NOTE – The Scent Lab

NOTE – The Scent Lab is a contemporary fragrance workshop established in 2019, operating locations in Ho Chi Minh City (Districts 1 and 2) and Hanoi's Lotte Mall. The core offering is an interactive 90-120 minute workshop where participants create bespoke fragrances. The experience begins with a personality test to determine ideal scent profiles, followed by guided education on fragrance structure (top, middle, base notes). Participants then blend from over 30 IFRA-certified fragrance materials under expert perfumer instruction, bottling their creation in sizes ranging from 10ml to 50ml ($24-$64). Ingredients meet IFRA standards with 15-20% Eau de Parfum concentration, yielding fragrances lasting up to 8 hours per spray. Customer formulas are recorded and can be reordered later. NOTE has served over 8,000 participants since opening, maintaining 4.9-5.0 star ratings. The workshop accepts ages 8+, welcoming both experienced fragrance enthusiasts and first-time users.
