About This Activity

Immerse yourself in the timeless charm of Galata with our unique perfume-making workshop, where professional perfumers guide you through the art of fragrance design in an atmosphere rich with Turkish hospitality.

In this hands-on experience, you’ll explore a curated selection of over 80 premium ingredients, from bright citrus top notes to deep, woody base accords. Learn the fundamentals of perfume composition and craft your signature scent using a 25% essence concentration, the same level used in luxury fragrances, ensuring richness and long-lasting wear.

As you blend and compose your perfume, enjoy traditional Turkish tea or coffee, served in a warm and welcoming space that nurtures both creativity and connection. The workshop offers more than just a sensory experience, it’s a journey into the cross-cultural heritage of perfumery, where Eastern traditions meet Western refinement.

Guided by experts with a deep passion for scent and storytelling, you’ll gain both technical skills and cultural insight, understanding how history and artistry combine in every drop of perfume.

At the end of your experience, you’ll take home a 50 ml bottle of your custom-made fragrance, beautifully labeled and created entirely by you. With its professional concentration, your perfume will last up to 48 hours, serving as a luxurious and personal souvenir of Istanbul.

Whether you're a fragrance lover, a curious traveler, or simply seeking a meaningful activity, this workshop offers a memorable, multisensory journey into the heart of Turkish perfumery.
