Fun workshop

Global rating Quality/price Fun

This was a fun activity! We learned a lot about perfume in a short period of time, and we made our own eau de toilette! There were even men in our workshop, and all enjoyed the experience. I highly recommend this workshop - its short duration fits easily into the tourist schedule, and the location is very close to many other sights and stores.

My daughter (13yr) and I booked the mini perfume workshop. Tour was short but quite interesting and guide was amazing. Especially fun to make your own perfume. Definitely recommend this.

Disapointing workshop

Global rating Quality/price Fun

This did not feel like a workshop. It was done standing up with very short explanation and very little value

Fun and unique!

Global rating Quality/price Fun

This was such a fun and simple activity! I felt like it was more unique from the typical museum experience in Paris. I liked that it was a small group as well. Our guide, Miriam, was friendly and informative. It was so fun to make our own version of the annual signature perfume, learn about the history of perfume, and smell a handful of their scents! Highly recommend this workshop!!

We really enjoyed the class. It was short and concise and well priced. Our guide through the museum was so nice! Perhaps add to the description that it is only using the flower of the year- I thought I was going to have a bigger selection of smells to use. It was still a lot of fun!

Incredible One of a Kind Perfumes!

I really enjoyed creating our own perfume followed by a tour of the museum and history of perfume. The staff are very kind, and our tour guide was very sweet. Highly recommend the tour, which ends at the shop were you can buy perfumes. Wish I could’ve created a bigger bottle of perfume though.

Lucy was amazing.

Me and my daughter booked this workshop for her 12th birthday we traveled from Ireland to Paris. Lucy our guide was amazing so friendly kind and knowledgeable.

Really lovely

Global rating Quality/price Fun

My teenage daughter and I really loved this! The mini workshop was very interesting for someone like me without previous knowledge or experience in parfumerie. The little bottle of your own creation is really a lovely parisian souvenir. After the workshop I was surprised at how much I liked the guided tour of the museum. It was informative and our guide made it also fun! All rooms are lavishly decorated. At the end we couldn’t resist buying a Fragonard original. I have already recommended this experience to my friends.

Great - with slight room of improvement

Global rating Quality/price Fun

I think if the workshop provides more flavour for us to choose, the value would be higher

Excellent fun and interesting

Global rating Quality/price Fun

Creating the perfume was fun and easy. Learned about the process and the multitude of fragrances. Glad they keep the choices simple so one can see how different smells can come from the ratio of the various ingredients as much as the fragrances themselves. Guide was energetic and informative. Highly recommend.

We both enjoyed it. The guide was very pleasant and the perfume making was fun. The museum after was interesting and we bought five bottles of perfume at the end.

Absolutely Worth It

Global rating Quality/price Fun

We had the best time making our own blend using the year's signature notes and learning about the art of perfume making. The guided tour of the museum was interesting and engaging, and you could actively hear our guide's enthusiasm. Checking in was quick and easy and I would absolutely recommend it to everyone - it's worth the time and the money.

Great Mother-Daughter activity

Global rating Quality/price Fun

The tour guide/ perfume guide was very informative and engaging in a beautiful house next to the Opera. I loved that we not only made our own scent but also got a brief history of perfume to accompany the collection of artefacts. The tour finished with an introduction to Fargonard's scents. We walked away with our own perfume, a signature Fargonard perfume (at a great price), feeling informed, pampered and blissful.

Good introduction to perfume making

I liked it all I have is a little bit of a hard sell at the end. I like perfume to settle on my skin before I make a decision. I would recommend it this, as I visited on a personal recommendation

A truly Parisien expericence

Toller Kurzworkshop

Kurz und knackig konnten wir ein Parfum herstellen, bekamen Infos über die Geschichte von Fragonard, Flacons und Düfte. Danach wurden uns die aktuellen Düfte vorgestellt. Es war ein kurzweiliger und interessanter Ausflug in die Welt der "Nasen".

We loved the mini perfume workshop!

My 15 year old daughter and I did this tour and thoroughly enjoyed it. The mini workshop was a perfect amount of time to learn how perfume is made, make our own perfume, learn some perfume history and SHOP!

A vacation highlight

Global rating Quality/price Fun

We signed up for this experience on the recommendation of a friend and could not have been more pleased with it! Paris is a favorite destination of ours, but we have never participated in an experience quite like this. The museum tour and apprentice experience was so informative and fun. The staff members were all so warm and service-oriented. We came away with such great memories--not to mention wonderful perfumes--from this workshop and highly recommend it.

An amazing experience

Global rating Quality/price Fun

I thoroughly enjoyed the mini perfume workshop. I chose this one because I was more interested in the museum tour, but also wanted to get a taste of what goes into creating a scent. Fragonard did not disappoint, and I left with my very own version of a classic Fragonard scent. I'm wearing it as I write this and the fragrance takes me right back to the streets of Paris. I would recommend this tour to anyone even remotely interested in culture and/or chemistry.

Sales pitch instead of a workshop

Global rating Quality/price Fun

The workshop was more of a sales pitch for Fragonard fragrances instead of teaching about perfumery. If fragrances are your hobby, you will not learn anything here. There were no ingredients available, just premixed base, heart and head to put together for one boring citrusy-narcissus fragrance. After the workshop we were rushed along the museum as fast as possible, so we can get to the sales pitch at the Fragonard shop. The sales pitch took longer than the workshop part, to make us buy fragrance bottles from Fragonard. Definietely NOT worth the price. I do not recommend this workshop, especially if you already know a lot about fragrances.

Great Experience and Something Different

Global rating Quality/price Fun

Learned about how perfume is made. This workshop was not long and was great for something a little different to do. It was very interesting to smell how everyone's scent was different. Had a great time and would recommend this if you can fit it in. (Schedule in advance and if using city pass, will need pass number to book).

A special experience to create a memento of Paris

Global rating Quality/price Fun

Such a lovely workshop hosted by a brilliant perfume specialist. We did this as a family to celebrate my cousin's engagement and make a perfume for her wedding and it was such a unique and special way to spend the afternoon. We've all come away with a new appreciation for the process and a unique souvenir of our trip - definitely recommend this to anyone looking for something memorable to do in Paris.

Fantastic! Loved it.

Global rating Quality/price Fun

Loved it! We did wish there were a few more options in mixing our custom perfumes; there are only three ingredients to choose from so variations were limited. It was a lot of standing, also - chairs or stools would have been nice. But it was really fun and we enjoyed learning about how perfumes are made and the history of the Fragonard perfume makers.

Enjoyable and informative

Global rating Quality/price Fun

My daughter and I enjoyed the workshop. We liked learning about the history of Fragonard and also how perfumes and scents are created.

not for aficionado

Global rating Quality/price Fun

so i coined the term "olfactomaniac" for myself because perfumes are my hobby and passion. I have an extensive collection and thought that the perfume-making part of this workshop will be a lot more intricate, however, we were only given 3 ingredients: a citrusy top, floral mid, and amber base to use to "make" our own perfume. since i dont like florals, i could only use the top and base. so my perfume is a 2 ingredient perfume. the walkthourgh itself was alright but not too detailed or immersive. so overall, i cant really recommend this for 30 euros. i think it's too expensive for what you get and youll probably enjoy just walking around the museum on your own. i recommend saving your money for a more elaborate perfume-making workshop elsewhere where you can use more than 3 ingredients.

Not quite make your own fragrance

Global rating Quality/price Fun

The three scents that the instructor gave us to work with were very limiting. I thought we could blend our own fragrance using specific flower fragrances. It was nice, but way too basic. I would pay 10-20 euros more to have a wider choice of fragrances.

Wonderful experience!

Global rating Quality/price Fun

Wonderful experience- I have a love of perfume, especially the science and history behind it- so it was incredible to here the stories of one of the houses. Along with getting to create a perfume.

Fun and interesting

Perfume experience

Global rating Quality/price Fun

The experience was great. Fun! Not long appropriate amount of time. The CON the bottles they gave us to make signature scent leaked both of us lost our perfume within hours and it stained our clothing. Bummer

Interesting

Global rating Quality/price Fun

I think the activity was interesting because we learned a few things, the guide was also very good making the session interactive. But I also believe that it was rather short. And the restriction on the perfume we would make wasn’t explicit in the description. I thought we would have mon choices. In my case for example I don’t like floral scents so I will not wear the perfume made. I also think it might be a bit expensive. No difficulty during the booking process or the activity itself but make sure to book really in advance. I don’t know if I will recommend the perfume workshop but I will definitely recommend the museum !

A Beautiful Experience

Global rating Quality/price Fun

My husband. adult son (who is a doctor) and I had a wonderful time at this workshop! Our instructor was Yoko who did a fabulous job of teaching us about the 3 notes of essential oils and the choice we have in deciding how much of each we have in designing our perfumes for either men or women. e each walked away with a mini sample of the scent of our own design.She then gave us a thoroughly fun yet educational tour of the museum. Impressed by this perfume with purchased a five pack and additional bottles of various scents. My only suggestion is that you provide the tax forms needed for tourist to receive the the taxes back at the airport. We did not get to enjoy the discount because we weren't given the form and it wasn't provided upon request. Most of the stores we visited in the area around the Opera House did provide these forms at checkout! I really loved the quality and beauty of your products and plan to visit your factory in Grasse next time we are in France.

Excellent!!

Global rating Quality/price Fun

Super fun activity for a group! I also wanted to note the excellent customer service. I accidentally booked my group for the wrong location (Grasse instead of Paris). I realized about two hours before and called to see if they would be able to make the switch. They were so kind so accommodate us in Paris on such short notice! I am so thankful!

Enjoyable and fun to try some new scents

Global rating Quality/price Fun

Beautiful venue in a great part of Paris. Staff and guide were all very friendly and easy to understand. The length of time was just right - I found the information and historical artifacts very interesting. The guide was helpful offering a variety of their scents to try. There was no pressure to purchase - but the parfum's were lovely and prices reasonable. I couldn't resist also buying some beautiful soaps. Now that I've unwrapped one for my bathroom sink - the fragrance permeates the space and reminds me of a beautiful morning in Paris!

Exciting and unique experience

Global rating Quality/price Fun

We had a wonderful time learning about the history of perfume. Our hostess was knowledgeable and shared her wit and wisdom with us. She was a pleasure. Making our own perfume was an amazing experience. Our hostess explained each step and its importance in making perfume. Her demonstration was easy to understand and quite interesting. She interacted with our group making everyone feel comfortable and welcomed. She asked questions of us and then offered clear and concise answers. We highly recommend this for anyone traveling to Paris. It's easy to book online and truly a splendid experience. A once-in-a-lifetime opportunity you should have in Paris.

Perfect Saturday

My daughter and I really enjoyed the perfumery history and small group of 12 to make our custom souvenir. Location easy to find, directly across the opera house, close to shopping. A perfect Saturday!

Amazing

Global rating Quality/price Fun

Very interesting, special the history about the parfum

Basic workshop

Global rating Quality/price Fun

Workshop is nice if you have never learned anything about perfumes before. Personally, I found it too basic (explaining differences between EdP and EdT, construction of perfume with different type of notes etc). The guide/staff was very friendly. The museum itself is worth the visit. The workshop too, if you are completely new to the topic.

Nice experience

Global rating Quality/price Fun

It was fun to be able to personalise the perfume! I did not like that only one fragrance/notes of perfume were available. I would totally recommend the experience to friends!

Great time

Global rating Quality/price Fun

Highly recommend. Really unique experience. During this perfume making class they explained the process of making perfume, and then we’re able to make our own. After we finished, we got a tour of the museum and got to smell some of the shops current perfumes.

Informative Workshop

Global rating Quality/price Fun

We were in Paris for our last stop during our European honeymoon. My husband knew I have an affinity for perfumes and its history. He surprised me with the famous Fragonard Museum tour and a workshop to make my very own cologne. I had a memorable time. Sasha was knowledgeable, humorous, and kind. I enjoyed the workshop very much! The museum is beautiful and managed well by staff members who were friendly and accommodating for last minute changes. The store is spacious and brightly lit. I was particularly impressed with the soft sell at the end of the tour. It was strategically presented in a way that didn’t pressure the consumers and the set packages were priced appropriately. I can’t wait to go back to experience the other hour-long workshop. However, that would mean I need to start my French lessons now since it is only offered in the French language. Keep up the good work, Fragonard! There’s no one else like you.

3/5 stars

Global rating Quality/price Fun

I enjoyed the class and museum tour but I think one should go through the tour first. It gives perspective and information that is relevant to the activity. The workshop went fast and I didn’t quite understand all the steps thoroughly. It would have been helpful to have a pamphlet to discuss the steps in detail to better understand how the percentage of each of the three ingredients affect the final scent.

The workshop was fun but a little short and the option for selecting different notes was limited. That being said, it was nice to take away a great smelling perfume and our guide Yoko was amazing.

My husband and I are traveling with our sons ages 19 and 23. I’ll admit it: I booked this experience primarily for myself. What a happy coincidence that the boys loved it!

Great perfume workshop. Highly recommend!

I enjoyed the workshop and would love to go back again on our next visit to Paris and this time with my two teenagers. I learned so much about perfume making and the tour was excellent. I wish I can remember the name of our guide as she was excellent and I felt that she also enjoys what she does.

A Testor’s Testimony

Global rating Quality/price Fun

Good communications; easy online booking; Size of class spread out in large room made Understanding instructions hard at times especially when having to listen closely for heavy accented English speaking. Not a complaint but observation. Tour of museum greatly appreciated

Fragonard sales and marketing tour

Global rating Quality/price Fun

The experience was bad since I thought they were going to provide us with more information regarding the development of a perfume and really the tour is a marketing strategy where they show you the brand all the time and end up giving you to try their fragrances so that you buy them Being the Perfume museum we expected something else, not to make a simple cologne with a lot of alcohol. I am very disappointed. The only good thing was the guide. She was very nice and she tried to explain everything to us well. Although in a hurry because they had to finish quickly to sell us their products.

Just ok

Global rating Quality/price Fun

For 20 minutes it was an ok workshop. It introduced you to the simple techniques of perfume making. Our group whizzed through the museum though due to lack of time and got a sales pitch at the end to buy perfume.

Good fun! And learning.

Yed

Hard to follow explanation

Global rating Quality/price Fun

The actual perfume making part was fun but it was very difficult to hear and understand our guide. She spoke too softly for a group of our size.

Perfume experience

Global rating Quality/price Fun

The workshop is quite fun, I have learnt a lot about perfumes in general, but the title and description on the website is quite misleading. We did create a perfume which was a copy of one of their fragrances for the year so we were quite limited on the artistic part. I was disappointed in the fact that the first words on the website and much of the description link more with the “creation of your own personal perfume” rather than the recreation of one of their perfumes with a certain degree of freedom. Also the particular perfume was too floral for me so I had to skip one of the only 3 oils we could use. The people I met at the workshop were quite friendly, fun and we actually went out after it.

Awesome mini workshop

Global rating Quality/price Fun

This was such a nice experience. Very well explained. The concept of head, heart and base notes was introduced and prepared in a simplified way to get straight into creative experimenting. The level of information was easily digestible. I loved it. I will return for the big workshop. Merci beaucoup

Must do!

Global rating Quality/price Fun

Sue Ellen was a fabulous guide. This short but informative and interesting tour/workshop was great! I learned a lot of information about the history and actual making of perfume. If you want a fun Paris experience that doesn’t take all day this is it! I would highly suggest booking at Fragonard. We even got to take our own concoction home along with purchasing some gifts to take home. I’m definitely glad we got to do this. Fun for all ages

Very interesting and fun experience

Global rating Quality/price Fun

This was a first for our group of six attending the mini perfume workshop in English. It was very informative, interesting, and a really fun time. Although our guide's English was difficult to understand, we didn't let that dampen our experience. It was a unique experience that I would recommend doing while in Paris. Highly recommend without hesitation!

Fascinating but Rushed

Global rating Quality/price Fun

I would have liked to learn the history of Fragonard and the processes of parfumé making first rather than make the parfumé in the beginning without any knowledge or background. I left wanting to know more and ask more questions but know time. Would definitely recommend the tour to others but advise them to go for the longer options if their plans permit.

Unique and exciting experience!

Global rating Quality/price Fun

Our guide was very knowledgeable and we learned a lot about the history of perfumes, as well as other interesting facts.

The workshop was a lot of fun and we enjoyed having a guide for the tour. Our guide Yoko was very friendly and answered all our questions! We could tell how much she enjoyed the history of perfume-making and her interest and excitement really added to the experience. Highly recommend!

It was .....ok.

Global rating Quality/price Fun

The entire experience was just ok. The portion where we are to make our own fragrance was rushed and we were only given 3 different base scents to mix and match together in order to come up with our own scent, however, in my opinion it just ended up smelling similar to what the Perfumery already sells. It was more flowered scented(not my favorite type of perfume scent). It was very rushed as well as the "tour". It was short and quickly done so that they could take us to the front to sell us some of their own perfume that they sell. Over all not really worth it.. I would recommend unless you just want to do something.

Worth every penny

Global rating Quality/price Fun

It was a wonderful informative tour and an extra bonus to be able to make our own perfume. It was hard to find how to register for a mid week session, but glad we got there in the end

A bit dissapointing

Global rating Quality/price Fun

The workshop was dissapointing. We were hoping to creatr our own perfume, like advertised. However we were just recreating Fragonards latest perfume. Which is a feminine sent, so men from the workshop didn’t have a usable perfume. The guided tour was verry short and brief, no new details. Only the information that was written down with the objects. The guide was verry friendly and the welcome went verry wel. But overall dissapointing for the amount of money paid. I was hoping for much more

Amazing activity ! Wish it was longer

Great Experience

Global rating Quality/price Fun

Loved how we learned about the construction and purpose of each ingredient in perfume by doing it ourselves. And we got to take home our creations.

Short but sweet

Global rating Quality/price Fun

Our guide was so sweet and patient with our group. We had three scent combinations to mix our custom mini perfume from which was less than I had hoped. Since you could only control the small amount of each, most of our final products smelled about the same. However, it was still a nice experience to learn about how the scent profiles are made and leave with a personal spray. We also toured the museum and our guide took us into the salon to sample more fragrances and make a purchase. She became our personal shopping advisor and we made several purchases because she was so patient and helpful. Honestly, some of the other employees didn't seem as helpful to tourists but we got lucky with our guide.

Great experience!

Global rating Quality/price Fun

I thoroughly enjoyed customizing my fragrance. Wish I could have selected my base, wasn't partial to the signature 2022 Wild Rose. But I created a lovely scent that is gift worthy. The museum tour was brilliant also.

Amazing!

Global rating Quality/price Fun

Loved the workshop segment, and the fact that the groups are no more than 10! The staff were lovely and funny, and I learnt a lot.

Fun Workshop with Great Souvenir

Global rating Quality/price Fun

You can view the parfum museum on your own for free, but if you take the workshop, you get the tour with a guide and it's very informative and interesting. The items in the museum are labeled, but I got more out of it with the guide than when I walked through by myself bc I was able to ask questions. The fun part, of course, was getting to make my own eau de parfum to take home! FYI: whatever the flower of the year is for Fragonard, that will be one of the scents you make your parfum with. 2022 is the wildflower and so we had rose as the middle note, which is not my favorite, so I used the citrus (top) and musk (bottom) scents to create my own scent, which I adore! After the parfum workshop and tour, our guide took us to the Fragonard store to smell and sample Fragonard parfums. Enjoyable event!

The guide talked so quickly and broken English it was very hard to understand what she was saying. She also ruched throw the rooms down to the shop. Even if the work shop was fun my impression is that the purpose of the museum only is to extend the sale of the products of Fragonard.

Fascinating, Fun Experience

Global rating Quality/price Fun

The museum itself was fascinating. I've always been interested in perfumes and their history and evolution. I loved all the bottles. It was great to be able to learn more about how perfumes are made and play with the combinations in the workshop. I might have liked more of a choice of scents, but what we had was great. I'm still wearing my custom perfume (although I'm running out quickly). The discounts in the shop were nice. I was able to buy quite a few presents to take back to my friends in the UK and US. All in all, a great experience if you are interested in perfume!

Highly recommended

This was such a fun and knowledgeable and unique experience. Our guide was wonderful! Making our own scent was very special. If you love perfume this is for you ????

Great Workshop

Global rating Quality/price Fun

I had a great time at the perfume workshop! The woman leading was very helpful and kind, and the tour afterwards was fascinating. I would definitely recommend this workshop!

Wonderful afternoon experience

Global rating Quality/price Fun

Took my sister to this workshop. We both enjoyed more than we had expected to! Even found some parfum as gifts ????. Would recommend for a casual afternoon activity

Something different but a bit expensive

Global rating Quality/price Fun

The tour was very informative and interactive. However, I thought there would be more choice of scents to choose from and we were very limited so everyone’s perfume is similar. The actual perfume making experience was also very short. I thought I was paying for a longer session with more choice of scents and felt disappointed. However, the booking process was easy and session was run well.

Amazing experience !

Global rating Quality/price Fun

I liked the guide and how well and passionately she explained everything. It was clear, just a shame that it was only 45 minutes and that we didn’t have more options to create our own perfume. But I would definitely recommend it and I would join more in-depth workshops or courses if they were available :)

Not the best workshop

Global rating Quality/price Fun

The museum was a lovely experience but the workshop wasn’t worth it. We were rushed through and only had 3 scents to play with. Had I known this I would’ve booked a different workshop somewhere else.

Parfume Class Recommendation

Global rating Quality/price Fun

This class was amazing and full of neat facts that we learned about cologne and parfume. Coming home with a bottle is even better, considering we made the parfume ourselves.

Somewhat OK.

Global rating Quality/price Fun

Didn't like that there were only three perfumes to create our perfume.

Calm escape into scent

Global rating Quality/price Fun

Visiting Fragonard a fun, interesting way to spend an hour or so while in the Opera area. Great detail abt the history of a 3rd generation family enterprise & their perfume making. Of course, easy to purchase a wonderful souvenir of scent afterwards. Glad I booked this visit.

Sales Pitch

Global rating Quality/price Fun

The tour was rushed, the lesson is elementary, and the whole thing ended with a sales pitch to buy their perfume. Not awful, but not really as advertised either.

I loved all of it. I would recommend this store to everyone. Every time I visit Paris this will be my number one stop

Absolutely loved it!

Global rating Quality/price Fun

Such a fantastic experience! Great value for money, with your own little bottle of perfume to take home and a short tour taking you through the interesting history and process of perfume making. Also included great discounts on more perfumes at the end of the tour. My only feedback would be to make it clear that customers would be making a variation of the signature perfume, not choosing their own scent for the workshop. But overall, still highly recommended!

Merci! Fragonard is fabulous!

Global rating Quality/price Fun

I thoroughly enjoyed this experience. Nicolina gave an excellent history of perfume and tour. I would like to know which of the Fragonard fragrances we made in our workshop (September 30) so I can buy more, it’s lovely!

One of the Best Experience!

Global rating Quality/price Fun

In my opinion, this is a truly unique experience in Paris because the Mini Perfume Workshop/Tour involves all senses: touch, visual, auditory, and of course, smell. I enjoyed the mini workshop the most, and I got to hear what perfume is made out of and how to make one of a kind, just for me. Although I still did not understand it because I am not a perfumer, the workshop helped me develop a newfound appreciation for perfume making.

I like it very much

Thanks to the wonderful guide Yulia. Very interesting museum and I made the perfume of my dreams! It was unforgettable. Thank you ???? very much

The workshop portion was fun and and super informative! Our guide was funny, enthusiastic and super knowledgeable. Moreover, she was able to teach in such a way that the information was easy to absorb. The museum portion, while small, was just as memorable and fun. Would definitely recommend this to anyone I know that's visting Paris!

It was very interesting.

Perfume lab session

Our guide was most informative and we learned a lot. Had fun creating our personal scent and enjoyed the history tour. Chairs or stools would have helped during the lab session. It was a long time to stand but would definitely recommend the experience

Wonderful!

A wonderful glimpse into the perfumer’s world with a chance to (re)create and customise an eau de toilette. Small group with very knowledgeable guide. Well-paced tour. Easy booking and check-in. Would recommend.

Enlightening Afternoon

My group of six enjoyed the workshop very much. We learned so much, and left with individual scents we created. So fun.

Amazing experience!

Global rating Quality/price Fun

This was the most interesting museum for me and my man. Guide Julija was amazing <3 Interesting stories and expositions, amazing shop with very nice prices. It was very interesting to mix our own perfume, and I would be happy to do it again! Now at home country I am using perfume and remembering Paris. Thank you for this experience!

very nice and appreciated experience - perfect for a gift!

Global rating Quality/price Fun

Great experience in a super nice location. I appreciated the quality/price balance. Very friendly staff. I'd recommend this experience for a nice gift. Better for newbies, less suitable for who's more expert/more into perfumes. Very limited choice of the notes (notes available are based on Fragonard frangrance of the year). While booking, please give the possibility to see the number of tickets available. I was trying to book for a slot at 3PM that was sold out, asking to add 4 people for a special occasion (bachelorette party). I was told it was not possibile because they accepted 10 people maximum, so I ask to switch for another slot at 9 AM (the switch was easy and the operator eas very friendly, though). At the end, I discovered that there were more than 10 people attending the workshop at 9 AM and this disappointed me a little bit.

excellent tour, learned lots and it was fun.

Global rating Quality/price Fun

The booking experience was easy, no problems at all. The speaker was excellent. Even the men in our group enjoyed the tour. I do wish there were more options when it came to making our own perfume. I don't like floral scents and especially Rose, so I didn't enjoy that part of the experience. I really wanted a keepsake scent from Paris but that was just not my cup of tea. Other than that, it was great.

Not so impressive

Global rating Quality/price Fun

I think there can be more info provided or at least make it more complicated not just add 3ml of this, 5 ml of that which is not something we are looking for. And also the perfume can be slightly bigger in size I guess ????

Great experience

Global rating Quality/price Fun

The workshop was great! We really enjoyed heaaring about history of parfumes and especially making our own parfume which we brought home :) We recommend it !

Need a new guide

Global rating Quality/price Fun

The guide preferred to communicate in Spanish with the one guest. Sharing more context and explanation since she was more fluent in Spanish than in English. As someone bilingual In Spanish and English. I was disappointed. She rushed through the whole experience like she was concerned with time. I could have fallen in love with the brand or bought more in the gift shop if I understood more about the brand. The rushing made it seem like they were about to close so I needed to rush also. Not an experience I would recommend.

A fragrant and fun experience

Global rating Quality/price Fun

My husband, two teen daughters and I really enjoyed this workshop. We learned so much about fragrances - how to smell the different layers and notes to each scent, how to properly store fragrances, the history of perfume, and so much more. Our tour guide Sasha was incredibly knowledgeable, passionate about fragrance and funny! Would definitely recommend this to anyone who wants to know more about the world of perfume.

Brilliant idea, incomplete implementation

Global rating Quality/price Fun

For me France and the fragrance are one and the same.my dream came true when I saw the advertisement for the workshop. The topic is very interesting. There are so much to explain and discover. Unfortunately the museum tour was very short. The workshop was ok. I could also purchase my DREAM PARFUM. Sadly the bottle of the 40 euro perfume cannot be closed well and it is continuously evaporating...

Well…

Global rating Quality/price Fun

I wish I would of know that exact perfume we were making. I took my my husband and boys thinking we would all make different perfume and/or cologne. We all have the same bottles to make a version of that. In the end they all smell similar. There were more men in the class then females. So I wasn’t the only thinking this.

Nice experience

Global rating Quality/price Fun

Overall, I think this was a nice experience. Staff was knowledgable and it was interesting to learn about the evolution of how perfume is made. We were just disappointed that there were only three notes to work with. Wish there was more variety to make a scent that I would actually wear on a daily basis.

Fun perfume experience

Global rating Quality/price Fun

This was a fun short perfume tour and experience. I do wish we had a bit more time and choices in the scents to create our perfume as this was limited. Still a fun time!

Great fun

Global rating Quality/price Fun

I loved making my own perfume and our guide was very good. Booking was easy to do and I would recommend it. The only problem I had was at the end and there were so many people in the store. That made it difficult to hear prices and if we were offered any specials. However I was able to go to a different location to make my purchases.

Great

I do like the workshop. It introduced the history of perfume and offered me an opportunity to make my own perfume. It was quite easy to make a booking. I would definitely recommend this workshop to my friend when they travle to Paris.

Loved the perfume making, learning the stages of production and the amazing effort that goes into making each perfume. Being able to create our own scent was so much fun! The museum tour was also really interesting. Highly recommend this activity????

Fun, fact-filled and fantastic!

Global rating Quality/price Fun

Really enjoyed this work-shop and tour! At first we thought we would have lots of scents to choose from, but we were provided with a top note, bottom note and heart note. The mixing of the perfume turned out to be choosing the proportions you wished. After that minor setback in the start where I had expected this would be the best part of the workshop/tour, it actually just got better and better. Our guide was fantastic, lots of small fun trivia included in the historic tour and then we finished in their shop where the guide showed us some of their new and old favorite perfumes. Also the tips on how to apply and store perfume were very useful! Fun, fact-filled and fantastic! I wonder if I will ever go back to Eau de parfum after this!? ;)

My 10 year old daughter and I loved learning about and creating our own perfume. It was based on this year's new perfume release and we were each able to customize our own so we walked away with a personalized product we love and a memory for life. Our guide, Sofia, was excellent, patient, funny, and kind. She engaged on a personal level and seemed to really enjoy her job which always enhances your experience. Truly an unforgettable experience. We would absolutely go again and recommend it for all. We love Fragonard!

Thoroughly recommend!

Global rating Quality/price Fun

This is a brilliant way to experience the perfume making process and learn more about Maison Fragonard. Our guide was knowledgeable, interesting and spoke perfect English so nothing was lost in translation. The museum itself was compact but cool, clean and light after some of our other Paris experiences. I loved doing this with my teenager daughter and would recommend it to anyone what wants to pass a quiet, enjoyable afternoon in one of the nicest smelling places in the city! We will definitely be returning next time we come to Paris.

So fun!

Perfume Sales not Workshop

This was more of a sales pitch for the Fragonard line of perfumes than a perfume workshop. Our guide was not very enthusiastic.

Perfume Making Workshop

Global rating Quality/price Fun

This was a fun late morning activity for my daughter and me. The lady conducting the workshop was pleasant and knowledgeable, and my daughter and I had fun not only making our own perfumes, but also learning about about Fragonard and the art of perfume making. Given that this workshop was not very expensive at all, it was really an enjoyable way to spend a Saturday morning. Also, shopping at the end was fun as we got to smell tons of perfumes and soaps, which is something my daughter and I really have fun with. We left with lots of Fragonard goodies outside of just the perfume that we made!

Thank you so much for an amazing and memorable experience. Of all the museums Paris has to offer, it was a literally refreshing experience. The lecture, the workshop, the explanation, the atmosphere was just magical. I would definitely recommend this extraordinary experience, and also the added value with which one goes out in the end.

Make your own perfume , misleading the guests

Global rating Quality/price Fun

While the experience was nice it was misleading. We were under the impression we would be creating a fragrance of our choice, but we’re given one citrus and one floral essence which we could mix in proportion as per our choice. So not really much creativity there. For €29 it was expensive no I would not recommend this to my friends or family.

Mini Perfume Workshop

Loved our guide. I wish we could have had more choice and freedom to create our own scent instead of only three scent choices. Love the museum. I would recommend. I would do it again.

great staff

Global rating Quality/price Fun

Value for money and the staff are fantastic. Well worth an hour of your time, but be warned, you are not allowed to make the scent of your choice. You get to make a variation of rose perfume. Its the same scent however you add the base and top notes, good fun but its not of your choice! This is the only reason they lose a star.

Personalized Parfum

Creating my own scent is an experience I won’t soon forget & neither will those who encounter me. The museum is beautiful & learning about the parfum process was fascinating.

DO IT!

I did this with 3 other people and we all loved it. I’m actually wearing my little rose perfume that I concocted right now. We learned so much, Julia our guide was the sweetest person on earth and we learned so much. I didn’t even know how interesting perfumery could be but it was so much fun! I’ve told everyone about it. Booking was easy, the process was streamlined. Do it.

Great Experience, very engaging host, Fun and easy to follow. The guided tour after the workshop is a plus. I would recommend for sure the experience.

Disapointment

Global rating Quality/price Fun

We would appreciate if there were chairs to sit on. After a lot of walking in Paris we expected this to be a seated arrangement. We also would have appreciated somewhere to hang jackets and bags. Now We had to lay them on the floor. The instructions during the workshop was not so clear. We missunderstod, and therefore started with the wrong items. At the end We Stoped in the shop but by then we left as we were so tried of standing. It you hope to sell products, arrange it in a way that makes it more ennjoyable for visiters.

unique and fun experience!

Global rating Quality/price Fun

I really liked the whole workshop and the tour at the museum, our guide was really friendly and fun, we had a great time reviewing parfums, making our own eau de toilette and I would visit again, next time I am in paris with friends.
