Perfume Making in Seoul

Signature A makes a first session feel more manageable if you want explanations and several chances to blend. Fever lists professional instructor guidance and up to six blending attempts. It is a good first experience if you want to explore your preferences by changing combinations instead of committing to your first blend.

Signature A uses 30 fragrance materials to make 50ml and takes about an hour. The listed price for one person at 13:00 on 10 October was ₩35,000. Premium B uses 36 fragrance materials but produces the same 50ml, so distinguish it from an upgrade to a larger bottle when choosing.

Aromind is worth considering if you want to take home both a main bottle and a small sample. The standard class includes a 50ml bottle, a 10ml sample, a box and a shopping bag. You work with a perfumer, making this a good choice if you want explanations while choosing your own scents.

The official rate is ₩50,000 per person, and the class lasts 60–90 minutes. Groups have a maximum of 8 people, and you may share the session with other bookings. Choose it when what you take home matters more than having a session just for your own group.

Consider the 30ml class at Be Light Candle & Perfume Studio if you want a small perfume bottle with your own message. With a professional perfumer's guidance, you build a scent from 80 fragrance materials, then finish with printed text and packaging. It suits those who care about the finished presentation as well as their first experience of blending.

The approximately one-hour class costs ₩60,000 for 30ml, with a 50ml option listed at ₩70,000. It combines guidance from a perfumer with a printed message and packaging.

Meomum Seongsu suits those who want to work independently with a video and guidebook. You explore 54 fragrance materials and adjust the ratios over three rounds of sample making. It is a good choice if you would rather discover your preferences through blending than listen to explanations throughout a class.

The host describes an experience lasting about an hour, after which you take home your finished 50ml eau de parfum with packaging. Airbnb displayed ₩49,000 when selecting one adult at 12:00 on 10 October. Choose it if you want an independent session with both the main bottle and packaging included.

Dot Note Seongsu describes a process where you make perfume independently, without perfumer intervention. You explore fragrance families, smell pre-blended samples, then select your materials. If starting with unfamiliar fragrance names feels daunting, those ready-made blends give you a reference point.

You choose from 60 fragrance materials, make samples in three stages and finish with 50ml. You also add a label with the perfume's name, creation date and characteristics. The experience takes 60–90 minutes, making it a good choice if you want to spend time selecting scents and making samples rather than finish quickly.

Consider Maison Lillian Seongsu's MBTI Couture class if you need a starting point for choosing a scent. The program builds fragrances around 16 personality types researched by a perfumer. It suits readers who want to begin with the familiar theme of personality types.

In the base class, you spend an hour designing one fragrance type using 51 main fragrance materials. The EDT 50ml option costs ₩37,000 and includes packaging, a shopping bag, a blending recipe and a label. For an extra ₩10,000, you can choose a 90-minute session using 102 materials, including supplementary fragrance materials, to design two fragrance types.

Scent Wiki stands out if you want a lasting keepsake with a message engraved on the bottle. The private experience listed on Evendo uses over 70 fragrance materials and adds engraving to a 30ml bottle. A shopping bag printed with a message is also included, making it a good choice if you want to personalize both the bottle and its packaging.

The experience is listed as lasting 2 hours. The displayed price for one adult at 14:00 on 10 October was US$95. It suits a day when you can give fragrance making and the finished piece plenty of time, rather than fit a session into a short gap. As the overseas seller charges in dollars, the amount billed in won varies with exchange rates and card fees.
