Craft a personal fragrance at Musee de Parfum in Seongsan, Jeju. This hour-long class pairs a docent-led exhibition of vintage scents with a hands-on 30 ml perfume-making session amid mandarin groves.

A cool sea breeze pushes through the mandarin groves beside the museum as you step into a sunlit room lined with vintage bottles—each label a small biography of scent. The Musee de Parfum in Seongsan, Jeju, sits at the island’s eastern edge where volcanic soil and ocean air shape aromatics differently than on the mainland; here, the experience pairs a compact exhibition of 20th-century classics with a hands-on perfume workshop.
