Informative tour
Informative tour about the history of perfume and Fragonard. I do wish we could have made our own perfume based on what we liked to smell like. Our tour only had one pre-chosen scent for everyone to make, and I did not really like this scent.
via Viator
Not fun
Not very exciting, only were given three items to blend and were told we had to use No explanation of how these items were made or connected. There were some images on the walls but they were not explained. Far too much time was given to selling their existing products without explaining how they differed or were made versus what we had played with.
Response from the operator: Dear, Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We are sorry to hear that the experience did not meet your expectations. The workshop is designed as an introduction to the olfactory pyramid, with three compositions representing the top, heart and base notes. These accords allow participants to discover how the different notes of a fragrance come together before creating and personalising their own 12 ml Eau de Toilette. We regret that the explanations provided during the workshop did not give you the level of insight you were hoping for, particularly regarding the ingredients and the fragrance-making process. Warm regards, The Fragonard Team

Perfume museum
Excellent history of perfume making. Great to do with your daughter so fun when you get to take your own perfume home with you.

Lovely experience
Really enjoyable experience- great insight into the evolution of perfume. I would've liked more time in the museum though as it felt a bit rushed. It was great to learn more about perfume and make my own version.

This was a fun thing to...
This was a fun thing to do on our "girly" day of shopping and heading to the ballet. It was a beautiful history tour of the museum, the perfum making and then a little shopping experience in the gift area. The ingredients for the perfum are limited, but they teach you how to make your "signature scent" based on the custom mixing of those ingredients to come up with unique scents for every person on the tour. It was inexpensive and educational and gave us something to bridge a gap between activities (and it's in a great location). My son and husband would have been bored, so leave the boys behind, but definitely a fun experience and great value for the cost.

Why this scores 69
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Perfume Making Class and Guided Visit of Fragonard Perfume Museum: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Paris.
How much does Perfume Making Class and Guided Visit of Fragonard Perfume Museum cost?
+
Prices start at $35 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Paris usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Perfume Making Class and Guided Visit of Fragonard Perfume Museum take?
+
Plan for about 0.8 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Paris is not rushed.
Is Perfume Making Class and Guided Visit of Fragonard Perfume Museum worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 69 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.4/5 across 267 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Paris, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Perfume Making Class and Guided Visit of Fragonard Perfume Museum?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Perfume Making Class and Guided Visit of Fragonard Perfume Museum suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 0.8-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Perfume Making Class and Guided Visit of Fragonard Perfume Museum?
+
Around 93 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Paris can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Paris and add a light layer if any part of the 0.8-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Perfume Making Class and Guided Visit of Fragonard Perfume Museum start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Paris within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Paris?
+
Paris rewards travelers who book ahead. The headline museums sell timed entry weeks out, the best food walks cap at eight people, and the Seine cruises that are worth doing are the ones that leave after sunset. Everything below is scored by the Outty Ranking so you can tell a genuine local favorite from a coach-tour filler in a single glance. On Outty we rank every Paris experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Paris City Center Free Walking Tour (Tip-Based), Louvre Museum Premium Guided Tour 6 GUESTS MAX Entry Included, Louvre Museum Essential Guided Tour Semi Private 6 GUESTS MAX. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Paris?
+
April to June and September to October, when queues thin out and terraces stay open late. Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Paris?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
What is included in Perfume Making Class and Guided Visit of Fragonard Perfume Museum?
+

Not included: Lunch; Food and drinks; and Transportation to/from attractions. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.

+

+

+
