Fun Date
Did this as a fun little date with my husband on our honeymoon in Turkey. Made great little souvenirs. It was fun smelling all the scents and trying different combinations, having each other sniff test our combos. Give you a nice bottle for them too.

The workshop run by 2 teenage girls
The workshop was run by two teenage girls. They could speak English, but not fluently. They were constantly on the phone, so literally, they were just paid to watch us. I wouldn't say that it was the worst experience, but we will definitely not recommend it to anyone, and I was unfortunately booked for two experiences in the same workshop, which I regret.
However, the tufting in another building of the workshop that appeared to be the same company was much better with the young gentleman who was accommodating, patient, supportive, and friendly throughout my experience.
Operator response
Thank you very much for your review. We carefully select our instructors and work diligently to ensure that every workshop is successful, enjoyable, and high quality. We are always striving to improve. Your feedback has been taken into consideration, and the necessary adjustments have been made.

Perfume making
Attended the perfume workshop with my two friends while traveling in Istanbul! Zeynep walked us through the different notes and layers of perfume making and helped us each create a scent unique to us! It was a very enjoyable experience and we were thankful to have Zeynep there to help us navigate the subtle changes to make our perfumes as lovely as possible. Definitely recommend!

Romantic experience in Istanbul
It was excellent experience that we enjoyed in Istanbul. They have huge collection of scents and its takes around 2 hours to make a perfume that is truly unique for your taste. Its very suitable for couples as its personal and romantic. Out host Murat was really polite and helpful and gave us good instructions. We highly recommend as one of the things to do in Istanbul.

One of the few places you can get in touch with your artistic side
Istanbul is an amazing place; I did not expect to like it as much as I did. One of the reasons is this place. They offer several different things to do from artworks, stained glass projects , cooking classes, and perfume and many others - making the choices seem endless. We had Murat work with us to create our individual scents. He did a good job helping us to create our own scents. We learned about base middle and top notes and the both of us left with a new coThis place is not far from the Glataport cruise terminal and can be easily be made part of your trip. We spent two hours here with 2 other couples and enjoyed complimentary apple tea and Turkish delight. It was a great value for the price.
