Guestbook

The host- Ali is very professional and knowledgeable about scents and perfume! I had the best 2 hours learning and mixing around the scents under his guidance. Truly an exceptional experience!

Great atmosphere and vibe. The host was truly skilled at his craft and helped everyone put together their own perfumes.

Çok keyifli bir etkinlikti. Deneyim için mutlaka gidilmeli.

Teljesen elégedett vagyok. Az idegenvezető pontos volt. Minden gördülékenyen ment. Nagyon jó volt a szervezés. Nagyon szép lámpák készültek, ha segítségre volt szükség akkor mindenben segítettek .

Even iets anders na alle bezienswaardigheden. Super leuke workshop. enthousiaste begeleiding. de tijd vliegt voorbij en je gaat met een leuk lampje naar huis.

Aziz was brilliant. Pick up was fantastic

Bayza was our instructor for the workshop and she was really friendly with us, the team waited for us on the metro station and they guided us directly to the workshop café (payment for transport was included) The workshop was chill, and relaxing, you don’t notice the time flying while you are concentrated on creating your own lamp, the steps are easy , you just need a little bit of creativity to have beautiful colors. I highly recommend it for anyone who want to spend some quality time away from the main busy tourist spots, and you will have your lamp to take it with you at the end as a perfect souvenir from istanbul

Alles in allem war es eine richtig tolle Erfahrung. Sehr entspannte Atmosphäre, gut organisiert und sehr freundlich

Loved the venue and how the workshops are set up. Coby. The lecturer were absolutely amazing. The activity is exciting and I learned more about the tradition of mosaic lamps. Really excellent!

Absolutely fantastic! Much more than what I anticipated it would be. Amazing oils and the experience is a MUST.

We loved how friendly the teacher was and how fun and educational it was. The gift at the end was super awesome. The one thing I would change it add would be the info that you take the metro there and it was covered. But coming back we were on our own. Not a big deal but had to buy a metro card during rush hour when we could have purchased one earlier in the day.

Świetne warsztaty podczas których zrobiliśmy własnoręcznie lampki, każdy mógł wykazać się kreatywnością i zrobić lampkę według własnego pomysłu. Dla tych mniej kreatywnych były podkładki z propozycjami tradycyjnych wzorów. Masa kolorów, zarówno szkiełek jak i koralików i swietna pamiątka do zabrania do domu. Prowadzący warsztaty byli bardzo mili i pomocni, wszystko dokładnie tłumaczyli i pomagali w stworzeniu idealnej lampki. Po wyschnięciu zabezpieczyli je dokładnie i spakowali, żebyśmy mogli bezpiecznie dowieźć je do domu. Bardzo gorąco polecam ☺️

Really interesting and informative class

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

Loved the whole experience, the location was very nice, it was my first time making my own perfume, the host was very helpful and the whole atmosphere cozy and relaxed, beautiful Turkish experience! very grateful!

Very involved and fun activity! Amazing guide!

Our guide was amazing and helpful and the activity was a really good experience

We thoroughly enjoyed the workshop. the collection from the meeting point was good. The workshop was well organised but the mosaic pieces could have been organised slightly better. The lady explaining what you need to do was very quick and kept disappearing but the guide who collected us was always on hand. My partner felt slightly rushed as he wanted to make his own design and this was not well catered for. The quality of the lamp is excellent that you make and it is worth waiting longer than an hour for it to 'go off' as it is still quite tacky. We asked for some paper to wrap prior to the bubble wrap which was great. The manager was really helpful and cheerful. All in all we had an excellent time at the workshop and it is certainly worth the money.

Wonderful thank you so much

Great experience, amazing guide. Clear step by step instructions on how to make your own perfume using your other selection of ingredients with other 71 ingredients provided. Once you've chosen your selected ingredients the guide helps you further to make the perfect combination, supporting you by showing you which one would go and which one to change for the perfect scent. Would definitely recommend this one to everyone

Overall, I liked the experience. I got to smell so many scents and make my own customized perfume. Guide was very informative and nice. The only issue I had was that the actual event started 25 minutes late. But overall, I enjoyed the workshop. Snacks and drinks were nice.

The activity itself was quite nice. I enjoyed making myself a lamp. But the people running it have serious management issues. We were told that we must be at the meeting location at 8:30 am and that if we didn’t show up on time, they would leave without us. So, despite landing in Istanbul at 1:30 am and not getting the opportunity to eat breakfast, we were there by 8:15 am. The guide herself was late by 3 minutes at 8:33 am, but we all stood there in the rain and proceeded to wait for late comers till 8:45 am. With all the delays and transport, the activity actually started at 9:30 am (so instead of it being a 3 hour activity from 9 am, it was only 2.5 hours long…and was rushed). Not to mention, during the activity itself, the instructor kinda neglected my presence, such as when I asked for more beads or glue. I had to seek help from the assistant, who helped me. The activity itself was nice, but general staff was not efficient or easy to work with.

They had told us to meet at a specific location at 8:30, but they let us be 15 minutes late waiting for some people. My friend and I landed at midnight which meant we couldn’t get much rest. So if we were asked to meet at a specific time, I’d like that time to be respected. When we arrived, Beyzanur was quite disrespectful towards me. Of the group, she would constantly call me out, VERY frequently asking me if I was done when my lamp was clearly not. Her general tone and attitude towards me was not appreciated, making me generally get annoyed and ruining the morning. She never talked to my friend, making me feel targeted for whatever reason. The activity itself was good fun and quite relaxing, if you don’t have someone hounding you.

This activity was fun. Mustafa was very informational and helped throughout the whole process, enabling me to make a perfume I genuinely liked.
