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.
