Perfume workshop in Dunsan-dong, Daejeon: woody unisex scent at Scent

In short

Scent Perfume Workshop is a perfume-making studio on the ground floor of the Sharkzone building on Dunsanjung-ro in Seo-gu, Daejeon. Two perfume-loving sisters filled in a questionnaire, smelled top, middle and base notes, and tested 15-drop samples. They dropped tangerine and made a woody, unisex perfume with a sandalwood, white wood and moss base topped with bergamot. Verdict: the writer found the Scent Perfume Workshop perfume longer-lasting than ones from other workshops and liked it more than the luxury perfumes she owns.

My sister was coming to Daejeon for the first time in a while, so I planned something special.🥳🎶 She and I both love perfume, and we really enjoy making our own scents at workshops. We've been to quite a few, in Seoul and elsewhere, and this time I found a Daejeon perfume workshop that seemed perfect for the two of us. It's Scent Perfume Workshop, on the ground floor of the Sharkzone building in Tanbang-dong~! 🎵 Here's my full story of a one-of-a-kind perfume date in Dunsan-dong, Daejeon.

Perfume-making steps at Scent Perfume Workshop: from questionnaire to smelling the notes

Perfume making at Scent Perfume Workshop starts with choosing a bottle and cap and filling in a preference questionnaire. 🎀 After the introduction, we picked our bottles and caps and filled in the questionnaire. 🧡

Preference questionnaire filled in before making perfume

🎀 The questionnaire checks which mood and which fragrance family you like. 🎵 I chose a unisex feel and a sensual feel, and for fragrance families I picked forest and woody.

How to choose your perfume notes

  • Split the scent into three stages, Base, Middle and Top, and pick 2–4 styles for each.
  • Write the ingredient name at the end of a scent strip first, dab on a little of the oil, and wave it in the air to smell it.

  • Hold your chosen top, middle and base strips together and smell them as a blend to decide your final combination.

How does the 15-drop sampling test work?

The 1st and 2nd sampling tests at Scent Perfume Workshop use 15 drops in total. 🎀

The ratio is 3 top drops + 8 middle drops + 4 base drops in a mixing capsule. 🎀 Then we closed the lid, gave it a gentle shake, and dabbed it on a scent strip to check the balance. My sister and I are total bloodhounds~! We perked up our noses and savored every single one, haha

Which blend made a woody, unisex perfume?

My final blend is a base of sandalwood, white wood and moss, a middle of linen blossom, magnolia, marine and hanji (traditional Korean paper), and a top of bergamot.

  • Base: sandalwood, white wood, moss
  • Middle: linen blossom, magnolia, marine, hanji
  • Top: bergamot

Actually, I tried adding tangerine to the top in the first round. But instead of the woody, unisex, classy feel I wanted, it came out strongly floral and feminine, so I boldly dropped it 💜🩵🧡

The owner thought through every choice with me and even adjusted the strip ratios carefully, so I got exactly the scent I wanted. 🫶🥳😍 🎵 Last up: the bottle and cap style~! And once the sticker goes on, we're done~!!🧡

How long does a Scent Perfume Workshop perfume last?

The woody perfume I made at Scent Perfume Workshop lasted a long time and got deeper as time went on. I sprayed it on my wrist, and every little movement released a classy, charming scent.

I like it more than any luxury perfume I own. Scents from other workshops often faded fast, but the perfume from Scent Perfume Workshop stayed put and got deeper and classier over time. It lifts my mood all day, so I've been living happy days lately.
