So much fun! - What a great experience! We went with our 2 kids and we all had a blast. The staff were so attentive and made the experience so much fun. On a side note, if you choose the meet up option on the European side, the guide will take you over to the Asian side (where the workshop is held) via ferry or train. However, after the class, you are to make your own way back. It's not complicated, we were just surprised.

Fun and educational!!! Must try! - Ali was an amazing host. He's so well versed in flagrance science and I learned so much! The two hours were well spent and can't beat the price when you're walking away with your own perfume! Also includes tea and cookies.

Exceed expectations - Great experience: friendly welcome, knowledgeable and attentive teacher, very special activity with many materials available, tea, coffee and biscuits; really well organized, but above all I was struck by the young and welcoming environment, where tables of guests devoted themselves to one or another traditional activity under the guidance of experienced and smiling teachers Plus, the perfume bottle I made to take home... Congratulations! <3 Serena F.

Friendly, knowledgeable host. Cosy environment. - Our host Mustafa was very knowledgeable and entertaining. He made sure everyone in the workshop was comfortable and made the effort to get to know each other. It was a cosy environment and everything was provided with unlimited complimentary tea and biscuits. We really enjoyed making our own perfumes including the children. I’d highly recommend it while in Istanbul.

Best experience in town! - This was one of the best experiences we had in Istanbul. Ali and his team are really adorable and welcoming. We had a second workshop with Eda on glass painting and she's the sweetest ever. Very generous as well with unlimited coffee, tea and cookies 🍪 You'll bring back unique items, but also unique memories 🤩

One of the highlights of our visit - Super course and explanation of how to make perfume, plus we all got to take away the perfume that we made. Plenty of tea and coffee provided during the course. Very enjoyable afternoon. Only drawback was that this was not held at the place listed and we had to travel to the venue which wasn’t well explained in the booking. Highly recommend this for a few hours of something different in Istanbul.
