Why it is on this site
  • You make your own scent and leave with a bottle and a spare travel bottle; materials, tea and coffee are included.
  • The studio sits in a quiet area with pottery studios, herbalists and cane-juice stands within walking distance, and it hands out its own map.
  • It is private, and seven reviews are all five stars.
Best for

Passengers who have seen Kabira before and want a hands-on keepsake instead of another viewpoint.

Think twice if

There is no pickup: the studio is about 25 minutes by taxi from the city centre and the record says buses are very few, so budget a taxi both ways from the quay. Seven reviews is a thin record, and the description is about the neighbourhood rather than the workshop itself.
