A museum where you can discover the secrets of perfume-making in a fun and interactive way

Opened in 2015, this perfume museum is sure to delight lovers of fine fragrances. Behind this fascinating tour lies the scent of the renowned Parfumerie Fragonard, a family-run business founded in 1926 in Grasse, a mecca for the French perfume industry. The perfumery was named after Jean-Honoré Fragonard (1732-1806), the famous painter to Louis XV, whose father was a Grasse perfume-maker. The collections presented in the museum were assembled in the 1960s by Jean-François Costa, father of the current directors, Françoise and Agnès Costa. They brought together an ensemble of decorative art linked to the art of perfume, enriching the Maison Fragonard with a cultural and museum dimension. Following on from the rue Scribe museum and the Capucines theater-museum, this is an original, didactic museum that reveals all the secrets of perfume. The premises lend themselves to such a display. The Musée du Parfum is housed in the former Eden Théâtre, an Orientalist-style building that was later partially demolished and converted into a velocipedean merry-go-round. Restructured to house the museum, the space retains the decorative vocabulary associated with 19th-century industrial modernity, combining stucco, Eiffel beams, glass paving, brick walls and an elegant glass roof. Magnificent bottle collections. Lately, the museum has even extended to Rue Scribe. An unusual visit that lasts around 30 minutes - and it's free!
