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!
