It was a fun experience. Something different to do in Ho Chi Minh City. You also get to create your own personal scent. Overall well worth it if you have a free morning.

This activity far outweighed our expectations. We didn’t know that so much went into making a perfume. Recommending to anyone who wants to do something different.

AMAZING EXPERIENCE!!!! We loved our perfumes. We were able to even write names for our perfumes and stick them with a sticker onto the bottle. Definitely worth a try if you have time.

What a great souvenir from Vietnam. Your own personal scent. We were asked what your favourite scent was and were given help to either recreate or make a scent from scratch. We started off with a very small sample and were able to tweak it to suit our taste. We then made the full size version. You have the choice of size bottle you can make, we made a 50ml glass spray bottle. We had a small amount which didn’t fit so we were given a small atomiser. We then named our own scent and labeled our bottle. They keep a copy of your fragrance in case you wish to order. Overall a great experience.
