A Step-by-Step Perfume-Making Experience in Hongdae
A customer enjoyed Parfum9’s hands-on perfume-making workshop, where staff explained each stage clearly for beginners. They learned how fragrance notes work together and created a perfume they continue to receive compliments on.
Their story
During the workshop, the customer chose a base fragrance, sampled individual notes, and compared blends with step-by-step staff guidance. Despite having no prior perfumery knowledge, they found the process easy to follow and learned about top, middle, and base notes. They were very pleased with their finished perfume and described it as a memorable souvenir from Seoul.
Original review
did the perfume-making workshop at Parfum9 in Hongdae and had such a great time! The staff walked us through everything step by step — choosing a base fragrance, sampling individual notes, comparing blends — and made the whole process really easy to follow, even with zero prior knowledge about perfumery. I learned a ton about top, middle, and base notes, and about how different ingredients work together to build a scent. The best part is that the perfume I ended up creating actually smells incredible — I get compliments on it all the time now. It's such a fun, hands-on experience and a great souvenir to take home from Seoul. Highly recommend it for anyone visiting Hongdae, whether solo, with friends, or as a couple!
