A trip to the land of perfume!
Today, I became a perfumer's "nose"! And yes, by going to Maison Molinard in Grasse, I was able to discover the secrets of tarinology and create my own custom perfume. Discover my day in Grasse!

How to create your own perfume?

This workshop lets you discover the ingredients and essences used to make a fragrance, and what's more, it lets you create your own.
In fact, it's in this perfumers' house dating back to 1849 (yes, yes, I'm spreading my culture!) that we offer this highly original concept.
I loved smelling and selecting floral notes to finally compose the "flacon" that suits me best.
Don't worry, Céline is here to guide you 🙂

Who can tell me the story of Parfum?

After this sensory workshop, I headed off to the Musée International de la Parfumerie. The ideal place to learn all about perfume!
With this museum steeped in history, I was able to discover the originality of the work of the manufacturers and the major perfume houses.

Museum of Grasse : the MIP

Visit to the Perfumery Museum

 

Where to smell and discover aromatic plants?

I invite you to continue your visit not far from there, with the Jardins du MIP in Mouans-Sartoux: it's a very pleasant walk where you'll discover an impressive number of flowers used in perfumery, as well as aromatic and medicinal plants.

For your information, exhibitions are held every year at the Jardins du MIP in Mouans-Sartoux.
