Our Visit
Aroma Forest Sangam Branch is located in front of the MEGABOX ticket booth on the first floor of the Seoul Olympic Stadium. Not only are there movie theaters on the first floor, but there are also arcades and cafes, so it would be perfect for an indoor date!
There are plenty of perfumes on the outside that you can test out!
Since the Aroma Forest Sangam Branch is located next to the movie theater, passersby stop and test out the perfumes and even buy them on site right away! Even if you don't make your own perfume, you can buy high-quality perfume at a very affordable price here!
If the perfume outside is for testing, the bottles inside are for making your perfume. We used the scents on the inside.
Now let's go into the details of making your own bottle of perfume!
First off, you test out the scents displayed on the outside of the store.
On a piece of paper on the table, there is a description of each perfume numbered. Even if you can't read Korean, they have the scent category written in English so you can get the gist of what type of scent it is.
On the table is a jar of coffee beans. It is used for sniffing in between testing scents in case you have a headache or just need a refresher.
Aroma Sangam Branch recommends that you smell as many scents as you can and think deeply about it, so you can take your time t slowly find which scents you like!
I tested each scent one by one on the test paper according to the instructions of the perfumer and wrote down the number of perfumes and the scores for each perfume on the paper!
The number below is the perfume number, and the number above is the score for each perfume. It was nice to record it like this because it didn't get confusing no matter how many perfumes I tried! And later, after some time, I smelled the scent and scored again, so I was able to choose a perfume that I really liked.
After choosing two of the scents I liked most, we moved to the table in the back to put it together.
First, you pick your bottle. The perfumer instructs you to do everything by yourself from opening up the lid of the bottle.
Next, put the bottle on the scale and press the button so the weight goes to zero.
Now add each perfume 1g at a time and smell in between to find the perfect ratio. When the ratio is found, scale it up and fill the rest of the bottle.
*Note: When you put the scents into your empty bottle, be careful as the perfume can become contaminated when the spout touches anything including the empty bottle.
Aroma Forest is said to make perfume by filling 20% of the aroma scents and that is why it lasts longer and smells stronger than any other perfumes!
When you are done putting in your perfume, fill the remaining 80% with alcohol. This alcohol is also 99% pure ethanol so it helps spread the scent well!
After that, you can color the perfume with your chosen color. I chose green to give it a refreshing look!
Last but not least, you decorate the bottle with stickers! This step is only available in Aroma Forest Sangam Branch, and I'm glad I came to this branch because I had so much fun! There are so many options to choose from. Carefully take them off the film with tweezers and finish off your bottle!
Voila! The completed product! What do you think? The green perfume is the one I made and my friend made the other one. Which do you think looks better? I felt proud that I made my own perfume by choosing and producing everything from beginning to end. I recommend that you come here and also have a good time!
The pink bottle in the picture above is 50ml and the smaller one is 30ml.
If you reserve on Creatrip and make a 50ml bottle, you get a complimentary portable perfume or car diffuser.
I made a 30ml bottle but was so satisfied that I thought I should've made a 50ml bottle.
