Theory followed by practice. Pay a visit to the Fragonard Perfume Factory in Grasse and enjoy an olfactory workshop as part of your experience.
Located south of the old Grasse town centre, the Fabrique des Fleurs was built in 1986 for the production of perfumes and soaps, since the historic factory had run out of space. As you tour the new factory, you'll discover the main stages of perfume making. You'll even learn a thing or two about the state-of-the-art production tools used to create scents.
A tour of the bottling workshops provides a glimpse of how the perfumed products that leave the factory are transformed into refined products ready to be shipped to the public. In addition to the production lines, the building houses the laboratory where the raw materials are blended to obtain concentrates of future perfumes.
