• 5/5 from Helaman Scanlan, attended Feb 2026: Everyone was super friendly. Teachers were great! Teachers were very helpful and easygoing.
• 5/5 from Maurice S Lai, attended Jan 2026: Very extensive collection of scents and very knowledgable teacher.
• 5/5 from Gloria Chan, attended Dec 2025: Highly recommend this class to anyone who’s interested in beauty/ perfume making. It’s a very fun class!! The instructor Cem is very knowledgeable, friendly and helpful! I love the fragrance I made and I would definitely do it again!
• 5/5 from Edgardo Segovia, attended Oct 2025: Amazing class, what an experience. Was able to create a beautiful fragrance and feel confident I can make more at home.
• 5/5 from Brett Daly, attended Oct 2025: I have to say this was a massive surprise. Not the fact it was a gift but just how in depth the amount of base scents were but also how knowledgeable my teacher Semra was. Through all stages of building fragrance she was patient and gave advice without pushing her own agenda. The result.. something I was proud to take home. This experience was well worth it!
• 5/5 from Priscilla Poernomo, attended Oct 2025: Love the class and the teacher!!
• 5/5 from Cornelius Viljoen, attended Sep 2025: We had the most wonderful experience creating our own custom perfumes for my partner’s birthday! The session was fun, creative, and made so special by our teacher, who was not only incredibly knowledgeable but also warm and friendly. She guided us through each step with such passion and expertise, making the process easy to understand and so enjoyable. We left with unique fragrances that truly felt like “us”, and beautiful memories to match. Highly recommended for anyone looking for a meaningful and joyful experience!
• 5/5 from Nathan Williams, attended Jun 2025: Fantastic class. Very helpful teacher and in a wonderful space. Would recommend.
• 2/5 from Lissa McIldowney, attended Jun 2025: Loved the perfume that we made, but we were disappointed in the overall experience. Our first class was cancelled at the last minute with no explanation - very disappointing & inconvenient as we had travelled from the country. The teacher did not respond to calls or texts to reschedule, so we had to contact ClassBento direct. The venue for our rescheduled class was changed a couple of days beforehand & the time was changed to a later start 20 minutes before the class was scheduled to start, again without explanation. We were almost at the venue when we received the SMS so had to wait outside in the cold. The venue was a board room in an office building, so had no ambience. We had to wait while the teacher set everything up, as it hadn't been prepared in advance. There was a great selection of lovely perfume oils to work with, but the teaching seemed a bit muddled & rushed - the oils weren't displayed in the categories of the "perfume wheel" so it was difficult to know which ones would go together. The teacher was also on her mobile phone throughout the class, which felt rude & we generally felt rushed. There was no opportunity to name or create a label for the perfumes we created and they didn't come in a box or gift bag, which was also disappointing. Parking at the changed venue was also difficult & no information was provided in the class information on where to park. Overall - lovely perfume but mediocre experience, with no attention to detail.
• 5/5 from Martene Hosking, attended Mar 2025: ️Lots of fun️ Will be rebooking and trying the Masterclass. Teacher was knowledgeable and very helpful
• 3/5 from Zinab Al-Khaleefa, attended Mar 2025: Overall, I enjoyed the class and the teacher was fairly knowledgable. However, the organisation could have been better. I had trouble reaching out to ask a question, the class was canceled the night before but then scheduled again. The teacher had promised a complimentary 10mL oil roller via text, but since there was only one available in the entire studio, it was given to another guest. She offered to create my scent again and provide the 10mL roller but it was too far to drive just to pick up a small item the next day. The session also felt rushed, which was surprising given that we finished 30min early. There was confusion about the gift card as well, the voucher stated 1x30mL or 4x10mL but the latter was not actually available.
• 5/5 from Polly Poon, attended Feb 2025: Such a wonderful class with a fantastic range of notes and frangrances to experiment with. Gem's knowledge of complimentary scents was phenomenal and so helpful in enabling us to create our own unique bottle of perfume. Polly
• 5/5 from Jason Coleman, attended Feb 2025: Cemile was such an amazing teacher! We had an awesome time creating our own perfumes. Definitely recommend and would definitely come back :))
• 5/5 from Sloane Hanley, attended Jan 2025: My daughter and her friend did the perfume class and loved it. The teacher was very informative and interactive with the two girls. She was very engaging and made the girls feel very comfortable. They were very happy with the perfume they made.
• 5/5 from Lee Archer, attended Jan 2025: This was a really fun and interesting experience. There is an overwhelming array of scents for you to pull together your 'signature scent' and the lovely teacher is there to help you find your 'you' scent. She's passionate about what she does, and very ably managed a small group with very different needs and styles. This was a gift, and I was delighted with it, and will definitely be reordering my scent from now on.
• 5/5 from Brittney Lopes, attended Jan 2025: Was a fun experience, would definitely do it again to try other mixes!
• 5/5 from Peter Jarr, attended Jan 2025: This class was absolutely amazing! We were thrilled to discover that there were far more than the 100 scents mentioned in the description—probably even double that! We'll definitely be returning. Thank you for our scents and to the trainers who really know what they're doing.
• 5/5 from Denise Marinaro, attended Dec 2024: We booked a private event for our team's end of year celebration. We all, including the two males, had such a great time creating our own perfume! Cem was a great teacher, very knowladgeable, gently guiding us through the process of finding our smell and fragrance preferences. Great quality products and an array of choices! We all came away with huge smiles and a buzz from the experience having created our very own fragrance we each loved. Thank you for such a fun afternoon!
• 5/5 from Jenn Vuong, attended Dec 2024: Very informative and interactive workshop, with plenty of time to create your ideal scent! Was also offered tea + a snack during which was very sweet of the teacher!
• 5/5 from Rima Hammoud, attended Dec 2024: Loved the experience, easy to book and was personalised and unique
• 5/5 from Alice Whitfield, attended Dec 2024: Took my partner for his 35th. The greatest birthday idea of all time. The scent i made legit smells better than my Le Labo Santal 33. The scent my partner made is sooooo good too. I am obsessed and will be going back next year to make a new fragrance! 10/10 recommend.
• 4/5 from Briana Peterson, attended Dec 2024: Excellent class with a knowledgeable teacher. Class was well structured and we enjoyed our new perfumes very much.
• 5/5 from Anonymised ClassBento customer, attended Nov 2024: Our class was initially rescheduled but this ended up being a blessing in disguise, as we essentially had a private class for just the 2 of us. The teacher was very knowledgeable about perfumery and quickly understood our scent profiles. She also spent even more time with us than the allocated 2 hours, showing she really cares about her craft and wanted to help us perfect our perfumes. The class was very practical, just enough 'theory' at the start and then hands on for the rest. We both really enjoyed it, learned a lot and are happy with our results which we got to take home!
• 5/5 from Anonymised ClassBento customer, attended Nov 2024: Awesome! Great way to learn about perfume, quite happy with how ours turned out, would definitely go again.
• 2/5 from Kimberly Williamson, attended Nov 2024: This is the second perfume class I have done, different company so I had a certain expectation... Our teacher was welcoming and made us feel comfortable which is always a good thing. We were the only students which makes a big difference but I was disappointed. I felt the class was rushed and a few steps missed which left me feeling unaccomplished with the end result. I would like to recommend this class but after my experience I just can't. To the teacher, please don't rush and give your students the chance to be happy with their creation even if that means starting from scratch again. I tried adding pics but they wouldn't load, sorry.
• 5/5 from Tanya Pascoe, attended Oct 2024: We were there just to learn more about perfume and how it all goes together to create a beautiful smell. We had so much fun smelling and trying to figure out our likes and dislikes. It was a wonderful experience. Would have loved it to go twice as long. I really feel that there is still so much to learn about perfumes.
• 5/5 from Zhe Kwan, attended Oct 2024: Very fun and informative session and had a great instructor. Looking forward to using my perfume!
• 5/5 from Nadisha Sirimane, attended Oct 2024: Teacher was lovely, helpful and supportive. Got to smell all the fragrances and selected one perfume to make. The venue was beautiful and would recommend class.
• 4/5 from Kudzai Amanda Ing, attended Oct 2024: I organised this day as a surprise experience for my cousins 40th and looked forward to creating our signature scents. This experience was amazing and the lead was very knowledgeable of their scents. The only reason I gave it a good and not a great is because I paid for 2 hours but was rushed through the class and dismissed within 1 and a half hours. A reimbursement should be offered because as fun as it was, the end was not great as they rushed to mix everyones fragrances and rush us through the door without properly explaining the process and the elements added. We were also not given an opportunity to ask questions as it appeared the other big group became a priority over us, even though we paid for the full experience. My fragrance is nice but I think given more time could have been better. I even messaged with the lead the night before when they message to have the experience start half an hour earlier because of a big group coming in. I shared how I did not want to be rushed through this experience and that message was left unreplied much to my disappointment on the day.
• 5/5 from Trinity Gurich, attended Aug 2024: We had a fabulous afternoon working with Cem to craft a wedding day scent as part of a small hen’s do. Our workshops was just our group of three which was the perfect experience. Sniffing and mixing all the beautiful essential oils was magic! Cem was a wonderful host and teacher and took time with all of us to make sure we were happy with our final perfumes. ️ Something to note, the scents take 4-8 weeks to mature, so if doing the workshop for a wedding or special event, be sure to keep the timeline in mind! (This was no issue for us, and part of the plan!). Thank you, Cem! It was the perfect afternoon and the bride was elated when we walked away!
• 5/5 from Candle Chan, attended Jul 2024: cem was a great teacher. it was a really nice experience too. would definitely try it again sometime!
• 5/5 from Phillipa Maher, attended Jun 2024: Teacher was great, knowledgable, friendly and it was very fun. I loved what I created.
• 5/5 from Anne M, attended May 2024: I can highly recommend this class. I love the idea of creating a bespoke scent. the teacher was very knowledgeable about fragrances and helped us. Excited for my new scent already. Will be back soon. Thank you to everyone
• 5/5 from Nat Manawadu, attended Apr 2024: Cem was an amazing teacher, such a fun class and it was just my partner and I for her birthday. Loved learning about all the different types of scents.
• 5/5 from Celine Victoria, attended Feb 2024: Absolutely fun, educational and the teacher was very knowledgeable. Good class, I love my perfume bottle too, it’s very pretty
