    Perfume Making Workshop review

    We lucked out by having a private group session with Ali where we were able to learn more about Turkish culture which was already a huge bonus on top of the basics of perfumery. We had much time to explore the 70+ scents and to formulate our unique scent. I highly recommend this workshop to anybody who is interested in fragrances! You get to bring home your own bottle too. Wishing you and your family the very best Ali. Thank you again.

    Such a unique and lovely experience! The workshop was one of my favorite experiences in Istanbul. The teacher was super friendly, knowledgeable, and he made everyone feel comfortable and helped the group connect so naturally. The workshop is held in a cozy, atmospheric café and they have over 70 perfume ingredients to play with, which made the whole process feel really personal and creative. I left with a scent that feels totally me :) Would love to go again next time I’m in Istanbul — highly recommend it if you’re into scents or just want to do something a little different!

    Host was very knowledgeable and made us feel welcomed. However they should be strict with meeting times - we were on time but had to wait almost 20 mins for late comers under the hot sun! Wasn’t fair for participants who were punctual. Nice environment on the Asian side of Istanbul BUT the activity should have been done in a place AWAY from smokers as the constant cigarette smoke from the next tables really interfered with our experience / the cigarette smoke kept filling our nostrils and interrupted our scent testing!

    Amazing atmosphere with a great guide. The group was nice and intimate which made the experience more fun. Afterward some of us went to dinner which was a bonus. Great way to meet people locally and internationally while putting together these unique scents!

    Great time making a custom perfume. They lead you through the process and are super helpful when it comes to assiting you with mixing certain scents to find your ideal one. Love the scent I ended up making - would highly recommend. Plus the bottle size is carry on friendly, while still feeling like you have a substantial amount.

    This was the first thing I did in Istanbul and I’m so glad I did! The hosts were wonderful, it was fun and informative. Great for solo travellers, the group I was with was a lot of fun. The selection of scents was really impressive and we all left with a unique scent we loved!

    Nous avons adoré cette activité ! L’ambiance était chaleureuse, conviviale et très inspirante. La personne qui animait l’atelier était vraiment passionnée et a su nous guider avec des explications claires et intéressantes tout au long du processus. C’était fascinant de découvrir les différentes senteurs, de les associer et de composer un parfum à notre image. On est reparties avec un flacon unique, et le souvenir d’un moment aussi original qu’agréable. Une expérience que l’on recommande sans hésiter !

    Nous avons adoré créer notre parfum dans ce magnifique café. L’activité est à la fois ludique, amusante et offre un excellent rapport qualité prix (surtout pour Istanbul). Pour 16 euros, vous avez deux heures d’atelier et repartez avec votre propre parfum. Et avec un peu de chance et de talent, il sentira très bon. C’était une expérience vraiment agréable. Je recommande vivement :)

    We really enjoyed this 2-hour perfume making experience. Our guide Ali was educational and entertaining and it was very rewarding to take the time to experiment and create a bespoke personal scent to take home.

    My husband and I had booked this session and were really looking fwd to it so eagerly as the last major thing to do before we returned back from our vacation, however the meeting instructions were not conveyed to us and while we waited for them in a location confirmed on their voucher, their meeting place was different and we completely missed this session and were very sad and disappointed.

    L’activité était vraiment top ! Pour un peu plus d’une vingtaine d’euros, nous avons pu discuter avec de nombreuses personnes, en apprendre un peu plus sur la fabrication des parfums et passer un moment très agréable. Nous sommes repartis avec nos parfums et de précieux conseils si nous souhaitons le reproduire à l’avenir. Top!

    Can’t remember having an experience this wonderful! Seriously no comments at all!! Nothing but pure fun, joy, learning and uniqueness. Mustafa was very knowledgeable in-addition to the sweet lady who was assisting us as well. I believe she’s from Kazakhstan. She helped me take some nice shots during this unforgettable workshop. Value is 5/5 as an actual 50ml perfume might cost more than this entire amazing workshop. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!
