Fun and fascinating experience. Just long enough to learn the basics of how a perfume is created and walk away with your own signature fragrance. I researched the base notes of my favourite perfumes before I went, but surprised myself because the aromas that attracted me were so different to what I expected! A discounted was offered in the shop after the workshop which was an additional bonus!
It was a super fun experience building our own signature scents!! The ladies running the workshop were incredibly nice, very knowledgeable and fun. So happy we did this. A great change of pace and break from the touristy stuff. And we get to take home some French Perfume! Wonderful souvenir. ♥️
This is an experience anyone who appreciates perfume and cologne should definitely take advantage of. We were greeted with friendly and experienced staff from the moment we walked in until the time we left they succeeded my expectations.
Lots of fun and very informative . Would do it again!People were very helpful and also with how to get through customs at the airport
This was such an amazing experience. I did it with four girlfriends for my 50th birthday and we had such a good time. It was about 1 hour or so and even though there was only one person working in the beginning, she was so sweet and tried to give us all attention and you would never know it. We all walked out with our own perfume, made with sense that we like. It was fun and interactive. I ended up buying a bottle of perfume from the store in the front and I surprisingly got a 20% discount so that was really nice too.. it was probably one of my best experiences on this trip.
Beautiful shop, right in Old Nice. The staff is very knowledgeable, very attentive and helpful with suggestions on how to mix notes in the fragrance. I should have taken the larger package since you get a 50ml+ bottle and access to more premium ingredients and oils. Nice touch being able to order your own creation when you run out. Great experience and would fo it again. I also purchased another fragrance after the workshop.
This was s great experience and the staff was very helpful and polite. I would recommend this experience to friends.
A very nice experience with my husband and daughter, 19 years old. I recommend it. Not a lot of presentation more action and a 45-60 minutes experience, perfect in time for us.
It was not what we expected. Creating the fragrance was enjoyable but we were hoping for some history and background of the company.
This event was better than I expected. I didn’t think that I would be able to distinguish between so many different scents but our hostess was very informative and guided us through every step of the process. We left with our own personal formula and information to order refills. I highly recommend this activity for couples!
This whole experience was amazing starting with the staff who were extremely knowledgeable, helpful and friendly to learning about the various scents and the proportions needed to make a unique perfume that I absolutely LOVE. If in Nice this is a definitely must do experience!
A delightful afternoon spent immersed in scents and learning about blending. Staff very knowledgeable and talked us through each stage. Really looking forward to trying out my scent in a week’s time!
Very fun to make the fragrance + get advice on what notes to add/subtract, however the short session also had far fewer scents to choose from to use, not including popular notes i.e. iris or coffee, and felt far less personalised than the longer session, so would prefer if there was more equality between the fragrances/advice available during the sessions.
I loved my perfume class! I learned a lot and made a scent that I love! Our instructor was very knowledgeable and helped us make perfumes that we loved.
Individualized attention to create your own unique fragrance that you take with you! Staff is very friendly and helpful.
Booked an hour experience to make perfume. Niece really liked it and we got to make nice perfume. The "Museum" part was reeeeaally small. The price was really high.
How fascinating to learn the elements of creating a perfume and making it personal for each person. Our instructor was very knowledgeable and helpful
After spending a week in Nice, my family had toured other perfume factories, bought essential oils in the market, and thought we knew everything there was about making perfume. However, Molinard offered a great history of perfume making complimented with an in house perfumer who was able to help us make a personalized creation. You truly can't beat the value or quality associated with this tour.
Fantastic staff, very friendly and informative. They capture your thoughts and translate it to perfume notes.. would definitely recommend!
I signed up my 16 year old daughter for this and she had such a good time! They explain all the steps into making perfume. She loves the sent she created!
It was easily explained to us what we needed to do and it was very interesting to listen to how the perfumes and the fragrances are mixed and chosen and the ladies were very friendly and efficient
We found it very interesting and informative loved the perfume we created and would recommend it as a lovely experience - something different
Selecting ingredients and mixing our own perfume was a great experience. We did enjoy it. And Ms. Lea was great.
Fantastic experience and loved creating our own fragrance that we can re-order! We had a wide range of fragrances and a nice small group setting.
Such a unique experience. It was interesting and gives you a true appreciation on how much goes into making a perfume. They explain the process well and them it is up to you to pick scents to combine. She offerred alot of help. Once you combine your scent choices, you fill a bottle to take home and your combination is numbered so you can order more if you want later. So glad we did it !
The brief lesson was good information. The exploration was enjoyable if a bit confusing to the nose, smelling so many scents (approx 40) so quickly to determine which ones we liked. Then, the magic of the combinations to get a mix you enjoy & want to personalize. Our concern was our instructor’s time and attention was divided between our group of 4 & another group of 3. The groups should not have overlapped of had two instructors. We were only supposed to be there 45 minutes but it took longer as I had to wait for the recipe to put my perfume together. My friends would have liked more interaction with her also. In the end, she did not escort us to the shop as she was busy. We would not have bought anything for that reason except we had committed to picking up a few items for friends. I had to go ask for service snd we had to wait again before she could complete our transaction as staff was insufficient. When considering that we spent a lot of € between the course and product, we were not happy with the course or service.
My husband and I enjoyed the 45-minute perfume making session. Quite interesting and fun! A unique experience that we would highly recommend.
Well theyvare the oldest perfumers in the world. Had exoected to smell essential oils, learn about sourcing oils, learning more about the process of a perfume. Have done better courses. They dont give ypu to smell anything just a pre mixed formula to make your perfume. Difference between citrus, resins, barks n flower category... just a very very basic course... can do better. They dont even brief about them selves and their history in perfumery.
The ladies were all so kind and very helpful! They made the experience fun and pleasurable. My 12 year old daughter, my mother-in-law and I had a wonderful time!
We weren't quite sure what to expect with this as we had never done anything like it but were pleasantly surprised! My boyfriend and I had our own private table which made the experience even better. We enjoyed smelling all the different scents and the staff were very informative on how to improve our perfumes. Overall, a very good experience, suitable for both males and females.
This is a great experience. Smelling different scent combinations. Class leader was great spending time with each participant. Seems complicated at first. But teacher helps you get to your preferred blend.
We had a great time smelling the different scents and putting together the one specifically for us. It was a nice hour. I might have wanted a little more time but overall it was fine it was a nice way to spend an hour
This was quite literally my favorite experience in Nice!! It was so unique and built to your own style. Anastasia knew so much and was sooo helpful when creating our perfumes. It’s a very hands on experience, and felt overwhelming at first with all the choices, but she made it so easy for us!! And you can reorder your scent after you run out! Trust me, do this!!!
It was a great experience! I love getting to discover all the smells and the end product was exactly to my taste. Very satisfied.
Meeting women from different countries was a wonderful experience. We had an opportunity to bond - even if just temporarily—at a workshop that was easy and fun!
Super fun! I took my daughter's, 13 and 23, and they both loved the experience. I only wish I could have stayed longer and made more scents! It was truly a fun experience!
This was my third time making perfume in France and by far the best experience I have had. You were given a limited selection of scents to choose from to make your perfume. It took about an hour and I loved it when we were done.
As we only did the shorter workshop, it was a bit rushed, but we are extremely glad with our own signature perfumes at the end. And our host was pleasant and spoke English well. Would highly recommend, and perhaps would suggest the longer class if an option.
Interesting and great fund for all ages. First we got an introduction of how the scents of a perfume are put together and then we made our own blend. All of us loved our "own" perfume and have used them every day since. Highly recommended!
This was a great experience and tougher than imagined trying to mix with the scents to choose from! Short and sweet with a great blended perfume to take away as a memento.
This is was an excellent workshop! We opted for the 30-minute experience and it fit our expectations perfectly! Since none of us really knew which scent path we wanted to go with and the limited scents of the Bar Experience were ideal. The time allotted was perfect for picking our scents and mixing them. And the 30ml bottle was way bigger than I expected to receive from the workshop. Next time I'm in Nice, I'll definitely be doing the hour and a half workshop because now I know what to expect and what type of scents I enjoy - but the 30-minute workshop was great for our timeframe and it exceeding our expectations! A perfect, personalized souvenir from our wonderful trip to Nice!
Creating our own perfume from scratch was so much fun! I went with my two friends from college, but it would be great for girls of all ages/generations. We did the less expensive one, and it was honestly a perfect amount of scents to choose from. 30 minutes was the perfect amount of time for us to test and create our own, and the fact that you get to take home a full 30 ml perfume bottle of your own creation is such an amazing deal. If I ever go back to Nice (hopefully I do) I will definitely be doing this workshop again!
Had a great time with friends. Truly was a great experience! The workshop did not take too long and we were able to walk away with something personalized to remember the trip!
The workshop was great! The perfume expert was very kind, available, and gave good advice. No need to be an expert: the workshop is very intuitive and suitable for everyone, due to the diversity of fragrances offered to compose our perfume. I recommend it 100%!
My daughter and I were looking forward to this experience. And the surroundings were also really good, but the event itself was very stressful. There were various events ongoing at the same time, so it seemed as if there was no time for us to register for a less advanced event. We had booked an hour and were done in 40 minutes. I think the experience could have been better if there hadn’t been so much stress on and you could enjoy the development of the scents a little more. In addition, it is not clear whether you book a session with 40 fragrances or 90 fragrances. Big difference for output. We have to try it another time.
Es war sehr spannend wie die einzelnen Düfte so inneinander greifen und so ihre Wirkung auf unterschiedliche Weise entfalten. Ich hatte super Hilfe beim erstellen meines persönlichen Parfüms, welches toll riecht!
Very nice activity in 2021 This year, I was even able to recommend the perfume I had created. Very attentive, the staff managed to rebuild the exact smell of the initial perfume
I've been looking for Habanita for so long, and now she's mine! It is almost impossible to buy it in Ukraine, there is a lot from Molinar, and you will not find it! Amazingly beautiful, creative, artistic... Not even a shop, but a studio, a club I want to go to over and over again, because you walk out of there with wings and a dreamy smile on your lips... I'll be sure to stop by again with pleasure...
Should be a must for any trip to Nice. Welcoming to the summit very good experience and many new things discovered in this workshop
