5.00This 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.
Thanks from Romy and Ahmet Can
