parfümherstellung erklärt und uns beim Ausprobieren immer über die Schulter geschaut. Das Ergebnis ist ein Fläschchen mit einem eigenen, individuellen Duft, das einem mitgegeben wird. Es hat viel Spaß gemacht und wir empfehlen die Aktivität ☺️☺️

    Perfume Making Workshop review

    We lucked out by having a private group session with Ali where we were able to learn more about Turkish culture which was already a huge bonus on top of the basics of perfumery. We had much time to explore the 70+ scents and to formulate our unique scent. I highly recommend this workshop to anybody who is interested in fragrances! You get to bring home your own bottle too. Wishing you and your family the very best Ali. Thank you again.

    Perfume Making Workshop review

    Such a unique and lovely experience! The workshop was one of my favorite experiences in Istanbul. The teacher was super friendly, knowledgeable, and he made everyone feel comfortable and helped the group connect so naturally. The workshop is held in a cozy, atmospheric café and they have over 70 perfume ingredients to play with, which made the whole process feel really personal and creative. I left with a scent that feels totally me :) Would love to go again next time I’m in Istanbul — highly recommend it if you’re into scents or just want to do something a little different!

    Perfume Making Workshop review

    Host was very knowledgeable and made us feel welcomed. However they should be strict with meeting times - we were on time but had to wait almost 20 mins for late comers under the hot sun! Wasn’t fair for participants who were punctual. Nice environment on the Asian side of Istanbul BUT the activity should have been done in a place AWAY from smokers as the constant cigarette smoke from the next tables really interfered with our experience / the cigarette smoke kept filling our nostrils and interrupted our scent testing!

    Amazing atmosphere with a great guide. The group was nice and intimate which made the experience more fun. Afterward some of us went to dinner which was a bonus. Great way to meet people locally and internationally while putting together these unique scents!

    Perfume Making Workshop review

    Nous avons adoré créer notre parfum dans ce magnifique café. L’activité est à la fois ludique, amusante et offre un excellent rapport qualité prix (surtout pour Istanbul). Pour 16 euros, vous avez deux heures d’atelier et repartez avec votre propre parfum. Et avec un peu de chance et de talent, il sentira très bon. C’était une expérience vraiment agréable. Je recommande vivement :)
