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.

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!

    Ok experience indoors with kids

    barbara_w, Apr 2026
    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...

    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!!

    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

    A dream perfume experience

    Rebecca_J, Nov 2025
    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.

    Create your own scent

    VickiT, Nov 2025
    Don’t wear perfume beforehand. Know your likes and dislikes regarding perfumes. Thoroughly enjoyable

    Great experience

    Tiffany_C, Sep 2025
    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.

    Highly recommend

    Zachary_S, Aug 2025
    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

    J_S, Jul 2025
    Very cool experience but person who led it was a little mean and short when we tried to ask questions

    Exquisite

    Diana_T, Jul 2025
    Exquisite! Enjoyed it a lot. Cozy atmosphere, very nice employees, unique fragrances. I would definitely repeat the experience.

    Fun, Unique, and Worth It!

    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...

    Erica_M, Jun 2025
    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.

    Create your own custom fragrance!

    Terri_B, Jun 2025
    There were two tables of about six people per table. You are able to choose from a wide variety of scents to select three top notes, three middle notes, and four base notes. The ladies supervising the class previewed each note’s compatibility as you selected them. They then decided how much of each, and you added the scents to a bottle using a pipette. It was a fun and very interesting experience. My granddaughter and I are happy with our bespoke perfume!

    So much fun with teens

    Jessica_B, Jun 2025
    This was so much fun as an experience outing. We learned a lot. But had a lot of fun sharing favorite scents, helping each other test combinations, and being able to take home the end product.

    Awesome Family Activity!!!

    Catherine_K, Jun 2025
    The Molinard Perfume Making class was an absolute unique must-do during our trip! Gabrielle, our instructor, was an amazing guide who made the process of creating our unique scent so easy and informative. There were a wide variety of scents to choose from, and we had the freedom to make our perfume truly our own. Overall, it was an incredibly fun and memorable experience, and I highly recommend it to anyone looking for a unique and enjoyable activity.

    You really can have your own custom perfume. I love mine.

    Carolyn_D, Jun 2025
    One star is off because the women running it seem sort-of half-involved but she was absolutely a perfume expert. You sit with others and not so much a perfume organ, but a gigantic spinning thing on the table with top notes, mid notes, and base notes, and an instruction by her about how to compose. Note, she encourages a complex perfume, so it's not 3 notes, it's quite a bit more, and she helps you math it to create your own smell. She told me adding too much basil as a top note would be too spicy and she was right! I love my smell that smells like, but also, you can absolutely order your smell later. They save your concoction in their records. Absolutely thrilled with the result. And my friend Keith was going to make one for his mom, but instead made a lovely dark fruit smell for himself.

    Excellent, unique thing...

    Peter_S, May 2025
    Excellent, unique thing to do in Paris. We loved the experience and look forward to wearing our own parfum when we get back home. The instructor, education, and experience were all sublime. Thank you.

    Learn how fragrances are...

    SHARON_W, May 2025
    Learn how fragrances are made, then mix and make your own. Fragrances need to ‘rest’ for one week before using!

    Excellent class!!! Teacher was extremely friendly and knowledgeable. Would highly recommend to anyone wanting to have a unique experience

    Pefume workshop

    Trish, Apr 2025
    great experince just a bit expensive for what you get. We booked a class in English but it was conducted in French with a brief translation for us which was disappointing

    Must do!

    Brittany_C, Apr 2025
    This was so fun! I thought it might be cheesy or not as “intensive” but we learned a lot about how perfume is built, and were able to pick three top notes, three heart notes and four bottom notes. The person leading our class was so helpful! Can’t recommend enough!

    Molinard perfume creation class

    Chris_F, Apr 2025
    Be on time. The class was held on English and French concurrently. My daughter and I had so much fun making our own scents. We actually love them! You will choose base notes, middle notes, and high notes. I would suggest marking which is which, because I had to back track when I couldn’t remember which was which.

    Great experience , the perfume turned out amazing! Very small group felt very exclusive. Lovely and knowledgeable host, beautiful setting.

    Fun experience

    Katarzyna_J, Nov 2024
    So fun to create perfume, such a unique experience. Loved it so much! Once you create your scent, this perfume boutique can recreate it for you when you wish more. Brilliant!!!

    A unique experience for perfume enthusiasts

    Farah_U, Oct 2024
    A unique experience to try in Paris. The fragrances can be overwhelming at times, but if you enjoy perfume, this is a fun way to make your own signature perfume. The instructor was helpful and was able to guide us when we couldn’t decide which scents we preferred.
