Yango Group and Oo La Lab hosted an exclusive perfume creation workshop, bringing together 18 leading lifestyle and fashion influencers from across the UAE for a unique sensory experience guided by Yango’s artificial intelligence (AI) assistant, YASMINA.
The event aimed to showcase how AI can enhance creativity and support decision-making in everyday life through an interactive fragrance creation journey. Held at Oo La Lab’s creative workspace in Dubai, the workshop provided guests with an opportunity to explore the art of perfumery while experiencing the practical applications of AI technology firsthand.
The afternoon began with influencers networking and exploring Oo La Lab’s innovative fragrance studio before taking part in the signature perfume-making session. Guided by an Oo La Lab fragrance expert alongside YASMINA, Yango’s AI-powered assistant, participants were invited to create their own personalised scents from a curated selection of fragrance notes.
Throughout the workshop, YASMINA acted as a digital fragrance companion, helping participants navigate scent preferences, discover complementary fragrance combinations, and make informed decisions about their custom creations. The experience demonstrated how AI can simplify complex choices and serve as a valuable assistant in creative and lifestyle settings.
“At Yango Group, we believe technology should seamlessly integrate into everyday experiences, helping people make better decisions while unlocking new possibilities for creativity,” said Yango Group’s Amnah Rizvi.
“This collaboration with Oo La Lab allowed us to demonstrate how AI-powered assistants like YASMINA can support users in engaging, practical, and highly personalized ways,” she added.
The partnership between Yango Group and Oo La Lab aimed to showcase how AI can enhance lifestyle experiences, support personal decision-making, and inspire creativity through meaningful real-world applications.
“Oo La Lab partnered with Yango Group on this initiative; as we strongly believe in the power of scent as a medium to drive genuine connection between people and foster meaningful discussion,” said Natasha Vaughan-Jeremy, Founder of The Luxe Narrative.
Following the workshop, guests enjoyed tea and light refreshments while capturing memories with photographs. To complete the experience, each influencer received their bespoke fragrance bottle engraved with their name, creating a lasting reminder of their AI-assisted perfume creation journey.
As Yango continues to expand its ecosystem of innovative technologies, experiences such as the YASMINA Perfume Workshop aim to reinforce the company’s vision of making advanced technology accessible, intuitive, and relevant to everyday life.
