Description
Create your own signature Eau de Parfum and scented candles in a workshop in Hoi An. Learn the art of perfumery, essential oil blending, and scent layering with expert guidance.
Step into a charming, sunlit workshop in the heart of Hoi An’s ancient town. Be guided by local artisans through every meticulous step of creating your own luxurious scented products.
Begin by exploring over 30 types of 100% pure essential oils sourced from around the world, including enchanting Bulgarian Rose, soothing Provence Lavender, mysterious Indian Jasmine, vibrant Bergamot, warm Sandalwood, and many other rare and precious essences.
With expert assistance, craft your own signature Eau de Parfum (EDP) in a 10ml luxury bottle, carefully balancing top, middle, and base notes to create a unique, long-lasting fragrance that reflects your individual personality and story, with a scent that can linger beautifully for 8–10 hours.
Or, learn the art of handmade candle making using premium organic soy wax, eco-friendly cotton wicks, and custom-designed molds inspired by Hoi An’s iconic symbols — such as traditional lanterns, ancient tiled roofs, and the historic Japanese Covered Bridge — to create 2 to 3 luxurious scented candles, each burning cleanly for 25–30 hours while gently releasing your chosen fragrance throughout your home.
Beyond the hands-on creation, gain valuable knowledge about the science and art of perfumery, essential oil blending techniques, scent layering, and proper care methods so you can continue creating at home.
