Perfume Crafting Masterclass & Vung Tau Artisan Workshop

Blend your own signature Vietnamese perfume under the guidance of a master perfumer, using rare local botanicals — agarwood, lotus, frangipani — and take home a bespoke fragrance as the most personal souvenir of Vietnam.

What to expect

Just 30 minutes from the pier, this immersive workshop is led by a Vietnamese master perfumer who introduces you to the aromatic building-blocks of Southeast Asian scent — smoky agarwood, delicate lotus absolute, ylang-ylang, and Vietnamese rose. You'll trial dozens of raw ingredients, learn the art of top-heart-base construction, and blend a bespoke 30 ml eau de parfum. The experience concludes with a gift-wrapped presentation set — perfect as a luxury keepsake or a gift. Champagne or Vietnamese tea is served throughout.
