Perfume Making Workshop review

Friendly guide Kadir who brought us to the workshop and Nadia who conducted the workshop were both amazing. I really learned the basics of perfume making and came away with a bottle of my creation, what’s not to like! The group this tends to attract is friendly as well, it was a nice group workshop.

Perfume Making Workshop review

İstanbul'da katıldığımız ve keyif aldığımız workshoplardan biri daha :) Kalabalık ancak keyifli bir grupla, eğitmenimizin anlatımı ve rehberliğinde güzel, terapi gibi bir vakit geçirdik çift olarak. Daha önce hazır esanslarla tecrübemiz vardı ancak 50ye yakın (belki daha fazla) esansı tek tek koklayıp kendi formülümüzü yaratmak çok güzel bir tecrübeydi. Eğitmenin canayakın ve bilgili tavırları, atölyenin bulunduğu kafenin keyifli ortamı etkinliği daha güzel hale getirdi. Ayrıca çayları ve kahveleri de çok lezzetli :) 50 mllik parfümümüzü alıp çıktık :). Parfüm bitsin yenisini yapmaya yine geleceğiz :)) Instagram, YouTube : @maksatyolculuk

Amazing experience! Mustafa is very young but very experienced in parfume mixing process. At the beginning, he shared interesting information about verall process and during workshop was there to support each group member to create the unique parfume. Also, the energy in the group was amazing, so 2 hours flew away like it was half an hour.

Perfume Making Workshop review

We had such a wonderful time at the perfume workshop! Zeynep was incredibly clear in her explanations, very friendly, and made all the information easy to understand. The whole experience was fun and engaging, with a very diverse group of people from different ages and nationalities, which made it even more special. It was truly a beautiful experience — the price is excellent for everything we learned and created. If we return to Istanbul, we would definitely do it again. If you’re visiting Istanbul, this is an absolute must!
