    Perfume Making Workshop review

    영어가 부족해서 설명을 정확히 알아듣기는 힘들었지만 다양한 나라의 사람들을 만나서 즐거운 분의기속에서 나만의 향수를 만드는 워크샵은 정말 좋은 경험이었습니다. 다만 무제한 제공이라는 수제쿠키의 맛과 양은 좀 별로였네요.

    Perfume Making Workshop review

    I cannot say enough good things about this experience. I had such an amazing time at the booking that I rebooked and came back later in the week to make another perfume. The staff goes above and beyond in making the experience incredibly special. I will be back next time I’m in Istanbul.

    Perfume Making Workshop review

    This was one of the best experiences we had in Istanbul. Ali and his team are really adorable and welcoming. We had a second workshop with Eda on glass painting and she's the sweetest ever. Very generous as well with unlimited coffee, tea and cookies 🍪 You'll bring back unique items, but also unique memories 🤩

    Turkish Mosaic Lamp Workshop review

    We did this workshop on the last day of flying out, so I will suggest to maybe do it a day before so the glue on the lamp can dry properly before packing it in a suitcase. I did the workshop with my 5 year old and we thoroughly enjoyed it. It was lovely to be given clear instructions by Baiza to complete the lamps in the end. The only thing I will say is during the booking process it is not stated clearly workshop location is on the Asain side, as I assumed the location was the meet up piont, which was nearby to our hotel. Since It was our last day i was in two minds after booking. But having mention the above, they also have someone on hand (thank you Himmet) to pick you up from the meeting piont and chaperone you over to the Asian side, which assured me to attend and I'm glad I did! Thank you Beyza and and Himet for your lovely company and hospitality! I will 100% recommend this workshop if you are visiting Istanbul.

    This was a true highlight of our trip to Istanbul. The workshop was well structured, our guide was approachable, knowledgeable and fun. The setting was excellent and comfortable, the equipment was all there and we were even given a gift which might have been as much as the workshop cost alone! It was a great fun and highly recommended if you visit Istanbul!

    Perfume Making Workshop review

    The whole process was absolutely awesome. From the start, they helped us with the transport method, they also offered to guide us from other part of Istanbul to the workshop place, even paid for the metro train tickets. There, we had a beautiful time, with Ali as workshop teacher, unlimited snacks, tea and coffee. Also we made our own signature parfumes and some new friends. One of the best experiences in Istanbul. A must do!

    Beyza is a very nice and friendly guide. She picked us up in Sirkeci and brought us to the location in Üskpdar. The workshop was very good organised. Everything was explained very good and Beyza was very patient with us. The lamp is a very good souvenir!

    I didn’t have any expectations going into Ali’s workshop, but had the most incredible and memorable experience. Ali is funny, kind, and incredibly knowledgeable about perfume. I even had to reschedule because of inclement weather and he and Aziz were so helpful and accommodating. I have the most amazing personalized scent to take home and can’t believe how affordable it all was! Thank you Ali and Aziz! 🌞
