At NOTE – The Scent Lab perfume workshop, scents are so much more than that. They are stories, deep connections to local culture and a journey of storytelling. If Vietnam is on your travel list, a perfume workshop is definitely a must-have for a complete experience.
Discover Vietnamese Craftsmanship on a Global Scale
Vietnam’s craftsmanship industry is gaining recognition gradually and globally. Referring to craftmanship, you can immediately think of ceramics, textiles, or even the art of meticulous and sharp embroidery.

Apart from the usual aspects of craftsmanship specialties, people often do not pay attention to scent and perfumery – one of many extraordinary aspects.
Perfume is more than just a scent. At NOTE – we believe that scents tell stories. Perhaps, scents will guide your way no matter you’re an artisan with years of experience or simply a person with a unique need to create fragrances.
Having a hand-crafted perfume
More than an experience, making a hand-crafted perfume is a process of testing and gradual discovery. Moreover, smelling is a stage of learning about local culture and even understanding yourself.
Combined with the art of craftsmanship, perfume preparation is no longer a challenge. It is worth an experience when visiting Vietnam and having your own scent.

A Perfect and Unique Souvenir - Perfume workshop
One of many top priorities when traveling is bringing home the iconic and distinguished gifts. Normally, visitors will pay attention to dozens of ordinary gifts, such as specialties, costumes, accessories. However, have you ever imagined having a special touch – Vietnam in a perfume bottle?

NOTE’s perfume workshop will bring a new experience in creating a unique scent by yourself. Specifically, you will be instructed to design your own scent by NOTE’s experts. This helps ensuring the final outcome that definitely satisfy your expectations.

Experience Vietnam-Inspired Scents
Scent is always evocative, especially when it represents a place, an experience or a memory. We believe that images are not the only way to preserve your moments. Let scents help you encapsulate your experience in Vietnam through olfactory memories.
You can completely discover scents that represent the spirit and culture of Vietnam. For instance, the pure fragrance of lotus flowers or even the typical scent of cinnamon. Generally, these scents are more than just pleasing aromas; they are olfactory representations of the country’s identity.
