Perfume Making Workshop in Ho Chi Minh City by NOTE - The Scent Lab

We had a lovely morning perfume-making session at NOTE. Although the workshop was a bit far from where we were staying, it was well worth the trip. Our facilitator, Cam, was very hands-on and guided us every step of the way. She made the basics easy to understand and was incredibly encouraging throughout the process. She also shared her expertise on which scents to blend to achieve our desired fragrance. After the session, we enjoyed exploring and smelling the full range of scents they have in-store. Plus, as workshop participants, we received a discount on our purchases! Overall, this is a perfect experience if you’re looking for a relaxing and intentional activity while you're in hcmc!

This was an excellent experience. The waiting room, shop, and experience room were all very pleasant. The CAM staff member's English explanation was great, and they very kindly explained the entire perfume-making process. I highly recommend trying this if you visit Ho Chi Minh City.

The class was very very good as compared to what my daughter had in Singapore. Well pace and the instructor was very patient with our questions too. Will definitely come back!

Loved the experience of learning the 3 level of mixing a perfume.. and how we have got our final formula..

very good session. The instructor guided to make perfume. very fun and i loved it very much

I had such a lovely time at The Scent Lab in Ho Chi Minh City. The class was simple, calm, and really enjoyable. Doli guide you step by step, so it’s easy to create your own perfume even if you’re new. I liked how relaxed everything felt, and how you can choose scents that match your mood and style. In the end, you get a perfume that’s truly your own. A very nice and unique experience,I’d recommend it if you want to try something different. I named it Eau de parfum Marie 😍

I had an amazing time at the Workshop. It was a fun, hands-on experience where I learned a lot about fragrance creation and got to design my own custom scent. Cam, and her assistant Amber were absolutely wonderful. They took the time to explain every step with patience & expertise. As someone who’s been in the beauty for over 20yrs, I was extremely impressed by their knowledge, professionalism, and the welcoming environment they created. I experienced 1 weird mess with a couple across from me who stared & laughed the ENTIRE time. They assumed because I didn’t speak their language, I couldn’t read energy or facial expressions. That moment was no reflection on the experience itself. It’s simply an observation, I want to share honestly while still acknowledging how wonderful the workshop was overall. I loved sampling/blending different notes, testing them on my skin, & bottling my finished creation. I highly recommend this class to anyone visiting HCMC and would definitely return.

the workshop is very fun and enjoyable. the workshop provide wide varieties of scents and we got to take home a little souvenir that reminds us Vietnam! the instructor is very friendly and answers our questions accordingly. would definitely try the candle making one if we visit vietnam in near future.

We joined the candle-making workshop by NOTE - The Scent Lab in Ho Chi Minh and absolutely loved the experience! The session was divided into three parts — first, a short but informative introduction about scents; second, creating our own custom fragrance; and finally, blending it with the candle wax and decorating the finished product. Each step was hands-on and well-guided. The instructor was super friendly, engaging, and really made the whole process fun. I especially enjoyed the mini games, which kept everyone active and made learning about different scents even more enjoyable. The studio was also easy to find, with a cozy and relaxing ambiance that fit perfectly with the activity. There’s even a shop downstairs with beautiful perfume extracts — a nice touch if you want to take home something extra. Overall, it was a fun, creative, and relaxing workshop — highly recommended for anyone visiting Ho Chi Minh who wants to try something unique!

I am not very good at English, but the instructor was very kind and easy to understand and gave me a fun explanation. I participated with my mother, but I can get more happiness than the price. I had a very meaningful time with the people living there who participated together. This is an experience that you should definitely put into your trip.
