We honestly didn't expect much from this experience. But we were delighted by the knowledge and guidance of our host. We even created an extra fragrance because it was so much fun. We managed to get the bottles home in perfect condition too.

    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

    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.

    Very fun, Elif was a great instructor. So many oils to choose from, and she gives great advice on oils to pick!

    Fantastic experience

    Lynsey_G, Mar 2026
    From arriving at the workshop, which has beautiful views across the bus for us over to Sultanahmet and beyond, this was an amazing experience. We got to choose the different oils we wanted to use to make our unique perfume. It was so great to learn about how to put the different oils together with top middle and base notes. There are so many oils to choose from to create your fragrance which enables you to try lots of different smells. You leave the experience with a beautiful bottle of fragrance that you have created yourself. A truly lovely way to spend time learning about perfume and creating your own fragrance. Would definitely recommend and will come back again.

    Must do when in Istanbul!

    Danielle_R, Mar 2026

    Beren, she is such a lovely person. She helped us thru our workshop to make the perfume. We loved the perfume, the best activity to do in Istanbul if you are visiting. The views are also spectacular.

    Bosphorous Perfume

    Monica_B, Mar 2026
    Lovely location and Tuana was fun to work with. I would have liked a little more explanation about base layer, middle layer and top layers scents and what types of fragrances comprise each. The group was diverse and fun. Very enjoyable! The perfume and bottle are keepsakes!

    Amazing Experience

    A must for fragrance lovers

    Svetlana_N, Sep 2025
    The perfume workshop was amazing! They had approx 100 scents that you could choose from to craft your perfume and the class capacity was only 8 people which made it feel cosy and allowed the operators to come around and check in/ help you if you needed. The view and stained-glass window were also beautiful and atmospheric.
