French Riviera: Create Your Own Perfume in Grasse Workshop

Experience this charming workshop in a fine perfume house in Grasse. Grasse is considered to be the world capital of perfume making, home to special flowers like myrtle, lavender, roses, orange flowers, mimosas and of course jasmine. Actually it is here that mythical perfumes have been created for houses like Dior or Chanel, who by the way, has its own rose fields!  During this workshop you will be helped by a professional nose assistant, you will get to make your own perfume in one of the most famous perfume houses in France!

Originally brought to fame by its tannery and glove making industries, Grasse developed a unique skill in the 16th century: that of perfuming unpleasant-smelling gloves! Thanks to a conducive climate, local farmers began to grow and distill many plant varieties and sell their fragrant essences. In fact, the perfume making expertise grew little by little and the town began to import new plants from throughout the world, offering new scents, such as jasmine. In the 18th century, backed by a solid reputation, the people of Grasse abandoned their tanneries and began to specialize in perfumery.

During this workshop you will become an apprentice perfume maker and design your own perfume. You will be hosted by a professional and take your creation away in an elegant personalized bottle.
