A perfume based on your personality? This DIY fragrance house in Singapore offers it
There are many Do-It-Yourself perfume houses around the world where you get to pick your preferences regarding how you want your perfume to be.
Usually, these DIY perfume activities give you the freedom to choose the scent of a perfume’s top notes (scent’s initial smell), heart notes (scent’s center), and body notes (scent’s theme).
Apart from these three categories, there are other things you need to factor in when crafting your DIY perfume, making the activity a little too technical for beginners.
Veering away from all the technicalities, Scentopia, a DIY fragrance house in Sentosa Island, Singapore, is revolutionizing the perfume game by offering a perfume-making activity based on your personality. Yup, no top, heart, or base notes to consider, only your personality.
The first step is to take a personality quiz, which presents a set of questions such as, “What is your idea of a perfect Sunday night?” or “What is your attitude towards moisturizer?”
After you finish the perfume personality assessment, you’ll get results that will categorize your preferences into citrus, fresh, floral, woody or oriental fragrance profiles.
Once you know the categories of your perfume profile, you will be free to choose among the aroma oils from each category that align with your smell preferences.
The activity doesn’t end in crafting your unique perfume formula. You will also be the one to personally mix your chosen aroma oils into your Scentopia bottle, which you can engrave with your name (or other words you prefer) for added personalization.
If perfume isn’t your cup of tea, you can also customize room fragrances, reed diffusers, bath oil, or scented candles at Scentopia. Basically, you can craft anything related to arousing the sense of smell.
You can book your DIY perfume experience at Scentopia through Klook for P3,363 for a 50ml perfume and P4,425 for a 100ml perfume.
While you’re in Sentosa, you might also want to check out the island’s newest attraction, the Sensoryscape, which encourages tourists and locals to walk more and immerse themselves in a multi-sensory experience through its six sensory gardens. —JCB, GMA Integrated News
