Turkish Mosaic Lamp Workshop review

Nous avons adoré créer nos propres lampes. Le seul conseil que j'aurai à donner est de parler moins vite durant les explications, ou de les faire de manière plus graduelles puisque, dans tous les cas, elles seront répétées. Nous sommes reparties (ma grand-mère, ma mère et moi) très heureuses de nos créations que nous pouvons garder :) Merci beaucoup.

Perfume Making Workshop review

The perfume making was a great experience, unlimited tea and biscuits as described. The venue is nice and cosy, not too big and not too small. However, it is not in Sirkeci as described. This is just the meeting point. The host was good and very informative. Things were explained clearly during the workshop and at our own pace. We are very pleased with our perfume.

Perfume Making Workshop review

This was truly a special experience. I had a fantastic time crafting a perfume that smelt divine. The master perfumer guided our small group through the art of creating a long-lasting essence, rich with notes we loved with an aroma that lingers far beyond the first spritz. I highly recommend this activity for ladies, gentlemen, and couples alike.

Perfume Making Workshop review

Attending the Perfume Workshop was an absolute delight! The experience was both educational and creative, allowing us to explore a variety of high-quality essential oils and fragrance notes to craft our own signature scent. The selection of oils provided was impressive, ranging from fresh citrus and floral notes to deep woody and musky undertones, catering to every preference. A special thanks to Mustafa, who was an incredible host throughout the session. His passion for perfumery was evident in the way he explained the process, guiding us step by step with patience and enthusiasm. His knowledge and expertise made the experience even more enjoyable, ensuring that each participant felt confident in blending their own unique fragrance. This workshop is perfect for anyone looking to learn more about the art of perfumery, whether you’re a beginner or simply looking for a fun and interactive experience. Walking away with a custom-made perfume felt truly special! Highly recommend this wor
