Such a fun and unique experience!
Such a fun experience at Note – The Scent Lab! We created our own personalised fragrances from scratch, and Uni, our teacher, was fantastic. She explained everything so well, guided us through all the different notes and made the whole experience really enjoyable.
The venue itself is super cool, clean and beautifully set up. We absolutely loved the experience and walked away with our own unique scents to remember our time in Vietnam.
Highly recommend if you’re looking for something fun and a little different to do! 🌸✨

An unforgettable experience. An absolute must do in Ho Chi Minh.
The workshop was fantastic - the team really know their stuff when it comes to mixing different scents. Once we had our bases and then we were away - top and middle notes added to the base for a great scent. The whole process was seamless.
It was a great value for money experience.

Fun way to escape the rain.
My family had a lot fun making their own bottle of perfume. Before doing the class we didn’t know a lot about the different types of notes or classes of fragrances (this didn’t matter) It was lots of fun talking about which scents we liked. Our teacher Min was very patient and helpful in making our own cute little bottles to take home. A lovely family friendly activity to escape the rain.

Creating your own perfume
When getting there, everything gets explained in either Vietnamese or English. The guide explained which notes give certain impressions and what scents there are. This came with smelling different notes, so one can decide themselves what direction of scent they best align with. There is a huge variety of different notes to choose from and the guide helps with picking certain notes to align with what you have in mind. It was a fun experience!

A Wonderful and Personalized Perfume-Making Experience!
I had such a great time crafting my own personal perfume with Coach KYT at Note The Scent Lab! She is incredibly kind, talented, and definitely a great perfumer. She was very patient in guiding me throughout the whole process and gave me helpful tips on which scents would suit me best.
I really appreciated how patient she was, even when I wanted to experiment and rework my perfume several times. I think we went through quite a few jars! 😂 It was such a fun and personalized experience.
Highly recommend joining the perfume workshop at Note The Scent Lab, especially with KYT!

Would recommend!
Thành was super friendly, helpful and knowledgeable. He took me through all the scents and was really patient when I was indecisive 😅. In the end he guided me through the options until i was 100% happy with my scent. It was in such a cool space as well.
