We had a great experience at Lumiere Perfume Making. It’s a lovely place with excellent staff. Our instructor, Mr. Rei, was very patient, attentive, and truly made the session enjoyable. Overall, the experience was fantastic—we were so happy with how our perfumes turned out that we even upgraded our package. Highly recommended!

A must-try experience in Korea!
I booked through Klook, and it started promptly, with no wait. The studio was spotless, and the perfume-making class was very informative. Instructions were easy to follow, and I ended up with the scent I desired in a nice bottle. Kudos to my instructor, Ryy Gwang Hyon! I highly recommend this activity to anyone looking for a unique alternative to sightseeing, shopping, and dining while in Korea.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐We booked a 90-minute private choreography class and chose “Like Jennie.” It was such a fun and memorable experience!
Ana is energetic, patient, and very professional. Our group had a mix of beginner and intermediate levels, and she adjusted the pace perfectly so everyone could follow comfortably. She explained the moves clearly and created a relaxed, encouraging atmosphere.
The studio is stylish, spacious, and very clean. Highly recommend this class if you’re visiting Seoul and want a fun K-pop experience!

This perfume-making experience was a perfect 10 from start to finish. The process was incredibly fascinating and relaxing, and it was very easy to follow since it's a self-guided experience. The staff were also extremely polite, professional, and friendly, which made the experience even more enjoyable. I would highly recommend this to anyone visiting Seoul who is looking for a unique experience.

Had a very fun time making a ring with my girlfriend. Lots of customisation options and the staff are very helpful. Making the ring is very therapeutic and calming. Highly recommend to anyone in Hongdae!
