Last updated on January 3, 2019

For couples looking for unique experiences, here’s what’s happening in Seoul just in time for the Valentine’s Day weekend.

1. Blend a custom perfume

Who doesn’t love a personalized gift? Book a custom perfume workshop for two. GN Perfume Studio presents a museum-worthy collection of scents, and they give you enough time to play with it. If you’re not a perfume person, opt to make home fragrances like diffusers and candles.

GN Perfume Studio: 19 Bangbae-ro 42-gil, Bangbae-dong. Other locations in Myungdong and Itaewon; 070-4521-7737. $35 for 30ml, $50 for 50ml bottle.
