Funny and fascinating activity

Global rating Quality/price Fun

Our experience at bar des frangrances was overall great. We were able to smell all the essences and notes to make our personalized bottles of perfume, guided by a welcoming and cheerful host. We had a lot of fun and we also think the experience is totally worth the money: with a small amount, you get a fun experience, a little bit of knowledge and, most of all, a gorgeous bottle of your own perfume. Totally recommend!

Great Introduction to Perfume Making

Global rating Quality/price Fun

The whole family had a great time with the short-course make-your-own perfume session. Our guide was very helpful and encouraging and spoke excellent English. A very good introduction to the fascinating world of scent and the Molinard people are great.

Un peu cher pour le temps passé

Global rating Quality/price Fun

Le prix est élevé pour les mini 15 minutes ou on s'est senti pressé de réaliser notre composition. J'aurai du mettre 30 euros dans un parfum déjà realisé dans le magasin qui aurai sans doute mieux tenu et pour une plus grande quantité.un peu déçue moi qui pensais découvrir qq chose de plus sur mesure (type de peau etc...)

Great experience!

It was great, I originally booked Grasse location by mistake and we were in NICE. The NICE location graciously took us anyway, even though they had no classes scheduled. My 12 year old daughter loved choosing her own fragrances!

Twenty minute perfume workshop

Global rating Quality/price Fun

Overall I really enjoyed the experience. However I feel the price was a little too much. I hearing about how the different fragrances are blended and creating my own perfume but I felt it was very basic. I didn't really learn that much... However the whole experience at the perfumery was very interesting. I particularly liked he short film and the woman speaking about how she test many scents and relates them to certain emotions. I find that very creative... I would love to try something more in-depth like that... to smell a variety of fragrances and relate it to emotions then create something really original.

This experience was the highlight of our holiday. We learnt so much, and had such fun blending our own perfumes. I would recommend it to anyone looking for an experience to share with family and friends that you will remember for years to come.

Good fun

we tried the 30 minutes bar fragrances. the reception and the organization around can be a bit off putting as for the girls at reception it is more important to chat than taking care of customers. but the girls explaining the fragrances and how to mix your own with a couple of choices was super nice and made an effort. after the explanation you receive your little bottle and fill in what you like.
