Perfume Making Workshop Reviews

Absolutely loved it! This was probably one of the best workshops I’ve ever attended. Since we were staying on the European side of Istanbul and the workshop is on the Asian side, Ebiha gave us very clear instructions and even met us at the meeting point. It took us around 20 minutes to get there. We were welcomed by a young man named Mustafa, who was incredibly kind, calm, and patient. He speaks excellent English and took the time to explain everything thoroughly, answering all of our questions. He taught us the basics of perfume making and shared many little tips and tricks to help us create the perfect fragrance. We created our own 50 ml EDP which is the perfect souvenir from Istanbul. The workshop takes place in a lovely little open-air café, comfortably shaded, which created the most pleasant and relaxing atmosphere possible. I highly recommend this experience to anyone visiting Istanbul!

Zeynep was so sweet and knew her job pretty well. It was so fun and interesting workshop. Thanks again

I loved this activity so much! 👍👍👍 Turkey is already a major transportation hub, and spices are also a part of the culture. It's really satisfying to be able to personally create a perfume and then take it away with you. There are many options. In the past, I couldn't tell what scent was what when I smelled perfumes, but now I finally understand. And the young man was very professional, his explanation was very clear and detailed, and his English was also very good. He could make people understand the formula for blending perfumes right away. The most amazing thing is that he knew how to blend it just by smelling it and suggested the right proportions. In the end, the product was amazing. It was really fun. (And it gave me a chance to go to the Asian part of Istanbul. You should definitely try it.)

Great

It was great. The location is a really nice café. The hosts took a lot of time to advise us. There were a lot of fragrances, so there was definitely something for everyone. I learned a lot about perfume. I can only highly recommend it.

Very professional service, its seems to be run by family & friends. Very friendly and enjoyable afternoon, will highly recommend anyone ✅

My mom and I had a fantastic time—this was truly another highlight of our trip! I've always wanted to create my own perfume, and this experience exceeded my expectations. The instructor was incredibly friendly, welcoming, and knowledgeable, making the entire process fun, engaging, and easy to follow. The whole team was wonderful and genuinely wanted everyone to have a great experience. What impressed me most was their exceptional customer service. I accidentally booked the wrong date, and they happily accommodated the change. Then I had to reschedule again due to a conflict, and they were once again flexible, understanding, and accommodating. That level of care is rare and was greatly appreciated. The experience was unique, memorable, and so much fun. I left with a perfume I created myself and a great memory to take home. Highly recommend this experience to anyone looking for something special while traveling!

A great workshop! The host was incredibly knowledgeable and engaging.

This workshop was good fun and our host was very sweet. However we were told that essential oils were used but in fact they were synthetic and didn't smell anything like the authentic oil. I was very disappointed, but it explains the low cost of the workshop. If 100% essential oils had been used, the cost would have been vastly more expensive. so unfortunately the finished product that I made smells cheap.

Place was lovely. The guys there make you feel appreciated and like at home. Definitely I highly recommend the experience. About the workshop, it teaches you a lot about perfume basic essences, composition, and also principles for formulation. Once there, you discover a lot of interesting people from different nationalities and cultures. Don’t waste the opportunity of having an unforgettable experience.

this was a very interesting workshop. it is quite fun, i think there were hundreds of flavours to pick from so thousands of possible combinations! the location was very chic and casual.

The team was absolutely wonderful, with everyone being kind, professional, and welcoming—except for the coach. The trainer seemed determined to be friendly, while we were equally determined to survive the session. The funniest part? He even talked about us in Turkish with another trainee, apparently assuming we wouldn’t understand.

It was an unforgettable and interesting experience. We will definitely come back again.

It was one of the coolest experiences of the trip. The space is beautiful and is located in a neighborhood on the Asian side that is very much worth a visit. The entire team was extremely attentive and friendly. Mustafa, who was our teacher, is a sweetheart. She explained everything very well and helped each person find combinations that resulted in a unique perfume. I'm looking forward to using mine and taking this special keepsake from Istanbul with me. Everything is very well thought out, and there is a huge variety of fragrances to explore. They also serve unlimited tea and coffee during the experience. 10/10

It was an amazing experience and the team was so well organised. They gave really good information for the experience and they made sure that you understand everything. Very friendly, very engaging and helpful. It was really worth it, would definitely book again !!

Recommend this experience for anyone interested in perfumery.

The greatest experience

Mustapha is super professional, friendly, patient, and knowledgeable. I'm so happy with this experience and I love my perfume!

We had a lot of fun as a group! Zai was super knowledgeable and engaging in helping us create our unique mixes.

I found the workshop very interesting and well guided. I can recommend it to anyone who wants to experience something special. Thank you very much for this experience 🙏

Superb experience. Would recommend this to anyone visiting Istanbul!

Me and my girlfriend were in Istanbul for a few days and really wanted to do something special – and this workshop was just the right thing! Although it was a large group, our host took the time to advise and help each person individually. We had a wide selection of different fragrances, and it was really fun to create our own perfume. The interaction with the other participants was also very nice and relaxed. The atmosphere was great and the tea was very tasty. Highly recommended. Now we have something unique that reminds us of Istanbul! I'd love to do it again! ☀️

Great experience, the location, the guide, the final product were all excellent. Highly recommended if you are staying in Istanbul.
