Unforgettable for the wrong reasons
Global rating Quality/price Fun
We booked kids perfume workshop for our 2 daughters - it was a birthday treat for our 9 year old who was celebrating her birthday that day. We made this clear when we arrived. The set up of the room and the process looked very professional and we had expected a fun and unforgettable experience for our girls and our family. Unfortunately the Molinard consultant named Paola spent the entire time talking to us and paying very little attention to our kids. She complained about her boss being mean, the French economy and basically non stop about herself telling us her personal problems as opposed to focusing on the perfume workshop. To prolong the experience for our daughters my husband and I booked ourselves in for an adult perfume workshop hoping this will give our daughter more time to enjoy her time at Molinard. But instead there was more chatting from Paola and very little focus on the perfume. There were several groups in the room with us at the same time and she was splitting her time between other clients which made things worse. The instructions we received were to choose scents we liked however it ended up creating a combination which I didnt like. I expressed my concern to Paola but she assured me I will like it once I leave and that my nose is probably too tired to smell it well. In the end, I walked out with a fragrance which I would never wear and wasted a lot of money on. I dont recommend this experience at all. We hoped to have an unforgettable experience and learn about perfume making and not to listen to Paola's personal problems. All in all, a ruined birthday for our daughter and a waste of 196 euros.... It will be remembered for the wrong reasons.
