Perfume Making Workshop review

This perfume workshop was an unforgettable experience and my mom and I had an amazing time! Ali was great at instructing and helping us and is very knowledgeable about the perfume industry. It was so nice to be able to make our own signature perfume and I am always reminded of İstanbul every time I wear it. Don’t hesitate to try this workshop!

Perfume Making Workshop review

I love the experience of the perfume workshop and even more that it´s in the Asian side, as it made us visit this area, that we absolutely loved as well. Less crowded, less touristic and more authentic. The coffee place is super local and nice and the perfume workshop very professional. And even more.. my perfume is 100% made for me and by me. Couldn't smell better!!! Loved it in every sense.
