Build Your Own Scent Workshop
This workshop invites participants to explore perfume not just as a product, but as a multi-layered sensory experience shaped by history, culture, and memory. We begin with a short introduction to scent culture, diving into the historical evolution of perfumery and the fundamentals of fragrance notes. From there, participants will experience a curated palette of essences, guided by their senses to craft their own unique scent compositions. In the hands-on part of the workshop, each participant will create their personal formula and bottle their own 30 ml perfume—leaving with a tangible memory of the experience

BYO Scent Workshop Instructor
Hello! I’m Gamze, the founder of Cru Organics, a natural cosmetics brand born from my passion for scent, formulation, and sensory experiences. My journey began with a deep curiosity about how scents shape our emotions, memories, and everyday rituals. As an industrial engineer, I combine analytical thinking with creativity to design natural cosmetic products and develop unique scent experiences. Through Cru Organics, I create natural cosmetic formulations and organize perfume and scent-focused workshops. I also provide trainings in Türkiye on cosmetic regulations, product development processes, and labeling, sharing my knowledge with those who want to explore this field more deeply. For me, workshops are not only about creating a product. They are about discovering the historical, cultural, and emotional layers of scent, connecting with our senses, and experiencing the joy of creating something with our own hands. Being able to share this journey with others and watch people discover their own scent stories is one of the most inspiring parts of what I do.
