Perfume Making Workshop review

The activity was amazing. Firstly, the local is a charming coffee place, super spacious and well decorated. Our teacher Ali was very friendly, explained everything perfectly and helped us to decide the best essence combinations for our perfume. There are drinks (coffee, tea and water) and snacks available during the activity. The experiencie itself was very enriching, fun and we loved it.

Really great workshop. Ali, our host was really warm, helpful and informative. As well as coming away with our own signature scent, we learned the science behind the making of perfumes, which was really cool! Would definitely recommend.

Perfume Making Workshop review

Sehr interessanter und lehrreicher Workshop in einer schönen Location. Ali hat uns sehr gut die Grundregeln der Parfum-Kreation vermittelt. Aus 60 unterschiedlichen Essenzen konnten wir ein individuelles Parfum kreieren. Auch die Abholung und Rückfahrt mit Mustafa hat wunderbar geklappt. Zudem wurden wir mit köstlichem Türkischem Kaffee, Tee und Konfekt verwöhnt. Wir können den Workshop ohne Vorbehalt weiterempfehlen.

Perfume Making Workshop review

Ein absolutes Highlight! Ich bin ohne große Erwartungen hingegangen, aber wurde völlig überrascht und begeistert. Schon der Empfang war sehr freundlich, und wir wurden zum Workshop-Ort gebracht, der wunderschön und gemütlich war. Unser Guide Ali hat uns mit viel Wissen und Leidenschaft in die Welt der Düfte eingeführt, alles verständlich erklärt und uns jederzeit unterstützt. Die Erfahrung, meinen eigenen Duft zu kreieren, war unglaublich spannend – eine tolle Mischung aus Kreativität und Sinneserlebnis! Ich kann es wirklich jedem empfehlen!

Turkish Mosaic Lamp Workshop review

Mir (Patrick, 11 J.) hat es nicht so gefallen, weil ich meine kreative Idee (meine Skizze vom Mosaik-Sportauto mit Rädern) nicht aufkleben durfte, sondern Sterne uns Muster kleben musste. Obwohl mein Vater (Martin, 56. J.) der Kursleiterin meinen Wunsch erläutert hat, durfte ich meine Idee nicht umsetzen. Da musste ich weinen und fühle mich nicht ernst genommen und bloßgestellt. Obwohl das anderen Kindern in meinem Alter gewiss viel Spaß machen dürfte, finden wir, Ihr könnt ruhig mehr künstlerische Freiheit wagen und zulassen.
