This well-balanced class runs for approximately 1 hour and 30 minutes, and our professional perfumer will meticulously guide you through everything, from the basics of fragrance to the completion of your one-of-a-kind bespoke perfume. The fragrances we use are 100% essential oils and absolutes blended into unique bases we have crafted ourselves, incorporating a distinctive Korean sensibility. This allows you to create a special perfume that cannot be found anywhere else in the world. Furthermore, we hold a diverse range of scent notes, making it possible to create colognes for male guests.

In this workshop, you will create a perfume set consisting of a 10ml tester and a 50ml EDP (Eau de Parfum), which you can take home in luxurious packaging. It will serve as a perfect souvenir to cherish the memories of your trip to Korea.
