I booked a slot at 9am, I received confirmation, but 45 minutes before the session, several phone calls from the service providers, to move the session pretending to have a personal appointment, which I can understand (but not at the last minute), and in fact it was just to fill their room because there were too few reservations at 9am, we were all happy to come to this workshop, but very disappointed to have to move our appointment when we were already there.

I don’t know from where to start. If you are reading this, then I’m writing this with full honesty. Let’s start with the location of the place, it was a long road that lead us to small beautiful town. We found the coffee shop and it looked small from the outside, but as soon as you enter, you will see how spacious and gorgeous the place is. Mr. Ali was our guide, and he was super nice as well as the other staff. He spoke English well and stayed with us through the entire process of making our perfume. They offer limitless hot drinks and water! As well as their delicious cookies! My fiancé and I were extremely happy with the experience and we would definitely try one of their other 5 activities! Really, don’t miss this opportunity with such a place and kind hosts! Thank you all, and for sure thank you Ali :)
Helpful? Yes
The workshop was pretty interesting and Ali is a very nice host. We received coffee and cookies during the activity. I would suggest some improvements for future workshops regarding the organization. The process involved smelling all the perfumes individually, which was a bit overwhelming. It would have been helpful if the perfumes were grouped into categories (e.g. fresh, sweet, fruity?) to make the experience more structured. Additionally, having some guidance on which combinations work well based on our preferences would have been very beneficial.

L'instructeur était adorable, chaleureux et très compétent. L'activité s'est déroulée en tout petit groupe, donc le parfumeur a pu passer un moment avec chaque participant pour peaufiner la recette de son parfum et apporter des conseils vraiment personnalisés. Le rapport qualité-prix de l'atelier est exceptionnel : c'est à peine le prix d'une bouteille de parfum seul en France. La terrasse où est organisée l'activité est un lieu idyllique et très calme, et les boissons offertes pendant l'atelier étaient très appréciables.
