If you’re traveling to the South of France and like me, you may be wondering: where can I go to perfume making in Nice?!?! When I visited Nice, France for a week along with several spots on the French Riviera, I took a day trip to the nearby hilltop village of Eze, France for one particular reason: to visit the Fragonard Perfume Factory! While there are multiple Fragonard Perfume experiences to take in Grasse and Paris in addition to Eze, truly there is something for everyone no matter where in France you may be traveling to especially in and around Nice! This guide will walk you through my visit and experience at The Fragonard Perfume Factory in Eze.

My Experience

Where To Do Perfume Making In Nice, France

There are several spots where you can do perfume making in and around Nice. If you’re looking for an option in the city, Molinard Parfums offers a variety of workshops, including a Discovery Perfumes Workshop and Classic Perfume Workshop. However, if you want a more affordable option close to the city with a perfume factory tour, then I would highly recommend opting to visit the medieval hilltop village of Eze and spending a couple of hours at the Fragonard Perfume Factory with a complimentary perfume. Fragonard also has a perfume factory in Grasse, France that is a half-day small group tour option from Nice.

Where To Book

From personal experience, I highly recommend using a website such as GetYourGuide to book all of your activities and excursions when traveling. That way, you can keep all of your activities, bookings, and reservations in one central location.

Know Before You Go

 

Before taking part in your *very own* perfume making experience, here are a few things to keep in mind to ensure you have the best experience possible:

• Perfume Making experiences will give you some perfume to take home. Depending on the experience, the amount of perfume you will get will vary. Typically, the more perfume you take home, the most expensive it will cost you. Be sure to compare your own experiences of interest if that is something that’s important to you before booking. 
• Upon booking your experience, be sure to book it in the language that you are most comfortable with. Since many perfume making experiences (such as at Fragonard) attract visitors from all across the globe, you want to be sure that you book your experience in the language that is best suited for you and your group. 
• It is highly recommended that you book your perfume making Nice, France experience in advance, as they can and will sell out especially during peak tourist season like in the Summer time.
• While most make your own perfume experiences are typically intended for an hour or less time-wise, they may take longer so be prepared to set aside a few hours for it and some shopping, too.
• After your perfume making experience, enjoy shopping within the perfumery’s shop as well and support them! 

Fragonard Perfume Factory Eze

Dating back to 1968, The Fragonard Perfume Factory in Eze gives visitors a glimpse into the brand’s perfume factory as well as its Cosmetic laboratory with an opportunity to make your own perfume.  What’s super unique about Fragonard’s business model and was mentioned within my tour is that Fragonard does not use extensive marketing or third party retailers such as Sephora or other department stores. Fragonard focuses its energy on curating the best fragrances, soaps, skincare, and overall high-quality products to sell to consumers. Fragonard is also a family-owned business with locations, as previously mentioned, in Grasse and Paris in addition to Eze. 

Fragonard offers group tours of their factory and cosmetic labs as well as their perfume making class. The group aspect makes it such a wonderful and interactive way to take it all in.

My Experience

My perfume making class at Fragonard’s Factory in Eze was such a fun and unique experience! Not only do you learn a ton about different scents like lavender, lilac, and rose and where they originate from, but you also get to take part in an interactive perfume making class with others. You make your own perfume and learn about the unique stories behind the Fragonard business, the cosmetic labs, and what goes into making a perfume. After my perfume making class, my group got to immerse ourselves into the cosmetic labs and then learn more about several perfumes that Fragonard sells within their shop, which was such a unique experience! 

My perfume making group tour was offered in English, however, there are several other tours offered in different languages which are super cool. Many of my fellow group mates were either traveling solo (like myself!) or in a small group, and it was such a welcoming and fun environment for all whomever you came with (even if solo!). Tours of the Fragonard Factory in Eze are offered every 15-30 minutes and upon arrival it is easy to get immersed into your tour group when they are ready to begin. 

After my tour and perfume making experience, I *of course* did a bit of shopping and grabbed some perfumes as a souvenir. The Fragonard shop is also a great spot to pick up gifts for loved ones, too (suticase-permitting!!). 

Wrap-Up

Not only is perfume making in Nice such a unique way to remember a memorable trip, but also a great way to bring back something for yourself and for loved ones, too.
