About This Activity

Step into the world of perfumery with this exclusive workshop in Istanbul. Under the expert guidance of a professional perfumer, you will learn the art of crafting a luxury perfume with a 25% essence concentration, which ensures your fragrance lasts longer than standard perfumes. The workshop provides a unique opportunity to blend traditional techniques with modern artistry, resulting in a fragrance that is both personal and professional.

The session begins with an introduction to the fascinating world of fragrances. You'll be guided through the rich history of perfume-making in Turkey, which has played an essential role in the evolution of global fragrances. Istanbul, known for its cultural heritage as a bridge between the East and West, has been a central figure in the perfume industry for centuries, making it the perfect setting for this experience.

Once you understand the basics of scent, you'll dive into creating your own custom fragrance. With access to over 70 different ingredients, you’ll blend floral, fruity, spicy, and woody elements to design your signature scent. The expert perfumers will teach you how to combine these elements to create a balanced, captivating perfume that reflects your unique personality.

Throughout the workshop, you'll enjoy traditional Turkish tea or coffee, immersing yourself in Istanbul’s local culture while you work. As you craft your perfect fragrance, you’ll learn about the various ingredients, their cultural significance, and how they come together to make a high-quality perfume. The session is designed to be both fun and educational, allowing participants to explore their creativity and gain hands-on experience.

At the end of the workshop, you’ll leave with a 50ml custom perfume bottle that you’ve created yourself, complete with a personalized label.
