Don’t leave anything of value in your car

Tomasa_H, Nov 2023

We drove right from the airport to this perfume workshop. We had luggage in the car and did not feel safe leaving anything of value visible. This was not during tourist season. The parking garage had some cars locked in cages to protect from theft. So we decided to head to the hotel, which was an hour away. If our car was empty I would’ve attended. Super bummed.

Fascinating and fun!

Dianne_T, Oct 2023

My friends and I had a wonderful time at this workshop! We learned a lot about perfume and had a great time immersing ourselves in the difference scents and combining them to create our very own blends. It was interesting to see how each member of our group came up with a completely different scent that was personal to them. Our host was friendly and knowledgeable and the tour afterwards was fascinating. The setting is stunning. This was one of the highlights of my holiday. If you're looking for a uniquely French experience while visiting Grasse don't miss a visit to Molinard!

Great workshop

Lars_B, Aug 2023

Very nice building, breathing perfume history. Our workshop host helped us really well to create a perfume that we actually can use. The workshop was well prepared and everything was available to make a great perfume.

Fun and interesting

Kerstin_D, Jul 2023

Interesting and humbling to see how complex it is to create a good scent. Workshop really rewarding. Fun with teenagers too!

Fun perfume making, but not any history of perfumery or the area

Jill_C, Jun 2023

Fun perfume making experience. But it would have been nice if they gave us a little history of the perfumery or the area for a few minutes while we were making our perfume.

Le parfum-Oo la la !

The Nose Knows!

Gillian_H, May 2023

Marie was a charming and knowledgeable hostess and the one hour workshop was a delight, learning to use ‘le nez’ to identify the many different scents. Creating my own personal perfume was a delight!

Nice group activity

Pontus_W, May 2023

Workshop where you create your own parfume. Everybody had fun making their own scent. I belive they could have given us better price of their products after the event.

Noses get ready

RICHARD_J, Apr 2023

Everyone there was...

Judy_H, Feb 2023

Everyone there was delightful, happy, upbeat, and made the experience very pleasurable. Everything about the experience was very informative. It exceeded our expectations and we look forward to inviting her friends to also experience it when they’re in France.

Best money I ever spend with my family.

Very nice atmosphere, relaxed and professional. Good for families also. Beautiful scenery. Kind teacher.

Unique and Fun

Pamela_S, Jul 2022

Lovely experience, and very unique. Would recommend to anyone remotely interested in perfume. The person instructing the workshop did a great job at it, and was excellent at helping us make a beautiful fragrance out of the many scents we liked.

Nice experience -

Patricia_B, Jun 2022

Great fun for our family of 5 - youngest 18. Learned a few things and then experimented with fragrances to create our unique scent for each of us. Guide was extremely knowledgeable and helpful.

Lovely workshop

Fullah_R, Sep 2020

My parents, my brother and I took this workshop and it was great. We booked for an hour but the lady who taught us stayed for 1,5 hours. Unfortunately we booked at 05.00pm so we were not able to see the museum after but all in all it was a fund class to do!

Amazing

Elvira_M, Jul 2020

It was an amazing work shop with a very good guide . Even a child liked it . The perfume was really great and you can re order It later.

Geweldig leuke ervaring!

H_B, May 2024

Erg leuk om zelf je geurtje samen te stellen, onder begeleiding van een expert. Eenvoudig bereikbaar en gratis parkeren aan de overkant van de straat.

Eccezionale

Alice_M, Oct 2022

Il personale è molto cordiale e creare il mio profumo è stato meraviglioso! Inoltre ci è stato offerto un 20% di sconto su tutti gli articoli dello shop

Okey, men inte mer.

Cecilia_G, Aug 2022

Denna upplevelse var kul men levde inte upp till förväntningarna. Du fick gå in i ett rum och tillverka din parfym. Det var allt. Du fick inte besöka parfymfabriken och du fick inte veta någon fakta eller historia.
