[Hongdae] Make your own perfume

#0YenTravelAutumn
I'd like to introduce a customized perfume shop I recently discovered.
It's located on the second floor of a building, straight ahead from Hongik University Station Exit 3.
The shop is very quiet.
This shop requires reservations, and I made my reservation through Naver. A deposit is required upfront, but this isn't possible for foreigners, so I paid on the day.

From the approximately 40 scents available, you choose your first scent based on your mood and favorite scents that day. The staff will then suggest a second scent to add based on your mood and favorite scent. As you check the scents...it's like perfecting your favorite scent.

You create your first perfume combination, and then create a second perfume combination with a different feel.

Finally, you choose your favorite scents from these two combinations, and the staff will blend them to create your perfume.

If you don't understand Korean, they'll translate for you, but at first I was worried about my ability to understand, but the staff were very supportive and I ended up creating my favorite perfume ever.

The course I took was ★B Class (50ml).

It was just over an hour long. But I think the appeal was being able to carefully create a fragrance that I was completely satisfied with.

You'll need to make another reservation to create the same fragrance again. I'll definitely make another reservation when I run out of this scent.
