Short and super fun thing to include in Your trip to Paris. Naomi was super informative and lovely - highly recommend this.
Informative tour about the history of perfume and Fragonard. I do wish we could have made our own perfume based on what we liked to smell like. Our tour only had one pre-chosen scent for everyone to make, and I did not really like this scent.
Not very exciting, only were given three items to blend and were told we had to use No explanation of how these items were made or connected. There were some images on the walls but they were not explained. Far too much time was given to selling their existing products without explaining how they differed or were made versus what we had played with.
Excellent history of perfume making. Great to do with your daughter so fun when you get to take your own perfume home with you.
Really enjoyable experience- great insight into the evolution of perfume. I would've liked more time in the museum though as it felt a bit rushed. It was great to learn more about perfume and make my own version.
This was a fun thing to do on our "girly" day of shopping and heading to the ballet. It was a beautiful history tour of the museum, the perfum making and then a little shopping experience in the gift area. The ingredients for the perfum are limited, but they teach you how to make your "signature scent" based on the custom mixing of those ingredients to come up with unique scents for every person on the tour. It was inexpensive and educational and gave us something to bridge a gap between activities (and it's in a great location). My son and husband would have been bored, so leave the boys behind, but definitely a fun experience and great value for the cost.
Very educational about how the perfume is made and so much fun working in the workshop making my own
Our tour guide was very informative and engaging. She did a great job of showing us how to make our custom perfume as well.
We really enjoyed this interactive experience. Our guide Ester was fantastic. She lead us through making our own eau de toilette while she explained how perfume is made. She then gave us a tour of the small museum and brought us to the on site shop to smell perfumes. Just the perfect blend of hands on activity mixed with some history. Would definitely do this again!!
We had such an amazing time on this tour! We learned so much, had so much fun making our own bottles, and had a great time learning all the base scents. We loved the gift shop too!
Sasha was entertaining and knowledgeable. The tour was very interesting and she added her own personal touches, making it more fun. Thank you, Sasha!
What a fascinating experiance learning about the history and art of perfume making! The museum itself is beautifully curated with interesting exhibits, and the highlight was definitely getting to create my very own unique fragrance to take home. The staff were knowledgeable and patient, guiding us through the process of selecting notes and blending them together. It felt special to walk away with something I actually made myself. If you're looking for something different to do in Paris beyond the usual tourist spots, I highly recommend adding this to your itinerary. It's educational, hands-on, and you leave with a personalized souvenir. Well worth the time and money!
Great experience for my teenage grand daughters The guide was informative and perfume making fun
Best experience with my kids. We learned a lot about perfumes. Making our own samples with my teenager kids was a memorable and bonding experience. Thank you!
This was a great experience. The tour guide was welcoming and provided a lot of cool facts about the history of perfume and the perfume making process!
Fun experience for the family. Very informative. Short and enjoyable.
My daughter & I were visiting Paris for a few days in celebration of her 21st Birthday, a bit of Mum & Daughter time, had to include perfume in some form or manner.. after a little confusion on our booking, our tour guide immediately made us feel very welcome & amused. We learned a hell of a lot about perfume which our guide executed very well in his humour. The workshop was very generous with time & products to use, we have some beautiful homemade perfume to keep following this & continued onto a historic tour which I must comment didn't allow enough time to absorb the mass amount of presentations etc.. for photographs etc a little rushed as it appeared other tours were toing & froing around the other members of public on the free help yourself tours! Once downstairs we were sprayed to high heaven with everything, 'Fragonard', offers were proposed but we decided to decline as we had our own homemade perfume already. If we had not have done the workshop & taken the free tour we would have most definitely bought a more substantial bottle of perfume at the end. Personally felt it was a little overpriced overall especially as we could not return upstairs to take any photographs & absorb the history in a little more detail. I would price this experience in a £22pp bracket. We will however return to purchase a bottle of the original Fragonard scent as it is one of the most beautiful blends I have ever smelled.
This experience was so lovely! Our leader was informative, fun, and patient. She answered everyone’s questions with expertise and helpful opinions. Highly recommend this experience!
Very interesting! Time we'll spent AND I got to create my own unique perfume. I highly recommend this tour.
My wife and I recently did the Fragonard Perfume tour and she did the perfume workshop as well, and it was a thoroughly enjoyable experience. While it might not be a deeply intense masterclass, it is a fun, easy, and accessible introduction to French perfumery. She really liked the process, was happy with the custom fragrance she created, and even bought another Fragonard scent afterward. The absolute biggest selling point of this activity is its location and convenience. It is incredibly easy to bundle this with other neighborhood highlights. We paired it with a self-guided tour of the stunning Palais Garnier Opera House and a visit to Galeries Lafayette (including the famous Glasswalk). Everything was just a short walk apart, making it stress-free to navigate. It didn't take up the whole day, left us with great souvenirs, and made for a truly wonderful, seamless day in Paris for both of us!
Very cool experience for any mom travelling with their daughters, as I was. Learned a lot and got to walk away with a fun memento from our trip.
Short and sweet and really fun. Our guide was lovely and the setting (Maria callas old apartment !) is beautiful
Not a lot of time to look at items in the displays Not for men No discount on buying products after paying for making perfume
My daughter and I were amazed by this tour and perfume making workshop. I visited Grasse, France 20 years ago, and bought my first bottle of Rose de Mai. It was so much fun to share this experience with her and we brought home some great scents (favorites are Etoile and Belle Cherie). This is a perfect Paris memory and I highly recommend it.
We absolutely loved this experience! It was wonderful to learn about the scent-making process and 100-year history of Fragonard - and we loved making our own personal scent as well! Our guide was fabulous and so knowledgeable. She also spent lots of time with us in the shop allowing us to smell all the Fragonard scents we wanted so we could make good purchase decisions. This was a highlight of our time in Paris.
Such a cute and fun experience. We had an 8 and 11 year old boys and a 17 year old girl and all loves making a scent and learning about perfume.
Our family of 5 really enjoyed this experience. The highlight was leaving with our very own scent! Our guide, Alexandra, was wonderful! We are so thankful for her expertise and kindness!
This was a nice way to spend a morning. I think I would have enjoyed it more if there were additional oils / notes to choose from for the perfume workshop portion. There were only 3 bottles to use for the creation of the perfume. I enjoyed the discovery of the makers perfume at the end more than I thought I would. In fact, I may go back and purchase a small bottle.
Great experience to have in Paris. Quite educational as well. Walking away with your own little perfume is a nice momento to take with you
Please be on time, very informative event. I actually learned a few tips and understood perfumery a little better although I have a lot of basic knowledge .
The making your own perfume part is about 30min, the rest is the museum tour and sampling the house's scents. The guide was very informative and fun! i gave in and got a 5pack of parfum but it'll be a great memento!
This experience was well worth every penny we paid! I learned so many interesting facts about the production of fragrances!! I had seen a story produced by 60 MINUTES on May 4 about the town Of Grasse in southern France, and its farming of roses and Jasmine whose blossoms are used in the production of perfume. It was a perfect connection to the Fragonard talk and tour!!!
The tour guide was lovely. Knowledgeable, informative, and kind. The tour was short and sweet. The workshop was ok. They choose the scent you will create. Toilette- not parfum. The bottles are flimsy and my fragrance leaked out. Afterwards, the scent exploration in the perfume store was done well and efficiently.
FYI, admission to the museum is free, and there is a purchasing department at the end of the free tour. Learning about the different elements that compose a perfume was interesting, but we didn’t actually get to customize much of the perfume. The class works with a specific perfume in mind already made by the manufacturer. Our guide was sufficiently knowledgeable, but rushed through many of the historical aspects of perfume making, a the tour itself.
a very informative 45min tour & workshop, our guide was excellent. She made sure we felt comfortable & confident to ask questions.
This was a great experience! Great tour with interesting info-and not too long for the kids (tweens--both boys and girls). Our tour guide was very friendly and patient with the kids. Making our own perfume scent was lots of fun! I would definitely recommend this to anyone!
Informative. Great tour guide. A delightful challenge producing our own perfume to take home. Highly recommend.
Really enjoyed it with 18 ye old daughter
Nice experience learning about the history behind perfumes. I enjoyed making my own personal and unique scent! Lovely memory of Paris.
This class is very elementary and I believe designed to be a sales pitch to buy perfume. I would take a hard pass and take advantage of other classes in Paris that are better.
I took my 12 year old daughter. We enjoyed the short tour and the perfume experience. It was a little more than an hour and that was perfect. Easy to find and I really liked the sample we walked away with.
We absolutely loved this activity. We did it as a family - my husband, our 11 year old daughter and me. It was so much fun to create the layers of fragrance, and all were thrilled with our individual scents. This is something I would absolutely recommend in Paris.
Very interesting and informative. Only problem was presenters English difficult to understand at times, and quite a bit of noise from others visiting museum.
It was interesting learning about the history of perfume. My daughter and I really enjoyed making our own fragrance. We were tasked with replicating a new Fragonard perfume but were able to achieve our own scent. Super fun couple of hours.
Well thought out event showing history of perfume and how it's made before making our own. I would have liked access to more scent choices (would even pay extra for access to more choices) during the make your own signature scent. But still really enjoyed this.
This was a great experience for perfume making, although the experience was a bit short. At the end, it was great that you got to keep your perfume sample. The Fragonard house has amazing perfumes.
I was unhappy with this tour. The tour guide was using American slang to mispronounce French calling that to people in the tour. The tour was supposed to be 2 hours and was less than that. People on the tour could have spent more time in the museum but were rushed through in order for the guide to sell the perfumes in the store instead.
Enjoyable experience. Explanation in the museum was a bit quick and made more difficult as the guide sadly had a very strong accent and was difficult to understand.
This is a fun learning experience. We got to create our own perfume and take it with us at the end. Isabella was our guide/instructor and you can tell she is very happy and passionate about the perfume making process.
