Unique and delightful souvenir
Such a unique experience! You are able to choose 2-3 scents to combine into your final fragrance, and the staff provide guidance on blending scents and make the experience feel special. You’re able to customize the bottle (scent name, font, nozzle color), and they also can bubble wrap the glass bottle for you when they package the finished bottle in a cloth pouch. Ms. Matsumoto was kind and helpful :)

Bring The Scents of Kyoto Home With You
Creating your own fragrance here was an amazing experience. Miura was an absolutely excellent host who helped us design our scents from base to accents. They came out better than we could have hoped for and look forward to wearing them.

Citrus Blue
Had a great time customizing my own fragrance, Nishio helped us formulate to our own tastes and the experience was easier than expected.

WE LOVE SAKUMA
Sakuma was the sweetest person ever! She was so patient and KNEW EVERYTHING about the oils and scents. I loved making a fragrance with her would do it again.

Custom Fragrance
This was a fun experience for the whole family, discovering the scents that awaken our senses. A very worthwhile experience and totally recommended.
Response from the operator: Thank you for visiting us today😊 We're so glad you enjoyed your experience. Are you using the fragrance? We'd be delighted if it reminds you of Kyoto every time you use it. We look forward to seeing you again soon♪

Why this scores 59
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Specializing in custom made fragrances from Kyoto: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Kyoto.
How much does Specializing in custom made fragrances from Kyoto cost?
+
Prices start at $52 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Kyoto usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Specializing in custom made fragrances from Kyoto take?
+
Plan for about 0.5 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 Kyoto is not rushed.
Is Specializing in custom made fragrances from Kyoto worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 59 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 9 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Kyoto, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Specializing in custom made fragrances from Kyoto?
+
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 Specializing in custom made fragrances from Kyoto suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 0.5-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Specializing in custom made fragrances from Kyoto?
+
Around 3 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 Kyoto 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 Kyoto and add a light layer if any part of the 0.5-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Specializing in custom made fragrances from Kyoto 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 Kyoto 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 Kyoto?
+
On Outty we rank every Kyoto experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Kyoto : Chopsticks Making Workshop with Engraving Option in Gion, Kyoto: Gion Hidden Gems & Geisha Culture Tour, Fushimi Inari Hidden Hiking Tour (Private Option Available). 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 Kyoto?
+
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 Kyoto?
+
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.
What is included in Specializing in custom made fragrances from Kyoto?
+
Included: Exclusive fragrance creation by advisor, sales tax. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.
Where is the meeting point for Specializing in custom made fragrances from Kyoto?
+

What languages is Specializing in custom made fragrances from Kyoto offered in?
+
It is offered in Chinese and English. Pick your language when choosing a date and time, as not every departure runs in every language.
Will I get instant confirmation and a mobile ticket for Specializing in custom made fragrances from Kyoto?
+
