    It was a unique experience and Ali was a great instructor. It was a well-constructed step by step workshop and you get to keep your work with you (your signature perfume&your recipe for it). They offer you coffee and turkish tea as well. I enjoyed it so much that I would suggest my friends to give it a try👌🏻

    Perfume Making Workshop review

    I had such a great time! Our host was extremely knowledgeable and fun. We had over 80 scents to choose from, a lot of space for creativity! I loved the fact how we had the freedom to smell as many scents as we wanted, so we weren’t rushed to choose our 6 final scents. Oh, also, very cute how the activity was on the Asian side (Üsküdar), however, we were offered a free Marmaray ride from the European side (Yenikapı)! Very handy for tourists who are doing this workshop after a day of sightseeing! Recommend!

    we had a great time at the perfume, making class! The host was very knowledgeable and told us how to create the base, midsentence and top scents. I had a stomach problem during my original appointment and without hesitation they let me reschedule till the next day. 100% recommend this if you want to have some fun with your friends creating a new scent as they provided more than 20? (maybe more) different ones to mix!

    Perfume Making Workshop review

    Would rate this a 6/5 if I could. Mustafa and Selçuk were phenomenal hosts, personable, and well versed in perfume note balancing. They explained the basic breakdown of scents in a clear and concise manner. For the first hour of the class, we found scents we liked, and the second half of that time was spent combining the scents and balancing the strength of these scents to make a perfume. This class attracts a lot of fun people, and you end up chatting with your neighbors as you move around the table looking at the scents. My husband and I had a blast. Not only for women! A group of 5 men were in our class, so it was about 50/50.

    This was absolutely an outstanding excursion!! Not only was the host formidable, friendly, knowledgeable , and a precise coach in the area of perfume making, but the entire place was enchanting, perfect for a day of making perfume. I had no idea that I would learn so much about notes and the lasting power of each level of notes. I thoroughly love my customized scent and would do this event every time I come to Turkey. Wonderful people, wonderful place, wonderful day.

    Una actividad sensacional de principio a fin. El barrio es muy lindo, llegar ahí fue agradable. Son calles muy bonitas, llenas de lugares vistosos, coloridos, cafecitos y tiendas hermosas. El lugar de la actividad precioso, un café para tomar muchas fotos, te consienten en todos sentidos, ofrecen te, café, galletitas, las veces que lo pidas. Hacen una excelente introducción al arte de crear perfumes y elegir mi esencia fue genial. Hay más de 50 aromas. Me traje un perfume mío, creado por mi y para mi. Mustafa me asesoró en cómo combinarlos y me sugirió una nota extra para balancear mi creación. Estoy feliz. Mi mamá de 78 años y yo lo disfrutamos intensamente. Y todos ellos fueron sensacionales. Súper recomendado. Ni lo dudes.

    Parfaite organisation, maitre des parfums excellent pédagogue, on comprend mieux l' assemblage d'un parfum, on réalise son propre parfum progressivement et on repart avec un très beau flacon de sa propre composition. À faire sans hésiter, merci Mustapha

    Very fun group experience and a good opportunity to meet people. For an extra price (about 10 euro) you can create an extra bottle of perfume which makes an ideal gift. I've made perfumes at home before but I still learned new things here and got a chance to experiment with fragrances I'd never heard of! Complementary tea, biscuits and Turkish coffee are also provided

    Der Parfüm- Workshop war eine tolle Erfahrung, die unseren Aufenthalt sehr bereichert hat. Das Team war herzlich, erfahren und sehr hilfsbereit bezüglich der „Anreise“. Ali hat uns ausführlich den Prozess der Parfümherstellung erklärt und uns beim Ausprobieren immer über die Schulter geschaut. Das Ergebnis ist ein Fläschchen mit einem eigenen, individuellen Duft, das einem mitgegeben wird. Es hat viel Spaß gemacht und wir empfehlen die Aktivität ☺️☺️

    Fun activity for families while in Istanbul. My son loved mixing his own fragrances in the perfume workshop and Mustafa was very engaging and made the workshop very enjoyable. We appreciated that the host came to the European side to meet us and escort us on the metro to the Asian side to the workshop location (train fee included). Super easy and highly recommend.
