Scent of Memories: Travel Perfume Making Workshop in Busan

Such a great experience at this perfume workshop! Our instructor, Q, was patient, knowledgeable, and very hands-on. He made a real effort to guide us in English and stepped in to help balance our formulas whenever the scents didn't feel quite right. The pacing was perfect and efficient but never rushed. He even surprised us with snacks and freebies. At such a reasonable price and located right near Busan Station, it is absolutely worth the money. Definitely add this to your list of activities when you go to Busan!

A wonderful experience 👍👍👍 The experience far exceeded the price. The instructor, Lee Gyu-yeol Q, was very gentle and explained everything clearly. Communication in English was not perfectly fluent but was perfectly fine. The instructor patiently guided us through the scent selection, and the process of slowly building the fragrance was very therapeutic. In the end, I received my own 30ml perfume, and the bottle is absolutely beautiful. The scent will fully blend after seven days. I'm really looking forward to it! Next time, I'd like to come back and learn painting from the instructor! (The location is a bit hard to find; you need to go through the door between the bakery and the Ha Sam Dong coffee shop, open it, and take the stairs up to the third floor.)

This was a fantastic perfume-making experience. Communication in English and Japanese was not an issue here. Although there wasn't a Chinese speaker, they did have a Chinese presentation, so even with my limited English, I could easily manage. The DIY process wasn't difficult; you choose 2 top notes, 2 middle notes, and 2 base notes from 30 available fragrances, making a total of 6 scents. These are then added in three stages to create your own personalized eau de toilette. Staff were on hand to assist throughout the entire process. I absolutely love my custom-made perfume. The shop is a bit hard to find, but it's very close to Chuo Station (Central Station). It's on the 3rd floor, up the stairs between the coffee shop and the bakery, diagonally across from Starbucks. It's a small studio that offers both perfume-making and painting classes.

I highly recommend this experience! I looked through several different options beforehand, and I'm so happy I chose this one offered by Q. Making my own perfume was a unique activity, and the host, Q, is absolutely wonderful. So kind, generous, and attentive to his guests. So warm and humble🙏 He was incredibly caring, especially since I was ill. He offered me extra tea and even adjusted the temperature in the room to make sure I was comfortable. He guided us through every step, sharing his honest feedback while still giving us the freedom to choose according to our own tastes. The atmosphere was so cozy and pleasant that I felt completely relaxed there. Some of Q’s paintings are displayed around the space, making it feel even warmer and more personal. Q is an artist who pays attention to beautiful little details. We received our perfumes in cute bottles, along with some adorable little surprises at the end, but I'd rather not spoil the experience for you. It’s absolutely worth it!❤️

I spent the most healing afternoon at this beautiful perfume studio. It was so fascinating to explore dozens of different notes and learn what truly resonates with my vibe. I ended up with a woody-floral blend that feels exactly like ‘me.’ The space itself is so aesthetic, and the packaging is just pure perfection. Definitely the best way to treat yourself!

This place has it all!!!!convenient location, great atmosphere, friendly staff, and high-quality perfumes! It’s just a minute’s walk from Jungang Station, which was super convenient, and the workshop itself feels like a charming, artsy café. The staff were so kind that I felt right at home, and the finished scent was exactly my style. I absolutely love it. If you’re ever in Busan, you’ve got to stop by! 🌿

It was a wonderful first-time experience and I had so much fun! ✨ I was able to create a scent that I'm completely satisfied with! I think this fragrance will always bring back memories of this trip. I'll cherish using it!

It's just a minute's walk from Central Station, so the location is perfect, and the workshop is really pretty and charming! The staff explained everything so kindly, which made for a really enjoyable experience. Best of all, the scent of the finished perfume was even better than I expected—I'm completely satisfied. I'm leaving feeling totally refreshed after spending time in such a lovely space! 🤍
