"The Science of Smell Fragonard is among the best-known parfumeurs in France ; its history dates back to 1926, when the company was founded by Eugène Fuchs who named it after the painter Jean-Honoré Fragonard. There are several locations across Paris , but the one near the Opera is the most fun to visit, as it's actually a (free) museum showing the art of perfume-making, as well as a shop where you can buy Fragonard products. Be sure to check out the historic orgue à parfums , a multi-tiered collection of bottles resembling a church organ that were used to mix fragrances."
