Proust, situated in Ikseon-dong, is a unique establishment that combines a scent shop with a tea house. On one side, visitors can enjoy a variety of teas such as royal milk tea and Thai milk tea infused with rose scent. On the other side, guests have the opportunity to create their own perfumes, diffusers, and candles. The shop offers perfume-making workshops where participants can carefully select scents to craft their personalized fragrances.
Was a really unique and cool experience. They were experts at helping us select the right scents, and the location and packaging are beautiful. Would recommend trying out if you’re in Seoul!

This was my first time ever making a perfume. The experience from booking and through making was so clear and easy to follow. The options given and choices were great. I’m so happy with the perfume I’ve made and the one my husband has made also. A great bonding experience and memory from our trip to South Korea.

Highly recommend making your own perfume or dupes here if you have the sample scent. They are amazing and can help you achieve your dupe. The girl that was helping me was so amazingly spot on with everything in the first try. And then I messed it up with the second try and I should have just trusted myself with the first batch. This is the best perfume experience you can find in Seoul. Don’t go anywhere else.

My wife and I had an enchanting experience at Proust. The perfume-making workshop was a delightful journey into the world of scents. The ambiance was charming, and the staff at Proust made the entire process memorable. We crafted our unique fragrances, blending notes like violet, oatmeal musk, aqua flower, lily, and pear. It was not just a workshop; it was a sensory adventure. Proust has truly mastered the art of creating a personalized and aromatic experience. We left with not only our custom perfumes but also beautiful memories. Highly recommended for couples seeking a unique and romantic outing!

Such a great experience. I could never find the right scent for me, this is the perfect way to make my custom scent. The Proust staff were delightful. They explained things well, and made great recommendations on how to tweak the scent to your liking. There were so many options, but they will pick scents according to adjectives of the scent you want to make. Making the process a lot less overwhelming. I’ll definitely come back again to make more signature scents!

Absolutely fascinating process of a first time making perfume. They were patient and informative throughout the process, assisting to create a fragrance towards my own preferences. Ensuring that no scent was too over or underwhelming, and informing when new scents could be added or lessened to better the overall scent. This experience was so calming and would definitely recommend to visit this place for a new experience and create your very own perfume!

Love the ambience of the place. Perfumer is a very quiet and polite woman. You come in and give her your goal scent and she gives you a recommendation based on the couple of scents you chose, after mixing if you're not satisfied she gives you recommendations on what to add on to maybe get you closer to your desired scent. Overall a fun experience.

The perfumer, Jisoo, is very knowledgeable in recommending the right notes based on your preferences & would patiently guide you through the entire process. The space & the packaging of the perfume you'll be bringing home is also very aesthetically pleasing. Overall, a very good experience & would highly recommend ✨

This is 100% not the type of activity I’d ever choose, but for New Year’s Day, my wife wanted to try it. It was legitimately a good time. We had the place to ourselves and got to experiment with the different scents. Well worth the cost and any reluctance to coming here. Highly recommend as a romantic experience with your wife, girlfriend, etc. 🤙🏼

It was a lovely experience trying out different scents to find a scent I love. I was pleasantly surprised by the amount of variety I could choose from, the types of scents - eg cactus smells etc. I did a perfume workshop in France and I must say that this one was way better in terms of final results and process

Booked a perfume making workshop with Proust at a friend’s recommendation. If you don’t have a Naver account, you can message them via Instagram to book an appointment. The staff is very helpful and accommodating.During the workshop, the staff was very patient and ensured that I take time to really pick the scents that I like. I was able to find my scent in my 1st try! The shop is also very neatly kept.If you are in Seoul, please look them up and book an appointment in searching for your lost scent.
