An amazing time!
First, I must say the host/teacher was so accommodating. My friend was sick and unable to make the original booking time. We were able to reschedule with no problem. While we were there, we were promptly greeted and seated. He taught us about Parfum scents and their layers. He guided us to make the best scent for both of us! I’ve made perfume before but this experience was different because we had the opportunity to pour the droplets into our perfume bottle. Other experiences don’t offer this step, it is done automatically. We also received a body and room spray service! I was so happy. I highly recommend this experience :)

Great Unique Experience
This was an amazing experience. Jae was an excellent host. He has so much knowledge about perfumes. He walked me through the difference between eau de cologne, eau de toilet and eau de perfume. He has a large selection of top, middle and last notes to choose from. I loved the way my perfume turned out. Definitely recommend!

Awesome !
A wonderful experience creating your own perfume! The owner is very kind and explains everything clearly. The place is elegant, refined, and has a very peaceful, Zen atmosphere. A truly lovely experience!

Why this scores 63
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Create Your Custom Perfume at Parfum 9 in Hongdae: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Seoul.
How much does Create Your Custom Perfume at Parfum 9 in Hongdae cost?
+
Prices start at $45000 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Seoul usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Create Your Custom Perfume at Parfum 9 in Hongdae take?
+
Plan for about 1 hour from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Seoul is not rushed.
Is Create Your Custom Perfume at Parfum 9 in Hongdae worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 63 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 25 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Seoul, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Create Your Custom Perfume at Parfum 9 in Hongdae?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Create Your Custom Perfume at Parfum 9 in Hongdae suitable for kids and families?
+
The operator sets a minimum age of 7. Older children generally do well here, and families should factor in the 1-hour running time when deciding.
How far in advance should I book Create Your Custom Perfume at Parfum 9 in Hongdae?
+
Around 9 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Seoul can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Seoul and add a light layer if any part of the 1-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Create Your Custom Perfume at Parfum 9 in Hongdae start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Seoul within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Seoul?
+
On Outty we rank every Seoul experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include DMZ Tour: Defector Q&A, Tunnel & Suspension Bridge /Hotel pick up, Best DMZ Tour Seoul: Defector Q&A, 3rd Tunnel & Suspension Bridge, 2026 Travelers’ Choice Best of the Best: DMZ Tour from Seoul. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Seoul?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Seoul?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
