Creating my own fragrance with Hetkinen was a truly special experience, and I couldn’t be happier with the result.

What fascinates me most is how beautifully the scent evolves on my skin. It opens with a wonderful combination of wild berries and dry, slightly herbal greenery, evoking the atmosphere of a northern forest. Gradually, the fragrance becomes deeper and more mysterious, revealing woody, coniferous notes with a delicate touch of smoke.

As the hours pass, soft violet and blackcurrant begin to emerge again, creating a beautiful contrast between the fruity, floral and smoky elements. Every stage of its development feels like a different chapter of the same story.

The longevity is absolutely impressive, and I particularly appreciate how distinctive and personal the fragrance feels. It is neither an ordinary fruity perfume nor a conventional woody scent, but something far more atmospheric and evocative.

To me, it feels like carrying a little piece of the Finnish forest wherever I go. Thank you, Hetkinen, for turning my ideas into something so beautiful and unique!

I love the scent, it's so rich and deep. Next time I wouldn't mix so many floral notes with fruity notes, though. IT is sen eau de oarfum, so it is otettu strong and you only need a little bit if it. The Bottas will last for a long time.

Interesting candy sweet composition. I was expecting more of a woody pine blend and was nervous for the note composition. But my wife loves it and I have started to love it too. Realistic blueberry note and the rhubarb grounds it nicely.

Great concept, but needs better guidance, especially for beginners.
The idea of building your own custom perfume is amazing. However, unless you already know how perfume notes interact, it’s quite hard to get the result you want in practice. Knowing you like "sweet", "berry" or "floral" isn't quite enough to create a balanced fragrance. Since you're paying full price upfront, it’s a big gamble to spend that much on a scent you might not end up liking.

It would be a huge help if the process included a visual scent profile or scale ("more earthy," "fruity/berry") showing an approximate preview of your blend after each step. Even better, offering a small sample or tester first with the chance to tweak the formula before committing to the full-sized bottle would justify the cost and make the whole experience so much better!
