Amazing, great host. Had a wonderful experience with my beautiful amazing gorgeous talented girlfriend and made some great perfumes.
Great activity to do with friends. Learnt a lot about perfume making. We can’t wait to use what we made today.
Had the best time. Such a friendly and fun experience. Walked away with such a lovely perfume and would recommend this to anyone visiting.
Another fantastic experience in Seoul! P9 was awesome, and our family had an absolute blast creating our own personalized perfumes from scratch. Who knew we were all secretly master perfumers? Chloe created “Sakr,” Carmen went elegant with “Simplicity,” and naturally, I unveiled what is certain to become the hottest fragrance sweeping the happening scenes of Seoul… “The Barker.” Move over Chanel and Dior — there’s a new Kentucky perfumer in town! Such a fun and unique experience learning about fragrances, experimenting with different scents, and creating a cologne or perfume that is completely your own. If you’re in Seoul, get ready to immerse yourself in the world of perfume and walk away smelling exactly the way you designed. Now we’ll see whether “The Barker” becomes an international sensation… or gets banned from duty-free.
A kind staff and detailed teaching. Well prepared setup and interesting talk.
So nice experience! Everyone needs to try! So many option of fragrance. I recommend, it’s pretty close of metro
First, I must say the host/teacher was so accommodating. My friend was sick and unable to make the original booking time. We were able to reschedule with no problem. While we were there, we were promptly greeted and seated. He taught us about Parfum scents and their layers. He guided us to make the best scent for both of us! I’ve made perfume before but this experience was different because we had the opportunity to pour the droplets into our perfume bottle. Other experiences don’t offer this step, it is done automatically. We also received a body and room spray service! I was so happy. I highly recommend this experience :)
This was an amazing experience. Jae was an excellent host. He has so much knowledge about perfumes. He walked me through the difference between eau de cologne, eau de toilet and eau de perfume. He has a large selection of top, middle and last notes to choose from. I loved the way my perfume turned out. Definitely recommend!
A wonderful experience creating your own perfume! The owner is very kind and explains everything clearly. The place is elegant, refined, and has a very peaceful, Zen atmosphere. A truly lovely experience!
Well worth the money. A great experience and you end up with your own perfume at the end.
The perfume making was fun and exciting, there were many wonderful scents and the guide was super helpful
While in Seoul, we wanted to try a hands-on experience and found this perfume making class on Viator. I went with my teen daughter and we both loved the experience! Jay was very knowledgeable and friendly, and guided us helpfully through the process. The location was coincidentally directly behind our hotel, so that made finding the venue so convenient. It will be fun to have a custom souvenir and all the memories of taking the class together.
This is a fantastic experience. Easy and accessible to get to. The guide was great and knowledgeable. Highly recommend to have a unique souvenir.
This perfume making experience was the best and most memorable one that I had in Seoul. I left here with a wonderful fragrance to remember my trip by for several years.
This is such a fun activity with my 12-year old daughter. I was worried Seoul was all about food and shopping but this activity is definitely worth trying if you are looking for an unique experience with a teenage girl.
This class was amazing! It is fun, interactive course and the instructor was very kind and very helpful with the entire process! It was 10/10
This perfume class was amazing. Our instructor was very nice and very good at explaining how to make the perfume. 10/10 recommend for anyone visiting. 이 향수 수업은 정말 놀라웠어요. 강사님께서 향수를 만드는 방법을 매우 친절하고 잘 설명해 주셨어요. 방문하시는 분들께 10/10 추천드립니다.
The class was great! Very fun and informative! Would Recommend!
It was a very new but altogether a different experience. We enjoyed the activity and the support from Mr Ju . Highly recommended.
It was so much fun to make our own perfume. The atmosphere was very serene and we never felt rushed.
Such a fun experience. Jay-nim was so great at explaining everything and making sure we were comfortable with the process and liked our scent. Probably one of my favourite experiences in Seoul.
This was such a cool experience. Ju and ju senior were great at explaining the steps of how to make the Parfum and made the process easy. We enjoyed the experience and were very happy with how our scents came out. I would highly recommend! 10/10
Can’t recommend Parfum 9 enough! Everything was explained throughly and we had so much fun making a scent! Lovely perfumes.
Overall a great experience! Fairly easy to find and wonderful custom perfume at the end :-) Thank you!
Very entertaining experience. It's basically exactly as you would expect it, but the guide is extremely friendly and knowledgeable. We enjoyed this as a family activity.
This is a fun way to spend the afternoon in Hongdae! We each smelled and mixed our own custom scents and packaged them in our choice of bottle! This will be a fun souvenir to take home. Jay was helpful in helping us understand the process of perfume making.
Very friendly and patient specialist, who helped us create our own Perfume. He gave us some additional interesting information about perfumes at every step and me and my Mom both left the store happy with a good smelling perfume. :) Can recommend!
Jae was really knowledgeable and helped us through each step of the perfume. Really worth visiting when you are in Seoul!
Fun experience where you get the chance to create your own scent. Host is very kind and explains the process and a bit about scent making generally. It’s a great thing to do to take a minute to relax form the busy streets of Hongdae.
