Really a fun experience- Van was a pleasure to work with and really helped us pick our perfect fragrances!
Max was very knowledgable and patient with us and taught us everything that we needed to know. I learned something new and came home with an amazing souvenir.
I loved the chance to create my own scent! There were tons of options to choose from and they were very knowledgeable and helpful in guiding you through the process. The only thing negative was it did feel a little rushed at times. I would prefer if they gave you an additional 15 to 20 minutes, especially since there are so many scents to go through.
Perfume making was so much fun ! Both my husband and I enjoyed it and would absolutely recommend to our friends
Granddaughters (11,17) and I did this together. Learning about how perfumes are created and then making our own based upon our own preferences.Amazing!!!
This was so much fun for my adult daughter and I. It was interesting how you mix the scents to make the fragrance you really like. The instructor was terrific!
My 16 year old daughter and I really enjoyed this experience. We made it a girls afternoon and loved crafting our own unique scents. It was so interesting to learn how perfume is made, test all the different scents and bring home a unique souvenir from our time in Paris. Molinard was high quality from start to finish.
Wonderful experience. I don’t wear perfume and don’t particularly care for it but the scent I created is amazing. It was created by me for me. I’m obsessed with it.
What a fun and informative thing to do! You choose from about 100 scents that you narrow down to your top 10 favorites and blend with other fragrances to make the scent that fits you best! Max and Lauryne were so helpful and patient, and offered helpful suggestions when they were needed. Then you get to bring home a small bottle of your creation!
It was a wonderful experience for my granddaughter and I to share. She truly enjoyed creating f her fragrance.
My group had a wonderful time with this perfume experience. The two women running it could not have been kinder. We all would have loved if this was an hour and a half experience as there was so much to learn, and so many scents to test with the wide variety of options, nonethless this got an A+ in all areas. Thank you, we will try it again when we return to Paris next year.
This was spectacular! Our perfume making professional was awesome, and hugely helpful. She offered opinions and helped out when people needed guidance. I can't wait for my perfume to cure so I can use it!! Only drawback is that it's so hot here right now and the space isn't air conditioned. I was sweating so bad I had to use paper towels to clean the sweat off my face... with asthma, felt like I might pass out from the heat. More fans would be a great idea. Weather definitely wasn't their fault... so this still gets a 5-star! Have fun!!
Fun and so niche ! Went with my 11 yo daughter and learned so much ! Person leading the group also was lovely - my bottle spilled after I halfway mixed it (!!!) and she was able to reformulate it perfectly! 5/5 stars
A bit on the expensive side. Good activity indoor with elementary school kids. Don’t love my perfume in the end but I suppose more about the experience. The instructors seemed very classic French / not super friendly.
Excellent experience, so unique to create your own customized perfume. The woman leading our workshop was kind and helpful and the overall experience was definitely one of a kind! So happy I did this, I brought my 12 year old daughter with me and she had the time of her life!
Informative and fun! We had a private room tucked away behind shop with a beautiful courtyard. Teacher was super sweet and we had a great time!!
Was so much fun, highly recommend. Was a great experience, nothing we would have done before and now we have a perfume to remember our holiday by
My mom and I did the 1.5 hour class. There were a lot of scents to choose from. We were done half an hour early which was fine; but it didn’t feel like we got very much education regarding perfume.
Was amaizing! very complete, informative, fun, and you take your own perfume. The place is beautiful too
If you like perfume and you love French perfume, this is truly an incredible experience. The instruction is interesting and clear, the teacher superb, and the scents heavenly. She walks you through how perfume is constructed and how to choose the layers of scent that ultimately make up your own perfume. Then she tells you the specific amounts of each note and you make and bottle it. I cannot recommend this highly enough and promise that it’s worth every penny (and more, frankly). If you’re thinking about buying a bottle of French perfume, invest and make your own. You won’t regret it.
I did this experience with my 10 year grand daughter and we both loved it. The directions were given in french and then english. The instructor was helpful and very experienced. It was both a fun and informative class. Plus we now have a bottle of our unique fragrance with the option of getting more if we want. A fabulous experience.
Fun activity. The instructor was very knowledgeable and helpful. Venue was well set up.and organized. It is easy to do and accessible . I love that you can reorder the perfume
Don’t wear perfume beforehand. Know your likes and dislikes regarding perfumes. Thoroughly enjoyable
We really enjoyed this experience. We don’t speak French so we were grateful our guide spoke English and walked us through the steps. She was patient and helpful. My daughter and I loved it and were very happy with the souvenir we had to take home.
It was a lot of fun, we got an in depth experience and explanation of how everything works. Every step was well explained and very easy to follow.
Small group. Lots of individual attention and support given. The discount in the shop was a lovely touch
Very cool experience but person who led it was a little mean and short when we tried to ask questions
Exquisite! Enjoyed it a lot. Cozy atmosphere, very nice employees, unique fragrances. I would definitely repeat the experience.
We had a wonderful time at the Molinard perfume workshop. My husband, our two boys, and I all enjoyed the experience. The workshop gave us the chance to create scents that smell better than anything we’ve ever purchased. It was a fun, memorable activity, and now we have custom fragrances we can reorder in the future. A lasting memory for our family.
This was a really fun way to spend an afternoon with my 3 daughters. Although overwhelming to smell so many scents in a small amount of time, we had a lot of fun creating our perfume and talking about the different mixes.
