    Perfume Making Workshop review

    The course is on the Asian side, which is ok if you are up for the commute and are able to make your way home easily. The host meets the group and takes you to the Asian side but then it’s up to you to get home, i had no idea how to get home and was extremely lost and was close to tears. I called the host after an hour of trying to work out how to get back to the Euro side, and they escorted me to the correct station and helped me get home. Also, i am allergic to cigarettes and the space was full of people smoking in a confined space, and this left me feeling very unwell and congested. It also affected my smell in creating my scent, as the smoke was right next to the table where we were creating our perfumes. I also asked for a drink at the counter as i was told it was included, and the waiter said no. It was very confusing and I think it could have been better explained and planned. I did like the hosts, they were very nice and helpful but just those things made it stressful

    Highly recommend this workshop! Ali and the staff were very helpful and kind. There’s an option to meet them before the workshop if you’re staying on the European side to use the metro together to get to the Asian side. They even paid and helped me get back there after the workshop.

    The perfume-making experience with Ali was absolutely exceptional. His passion, knowledge, and warm hospitality made the session both educational and deeply personal. I walked away not only with a unique fragrance tailored to me but also with unforgettable memories. Highly recommended for anyone looking for a truly special experience in the city.
