A long lasting memory - This perfume-making workshop with Mustafa was such a unique and meaningful experience. It’s hard to find a unique souvenir in Istanbul, but creating a scent tied to your memories of the trip feels incredibly special. Since scent is the closest thing tied to memory. Mustafa was extremely knowledgeable and super helpful at narrowing down a fragrance profile that actually fit me. With so many ingredients to choose from, I could’ve felt overwhelmed, but he made the process feel easy and intuitive. I felt completely at ease the whole time and never rushed.

We had a great time - Awesome experience. Met met our guides and the rest of our group near the train station and rode the train to the Asia side of Istanbul then walked to the location. Our guides were very knowledgeable about the scents and process and gave very clear instructions and guidance. They also let us make multiple bottles of perfume while we were there which was cool. They also provided snack and refreshment so that was nice as well.
