About this tour

Your guide, a practising artisan with over ten years' experience, walks you through fragrance composition using quality Vietnamese-sourced essences. You'll leave with a 10ml or 30ml bottle of the perfume you've created, plus the knowledge to understand how scent layering works.

What to expect
You'll arrive at the studio and begin by exploring the range of scent notes available—florals, woods, citruses, and more. The perfumer explains the basics of fragrance structure and shows you how top, middle, and base notes interact. Then you'll experiment with combinations, testing blends on paper strips and adjusting ratios until you've crafted something you're happy with. Once you've settled on your mix, you'll measure it into your bottle, cap it, and design a label. The whole process takes around two hours and requires no prior experience.
