The perfect honeymoon keepsake
My wife Maria and I did the perfume making workshop at NOTE as part of our honeymoon in Ho Chi Minh City and it was one of the highlights of the entire trip. Our guide Annie was absolutely wonderful, knowledgeable, warm, funny, and genuinely passionate about the craft. She walked us through the whole process with such care and enthusiasm that even as complete beginners we felt completely at ease. Maria created a beautiful amber, floral and gourmand scent that we named “Honeymoon” and every time she wears it, it will take us straight back to this city and this trip. That’s the magic of this experience. You don’t just leave with a bottle of perfume, you leave with a memory that has a scent attached to it. The Thảo Điền studio is a gorgeous space, calm, creative and beautifully designed. The whole session felt intimate and personal rather than touristy. We couldn’t recommend Annie and the NOTE team more highly. If you’re visiting Saigon, especially for a special occasion, do not skip this. Book ahead as it fills up fast.

Why this scores 67
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Perfume Making Workshop Thao Dien HCMC: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Ho Chi Minh City.
How much does Perfume Making Workshop Thao Dien HCMC cost?
+
Prices start at $19 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Ho Chi Minh City usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Perfume Making Workshop Thao Dien HCMC take?
+
Plan for about 1.5 hours 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 Ho Chi Minh City is not rushed.
Is Perfume Making Workshop Thao Dien HCMC worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 67 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 28 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Ho Chi Minh City, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Perfume Making Workshop Thao Dien HCMC?
+
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 Perfume Making Workshop Thao Dien HCMC suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 1.5-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Perfume Making Workshop Thao Dien HCMC?
+
Around 10 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 Ho Chi Minh City 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 Ho Chi Minh City and add a light layer if any part of the 1.5-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Perfume Making Workshop Thao Dien HCMC 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 Ho Chi Minh City 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 Ho Chi Minh City?
+
On Outty we rank every Ho Chi Minh City experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Adventure Cu Chi Tunnels and Mekong Delta Tour From HCM, Cu Chi Tunnels Small-Group Tour: Vietnam War Underground Network, Cu Chi underground tour - Learn Vietnam war with others. 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 Ho Chi Minh City?
+
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 Ho Chi Minh City?
+
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.
