Perfume Workshop in Paris 1er with Molinard

This perfume workshop in Paris 1er is a short, hands-on introduction to how a scent is built. In 45 minutes, with an expert beside you, you play at being a perfumer and put together a fragrance that is yours alone.

The house behind it is Molinard, a family business founded in 1849 and run through five generations in Grasse. Its expert explains how a perfume is structured and which ingredients go into it, and how some of them complement one another while others contrast.

Then comes the creative part: you choose among 40 essences and create a scent that suits your style. You leave with your own 30 ml eau de parfum and a diploma.

• The workshop with a perfume expert
• A 30 ml bottle of eau de parfum, made by you
• A diploma

Drinks and food are not included. The workshop is open from age 10 and children under 10 cannot join.
