Beautiful Experience in Paris - We were in Paris on a dream trip for my 11 yo niece. One of her wishes was to go to a perfume workshop. Fragonard had great reviews, was very affordable, and the location was great (close to Galeries Lafayette and easy public transportation). Everyone at the location was so friendly and welcoming. We had an issue with confirmation of our reservation and they went out of their way to make sure things worked out. The class itself was so good and informative. After we finished creating our own scent, we were given a very nice tour of the museum, and then a chance to test the wonderful scents in the store. I wish I had bought more because I don’t know when I will have another opportunity to go to Paris. I am very grateful we were able to enjoy this experience.

Enchanted Bloom: A Perfect Blend of Fresh, Floral, and Warm Notes for an All-Day Sophisticated Scent - Enchanted Bloom is an absolute delight! The fragrance opens with a fresh burst of citrus and sweet berries, instantly uplifting the mood. As it settles, the heart reveals a beautiful blend of jasmine and rose, adding a touch of elegance. The base notes of warm vanilla and musk create a soft, lingering finish that lasts all day. It's perfect for both daytime and evening wear, striking the right balance between floral, fruity, and warm tones. Definitely a must-have for those who love a sophisticated yet playful scent!

Came Out Smelling of Roses…And A Lot Else - As a surprise, my husband brought me to this perfume workshop and museum tour (a little joke of his due to how much perfume I have at home). The event began with us making the perfume and learning about the different kinds of smells and why they’re used, which was very interesting. We were allowed to take home the 12ml bottle we created. Then we were guided across the museum and given an in depth history about the different types of perfume as well as the bottles they come in. Finally, we were taken to the shop area and taught the difference between perfume/eau de toilette/eau fraîche, the length that each smell lasts (ie value for money) particularly interested my husband, and we got to smell different types to decipher which we liked the best before getting the opportunity to purchase some. In total the experience lasted an hour and I would say you should definitely try and fit it into your schedule whilst you’re here.

Perfect experience for perfume lovers - This was the perfect way to learn all about perfume; the history and how it's created. A superb experience run by an expert in the field/member of staff. It was a memorable experience to create my very own scent. I highly recommend this experience to all perfume lovers.

Highly recommend! - What a lovely experience we had! Our hostess/instructor was knowledgeable, professional, polite, and a bit humorous. She was an absolute delight. The perfume we created was interesting as we were able to personalize our fragrance. I recommend it!

Oh la la! - This is a quick and fun way to learn about perfume making and its history in France with one of the oldest perfumeries in the country, if not the world. We learned all about the 3 types and layers of scents from our guide and then set to work making our own creation. After, a tour of the former opera star mansion, and all the beautiful perfume jars and customs from past centuries, we got to experience the different Fragonard fragrances, how to wear them, and learned about the different properties of perfume, cologne, and everything in between.

Best way to See the Town - I think it's important for the person starting the tour to explain what marker to look for at each stop. I've done Hop on Hop Off before, so I knew what to look for after getting off and the driver should say the stop as well in case someone doesn't have the headphones in.

Recommend! - Was very informative and fun. Nice to make your own perfume but it was limited to the three scents available. We wish we had a little more freedom to choose other scents.
