Had such an amazing time. Beyza was extremely kind, patient and knew her craft. Would recommend and do it again. The atmosphere and view was also great.
Besa was great! The course was so much fun, I highly recommend it. You get a beautiful bottle of your preferred scent to go.
The guide was soooo nice and helpful! It was a whole new experience, sooo many options and the result is quite pleasing (She helped me a lot). We recommend it!
It’s a beautiful experience Would absolutely recommend to anyone visiting Turkey Make sure you add it to your itinerary
Amazing and fun experience! Tuana was incredibly welcoming and knowledgeable. It makes for a fantastic and unique souvenir.
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.
It was amazing, so lovely and at such a good price where off brand perfumes we were being sold for the same price as the whole classand perfume. Amazing! Peyza, the fscilitstor, was super sweet and patient in making sure everyone loved their perfumes. The entrance was through a restaurant where the guys were very helpful in finding the stairs in the back. Would do it again in a heart beat!
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.
The workshop was very fun and interesting. Elif was very knowledgeable and friendly. I enjoyed the activity and would recommend for a light afternoon.
Hands on experience that was really fun. Everybody got to take home their very own parfum. Nice view of the Bosporus plus beverages included.
Fantastic workshop, made two lovely perfumes, everything was very simple and easy Beyza was a fantastic host! Would recommend to anyone looking for a unique souvenir and experience!
Amazing experience. Beautiful setting, wonderful scents and such a special thing to do. English speaking is great. I would recommend to anyone.
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.
Amazing & educational, it was fun trying new scents amd seeing how they blend together ❤️ the girls were detailed and have good vibes
It was truly a highlight of my trip! I loveeed it so much, you spend an hour learning and smelling scents and you get to create your own, Tunour and Elif are such great calm teachers, it felt like therapy! Honestly highly recommend i would definitely do it again
amazing workshop, they are so helpful and guiding
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.
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.
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.
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!
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.
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! Really enjoyed the hospitality and expertise of Elif and Tuano. A must do in Turkey
Super fun experience creating our own perfume. There were so many different scents to choose from and the instructor was super friendly and so helpful during the workshop. Would highly recommend experiencing this workshop, you will enjoy it!
We booked a workshop to learn about and create our own personalised perfume . Both hosts were incredibly knowledgeable , passionate about their subject and with a real mix of participants made us all feel very welcome We thoroughly enjoyed it :)
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.
My girlfriend and I had so much fun! We had a great time with the small group and Beran was so nice and helpful! Highly recommend!
Really fun!! Hard to choose from all the wonderful smelling oils. Happy with my final choices with help from our lovely host.
I did the workshop with my mom and aunt, who both speak little English, but that wasn’t a problem at all! Elif and Beren helped us a lot, were very patient and explained everything very clearly! The help and suggestions we got helped us to find the best sent for us! It was great, would recommend doing!!
It’s such a therapeutic experience, highly recommended!!!! 5/5 for sure! Tuana and Irmak are soooo great!
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!
Do not miss this experience! If you love arts/crafts/perfume, etc this is a must do! Plus the view is amazing! Also the instructors Tuana and Irmak are extremely knowledgeable and friendly! We were at a table with people from all over the world and the end results were amazing. Great experience!!!
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 good workshop with Beyza, we all left with some excellent fragrances after being taught about the different oils
Fun experience. Beyza was very informational and the setting was great. I would definitely recommend.
We had such a fun time at the perfume workshop! It was fascinating to explore all the different scents and create our own unique fragrance. The experience was made even more special by the beautiful view overlooking the Bosphorus. Highly recommended for anyone looking for a unique and memorable activity in Istanbul!
The perfume making was very relaxing- trying out all these different scents and combining them for your own perfume. Beyza was awesome, I had a very good experience. I would do it again! 100% recommendation
Very calming and fun activity - left with more knowledge and a fragrance I love and cant wait to wear. Tunana and Elif were so attentive, friendly and knowledgeable, many thanks!
Must visit workshop. Tuna was great in recommending scents that best go together and helping us create our own parfume. We enjoyed it very much.
Had an amazing time taking the class. Beyza was very helpful and super knowledgeable of the fragrances.
It was very interesting and funny, friendly atmosphere. we really like this workshop, thanks!
Elif was so helpful and sweet. She knew a lot about the scents and how to properly layer them. She gave plenty of recommendations and also ensured you had plenty of time to finish. I would highly recommend for something fun, unique, and peaceful!
Lots of great aromatic choices to create a plethora of perfume combinations. Relaxed vibe, small class size, and pleasurable experience.
I had a great experience with Tuana! She was so friendly and accommodating. I really enjoyed making my fragrance and the tea was super yummy. Would definitely recommend
Very fun, Elif was a great instructor. So many oils to choose from, and she gives great advice on oils to pick!
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.
Tuana was an excellent host - informed, and helpful. The perfume making was fun, comfortable and we got small touches of care at every stage. Highly recommend.
I really recommend it, what a nice experience. I mean i am crazy about perfumes, after this experience i ll do it home as well, as well study more about it. Elif was a great host, she walked us through the process and gave us recommendations. Really go for eat. Thank you Elif
I was sceptical at first, but a friend recommended it to me so I went. And I must say it was amazing! You learn a lot about scents and making perfumes. And 22€ for a bottle of perfume 50 ml is a steal :D. The experience last like 1 hour. Tiana did a very good job.
