Musée du Parfum Fragonard
A stone's throw from the Opéra Garnier, the Perfume Museum occupies a Napoleonic mansion where the Fragonard house reveals the secrets of perfumery: stills, antique bottles, perfume organs and raw materials from Antiquity to the present day.
The free guided tour ends with an olfactory game that delights visitors of all ages. It is also one of the few Parisian museums where you can leave with an "apprentice perfumer" workshop experience.
Tip: allow 45 minutes. Combine with the Opéra Garnier and the covered passages of the 9th arrondissement. The perfume creation workshop must be booked in advance.
