Make the perfume! - I had so much fun at this class. The museum itself was fine, but what really made the cost of admission worth it was the perfume making class. The class does a good job in taking a complex process and boiling it down to a few key steps. If you need English, they will give you a booklet that is very clear and easy to follow. I loved the scent I made and I’m excited to see how it settles after a little more time. A unique and fun experience!

Make Your Own Custom Perfume! - This was an impressively curated perfume museum. I enjoyed the history of fragrances and especially the scent samples that were throughout the museum. The display of different perfume bottles could be in an art museum. There were many signs in English so I felt I was able to appreciate most of the exhibits. The absolute highlight was being able to make your own custom perfume! It was very well organized and I wish I could go back and do more for gifts, it was such a neat and special experience.

Make your favorite perfume in just 1 hour! - I found this place while searching online for places to kill time around Beppu Onsen. You can learn about the history of perfume, smell the animal and plant-based ingredients that make up perfume, and have fun with your partner. For an additional 2,500 yen on top of the entrance fee, you can mix and match perfumes to create your own favorite perfume.
