Discover the trade secrets of perfumes during a guided tour of the Fragonard Perfume Museum in Paris.
Become the creator of your own Eau de Toilette in attending the "Flower of the Year" olfactory workshop.
We invite you to unveil the history, the origin, the culture of this special flower and the way it is used in perfumery. A moment of development of sensory and olfactory memory with the explanation of the olfactory pyramid, the recognition of 3 blended pre-compositions that enter into the Flower of the Year eau de toilette. During the 20 minutes workshop, you will create and customize, following the guidance of our teacher, your own Eau de Toilette (12 ml in spray) based on the 3 pre-composed notes of the year.
After (or before) the workshop, immerse yourself in a truly French art-de-vivre with a unique olfactory journey to the Fragonard Perfume Museum in Paris, located right next door to the Opera Garnier. The perfect opportunity to discover an ancient private mansion that houses a unique collection of old fragrance bottles.
Immersed in a Second Empire atmosphere, visitors wander through a timeless space and traverse three thousand years of history. Know-how of Grasse vanished raw materials, ancient fragrant objects, the museum is a perfumer’s laboratory. The second part of the museum exhibits ancient artistic objects and exploits of goldsmithery. Unusual, rare, and beautiful bottles from the Pharaohs to Fabergé are unique witnesses of social and cultural habits.

Fun and informative
The tour and perfume class were interesting. Our guide was impressively capable, very well informed and quite a talented linguist. Although I was eager to create my own personalized scent, I discovered that the group was limited on the type of perfume that we could create. We all ended up concocting a version of this year's citrus-based scent. I purchased five various perfume scents and also am in possession of the cologne we fabricated in the class. I am a bit disappointed because it seems that the perfume does not have the staying power on the skin (compared to the ones I purchased years before when I visited the Fragonard perfume house). I currently have a cold, so perhaps that is what the problem is, but the scent seemed to disappear after a few hours, whereas the ones I purchased from my first visit in 1995 (of which I still own two bottles) are as potent today as they were 30 years ago. This alone is a glowing testament to the Fragonard brand. My aim is to test the product over the next few weeks, and if my nose is the problem, I will definitely be back since the fleur d'orange perfume is fantastic and I definitely feel as if I can not live without a larger bottle.
A surprisingly perfect afternoon
My friend and I spent a week in Paris and happened upon this perfume workshop when looking for idea of rainy day things to do online. I'm not sure what I expected initally, but I was pleasantly surprised! We learned a lot about making perfume and the history behind it, something I hadn't been interested in but am now super curious about. The experience of being there was so wonderful, and our little bottle that we made was our favourite souvenir of the trip. I highly recommend it and would do it again!
Totally worth the time and money!
Our guide was phenomenal. She was so knowledgeable and we learned a lot in a fun manner.
