    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!

    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

    The workshop was amazing and so insightful. Tuana was an amazing teacher and very friendly. Thoroughly enjoyed the workshop and would highly recommend to anyone visiting Istanbul.

    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.

    A truly hidden gem

    DanielaPatricia_S, Sep 2025
    It is totally worth it! The experience is amazing, at a really good price and Tuana guided us to find the perfect scent, she was so kind.

    Such a Beautiful Time

    Journee_N, Aug 2025
    I had such a wonderful experience in this perfume class! The entire session was not only fun and creative, but also incredibly wholesome. The atmosphere felt welcoming and inspiring, which made it easy to relax and really enjoy the process of exploring scents. The instructor was fantastic—very knowledgeable, patient, and approachable. They explained everything clearly and broke down the steps in a way that felt simple and encouraging, even for beginners. Because of their guidance, I felt confident experimenting with different notes and actually creating something of my own, which was both exciting and empowering. I walked away from the class not only with a beautiful fragrance but also with a new appreciation for the art of perfumery. I would absolutely recommend this experience to anyone who’s curious about fragrance, creativity, or just wants to try something unique and uplifting!

    Nice experience
