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!

I came by myself to escape the heat and create a perfume I know I will actually enjoy and it was so fun! I had the whole place to myself but it has a great relaxing atmosphere and the video was very easy to follow along. It offers two different ways to select your perfume and you can really take your time with the samples to make sure you make the best choice. Mixing up the samples really satisfied the part of me that loves chemistry too 😂 the lady working was so kind and helpful, it's great value money for the experience and you can take something personal home to actually use. I really recommend it.

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 joined this dance class. Teacher Ana taught with great care, helping us learning more into K-pop dance skills. She is energetic and caring, and gets along wonderfully with the other learners. We hope there will be advanced classes next time for those of us who already know the basics. This experience was so fun and exciting! Thank you😍👏🏻

What to know before visiting Seoul

What to expect in Seoul

Seoul’s most-booked experiences on Klook mix cultural experiences, theme parks and observation decks, with events & shows and massages also showing strong demand. Booking activity rises and falls through the year, with a clear busy spell in late spring and early summer and much quieter demand in late winter.

Best times to visit based on crowds and prices

Klook data shows demand peaks in May and remains high into June and July, while February is among the quietest months. Prices are highest on average in July and drift down through autumn to reach their typical low in October. If you want smaller crowds and lower prices, consider travel in February or October; if you’re after peak-season atmosphere and lots of events, May through July is the busiest period. Prices and demand mostly move together around the summer peak, though October offers lower prices while demand is already reduced.

Tips for travellers from the United States

Most visitors from the United States book experiences about four days ahead, with some last-minute bookings possible a day before travel and earlier planners booking a few weeks out. For travel in the busy May–July period, consider booking earlier within that window to secure preferred dates and times; for winter or October trips you can be more flexible and still find options. Use Klook to compare cultural tours, theme park tickets and observation-deck passes so you can lock in what matters to you without overplanning.
