$26 PERFUME BALM WORKSHOP IN JB

I recently attended the solid perfume balm workshop at Work in Progress Studio in Johor Bahru, and it was an unexpectedly delightful experience! More than just making a simple perfume, the workshop offers a hands-on chance to fully personalize your creation. Starting with the selection of the perfume case, you can pick fun shapes like hearts or circles with various pastel and metallic finishes, which makes your balm look super cute. Then comes the best part—choosing your scents. There is a broad selection of essential oils such as wood sage, sea gardenia, and white tea. You’re allowed to pick three and even decide the intensity by adjusting the number of droplets for each scent. This level of customization ensures your perfume is truly personal. The mixing process itself is quick and guided by the staff, who help you combine beeswax, shea butter, jojoba oil, and your chosen essential oils to create the balm. I found this part fascinating, as it felt like a mini chemistry session! One unique aspect of this workshop is the token system you use to accessorize your perfume case and keychain. With six tokens, you can redeem several cute accessories like key rings, fabric hooks, and even quirky items like tiny mirrors or tamagotchi charms. The variety is impressive, and honestly, you might find it hard to pick just a few! The keychain crafting portion allows unlimited bead choices, which means you can design a completely unique accessory to go with your perfume balm. Adding stickers with tweezers, such as stars, butterflies, or letters, caps off the experience and adds a personal touch. The workshop is priced at RM80, which I think is very reasonable considering the amount of customization and fun you get. It’s perfect for groups of friends looking for an engaging activity in JB that mixes creativity, craftsmanship, and a little science. Aside from the solid perfume balm, the studio offers other creative workshops like moru moru dolls and ring making, so there’s plenty more to explore if you enjoy artsy crafting sessions. The studio’s location in Eco Palladium is easy to find and adds to the cozy, welcoming vibe. Overall, this workshop is a fantastic way to spend a relaxing afternoon with friends while making something both beautiful and practical. If you’re ever in Johor Bahru and want to try something different, I highly recommend checking this out!
