Highly Recommend - Only one option for top, middle, and Base notes. Perfect for shorter attention spans especially kids. Learned a lot as a first timer in the workshop and the museum tour. Great experience especially with my daughter. Highly recommend! My daughter loved it.

Quick tour of great smells - We had a retired "Nose" as our guide. She started with a brief class on how perfumes are mixed, giving us the chance to mix our own perfume using the top, mid and low notes. After we did that, she took us on a tour of the museum, including the history of perfumes from around the world. It was very interesting. We got a discount on buying perfumes after the tour, might have been upsold a little bit, but it was worth it. It's a quick tour in the heart of the shopping and touristy area. Definitely worth the money and a lot of fun. If you are sensitive to smells or prone to beadaches, would definitely avoid. It was warm even in Spring and easy to become overwhelmed.

Making perfume in Paris - Myself, son and daughter-in-law loved every minute of this experience. The presenter was well informed, efficient and held the whole group together with her wit and charm.

Perfume Making Tour - I went solo to the perfume making class and had a guide named Naomi, she was lovely and very kind. The class was excellent and I was happy to sample some perfume after my tour

Solo Traveler - Fun thing to do. I did think I would make my own perfume but they gave you a “recipe” but you could alter it to your liking. Still a fun and different activity. The museum itself and location is beautiful right across from the Opera House, near the luxury stores, not far from Galleria Lafayette. Just a great location and the tour of the Museum de Perfume was interesting and not too long.

Amazing experience! - Near boulevard haussmann , there are free and permanent guided tours! We started with a course on the history of perfume and how it was used and manufactured over the centuries. Then we went down to the shop where we received a wonderful course on the different kinds of perfumes and its preservation. Our guide who had Mexican origins were very kind and knew captured his audience! We left with a eau de toilette following this advice, it makes a beautiful memory of the capital

Great tour! - Great experience. A little sales-pitchy at the end though. This tour is clearly a great way for Fragonard to lure in tourists to sell perfume to. Overall, it was an interesting experience, just be prepared for the sales pitch at the end.

To find the door to get... - To find the door to get in was a little tricky, look for the entrance mat. The perfume making class was very interesting and informative. I thought there would be more scent options but it was really one scent that you could customize to your liking. It was still a nice experience. The museum tour was extremely informative, they had a very cool collection of artifacts including Marie Antoinette’s perfume case. After the tour you are then brought o the sales floor where they talk about different scent profiles and you get to try them then make a purchase if you like.

Bad. - Insignificant museum, aimed only at the sale of perfumes that have an excessive cost. We were told that leaving our data we would get samples at home, but after months I still have not seen any trace ..
