An amazing experience and very educational. Both Tuana and Beren were knowledgeable, helpful and friendly. It is a great experience and you leave with a bottle of cologne/perfume that is uniquely yours. They ensure you have a great scent and experience and it is a fun and memorable time.

This was a well organised and fun activity. We met folk from different countries and shared some stories as we experimented with various perfumes to make our own unique scent. The facilities were well presented and well stocked. The perfumer was well informed and we all left happy with our end product.

    Amazing and fun experience! Tuana was incredibly welcoming and knowledgeable. It makes for a fantastic and unique souvenir.

    A must do when In Istanbul.

    Louise_D, Oct 2026
    It is a fun activity and you get to make a perfume that suits you exactly. Beyza was a great in assisting us to get the base to top note perfect. It is much more affordable than store bought and designer perfumes. This was my second time. I was there June 2025 as well. It is also a great place to meet people from across the globe to make human connections especially since the world is such chaos right now.

    A Memorable Experience

    Zeila_K, Sep 2026
    I really enjoyed this perfume-making class! It was such a fun and unique experience. There were so many fragrances to choose from! The whole process was really interesting, and I loved being able to experiment with different notes until I found a combination I liked. It was also nice leaving with a perfume that I made myself, so it feels like a little souvenir from my trip to Istanbul that I can actually use. I would definitely recommend this experience if you’re visiting Istanbul and want to do something a little different from the usual sightseeing.

    Enjoyed it a lot

    A Memorable Perfume Making Experience in Istanbul

    Brenda_F, Aug 2026
    This perfume making class was such a memorable experience in Istanbul. The class was small, which allowed our instructor plenty of time to work with each of us individually. She was professional, patient, knowledgeable, and made the experience both educational and fun. There were so many different scents to explore, and all of the supplies were provided. She even offered us Turkish tea while we worked. The beautiful views of the Bosphorus made the setting even more special. I highly recommend this experience, especially because you leave with your own handmade perfume, a unique souvenir to bring home from Istanbul.

    DeeAnn_H, Aug 2026
    This perfume making class was one of the great surprises of my trip. It was so delightful and informative. The instructor was kind and funny and very knowledgeable about all of the oils. There were at least 60 choices, probably more, and she was patient about helping us match the ones that gave us the end result we liked. I came away with a custom scent in a beautiful bottle.

    A Fun Experience

    Meghan_M, Aug 2026
    This experience was so fun! Tuana and Elif were great hosts who knew their scents. I wanted to make a scent that was discontinued and we worked together to recreate my own personal perfume! I also made a body oil that’s perfect to keep in your purse to roll on your wrists or skin. They offered tea after the experience as well. They found out I was a Taylor Swift fan and played a few songs as well! We had a lovely time and i have been using my scents on my continued travels throughout Turkey!

    A personal touch

    The selection of oils was amazing the mixes and instructions were fail proof. The attendees were friendly and helpful. And the end product smells great.

    The couple from Toronto :)

    Samantha_F, Aug 2026
    We had such a wonderful time! The two ladies running the experience were incredibly kind and accommodating, especially since we were running behind schedule. I am absolutely obsessed with the fragrance I created. It has become such a special keepsake from our trip to Istanbul. Scent is such a powerful sense because it has the ability to instantly bring back memories. Every time I wear this perfume, I’ll be reminded of this beautiful city and the great experience we had. If you’re visiting Istanbul, I can’t recommend this experience enough. It’s truly one of the most meaningful souvenirs you can take home.

    Amazing experience

    10/10 experience!!

    It was so amazing, staff are extremely friendly and helpful, consistently advising and assisting throughout. You really get to take your time as they assure you are satisfied with your own perfume. Irmak and Elif were so sweet and made the extremely truly enjoyable, their perfume knowledge is truly extensive and give amazing recommendations!

    great experience with teens

    Tuqa_N, Jun 2026
    we really enjoyed this experience! I took my two teenage sons who have recently been into cologne and I wanted them to explore how it's put together. our guide was very experienced, patient, and easy to work with. it was really interactive and we went away with a bottle of perfume which we loved! the location is easily accessible via the tram and there's a beautiful waterfront view outside the venue.
