"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."

We had some time to spend before our show at the Opera, it was cold outside. This was a good diversion for my family and an opportunity to learn about something new. We enjoyed the collection. The staff was friendly, the bathrooms were nice and clean. The gift shop was a great place to pick up a souvenir. There is a coupon on the website that is worth printing out and using.

What a lovely little museum! They have really good explanations for the exhibition, and a beautiful collection. Free of charge and if you go when the museum opens, there are hardly any other visitors. The shop is super cute and a great place to find some souvenirs. Going through the museum takes about an hour, the staff is super friendly and the location is great. I can only recommend.

A lot of words have been said about this museum. If you do love parfumerie you wanna learn as much as possible about history of perfume making, noses, production of its glasses, notes etc. Here you got another opportunity to learn about it for free. It’s not only informative, fun but also aesthetically pleasing. My only recommendation-do not neglect QR codes.

A delightful, free museum perfect for perfume enthusiasts to explore the rich history of fragrances. Each section features a QR code, allowing visitors to enjoy an audio description, available in English as well. A must-visit for anyone intrigued by the world of scents.

I enjoyed my perfume making class, yes they pre pick the notes for you but it is a great lesson non the less. You are greeted by a guide that speaks the language of your choice. You are then taken through the museum to learn about different perfumes and how they were used in history. Then we have our class and at the end you have the opportunity to smell different perfumes and buy what you like.

Guided tour of perfume museum was quite interesting. They just didn't explain perfume making process, but also explained the history of perfume making . Different components of perfume making were explained well, and in the end boutique had vast variety of perfume to purchase.

Great place to visit if you want to know about perfume history. Opt in for their perfume workshop and you will end up making your signature aroma

Not worth the time. We visited this place as part of a touring group. They did a 30 mins session for us, walking us through the different rooms, and the history. I felt it was more of the history of their brand, rather than perfumery in general. Not a museum. We spent 15 of the 30 mins at the shop, testing different fragrances but didn’t buy any. The lady who conducted the info session was sweet, but I felt the overall visit was not worth the time.
