Fullora Charm Parqal Mall DIY Perfume

<p>Perfumes have been having a moment for the past year or so. We&#x27;ve seen luxury fragrances rise in popularity, while smaller indie brands flourish likewise. Some even travel to cities like Seoul to discover new niche perfume brands that are popping up in trendy spots like Seongsu. It&#x27;s also no secret that fragheads have been having a moment in TikTok-verse. All this to say: Perfumes are where it&#x27;s at.</p><p>Enter: <strong>DIY perfume-making.</strong></p><p>Recently, Metro had the chance to make perfumes from scratch at <a href="https://www.instagram.com/fulloracharm" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><strong>Fullora Charm</strong></a>, a chic space in Parqal Mall in Paranaque. We loved the idea of being able to play scientist and mix different notes to create our own unique scent, so we headed straight for the boutique and got our hands busy!</p><div><br/></div><div><span class="fr-img-caption fr-fic fr-dib fr-rounded" style="width:700px;display:block" width="700"><span class="fr-img-wrap"><img src="https://od2-image-api.abs-cbn.com/prod/editorImage/1773739316235Fullora Charm 1.jpg" style="width:700px" class="fr-fic fr-dib fr-rounded" width="700"/><span class="fr-inner">Fullora Charm, 2nd floor, Parqal Mall</span></span></span></div><p>Fragrances are meant to be personal. That&#x27;s why sometimes, despite having a signature scent you like to wear for years now, it&#x27;s still a great idea to try your hand at creating your own. At Fullora Charm, the DIY process isn&#x27;t technical. It&#x27;s more of a preference-based activity wherein the staff assists you in exploring notes and mixing them together. Don&#x27;t expect a masterclass in perfume making, though, as it&#x27;s purely for entertainment and creativity purposes here.</p><div><br/></div><div><span class="fr-img-caption fr-fic fr-dib fr-rounded" style="width:700px;display:block" width="700"><span class="fr-img-wrap"><img src="https://od2-image-api.abs-cbn.com/prod/editorImage/1773740772401Fullora Charm 2.jpg" style="width:700px" class="fr-fic fr-dib fr-rounded" width="700"/><span class="fr-inner">The perfume-making setup</span></span></span>We spoke to the owner of Fullora Charm, <strong>Mary Jane Zara</strong>, and asked her about the inspiration behind this really cute business. </div><div><strong><br/></strong></div><div><strong>Metro.Style: What inspired you to put up Fullora Charm?
