Summary: This was such a fun experience. You get to smell all sorts of notes, with a clear explanation at the beginning, and after picking your favorites the guide is like a wizard helping you mix notes to create your custom scent. Our guide Lea was amazing!

Summary: Really enjoyed this tour. The building and grounds are beautiful. Grasse was such a quaint town. The workshop was great. We could smell as many different notes as we wanted and could ultimately choose our favorites. The leader of the workshop helped us with ratios of which note would be best for the overall product. Loved that we could take the beautiful perfume home, they saved the formula for possible reorder, and we got 20% off purchases from the retail store. Even people in our group that don’t normally love perfume had a great time.

Summary: We were able to walk to the premises from the Best Western Hotel Grasse. The staff were friendly and were able to assist us through the perfume course in spoken English. The product we created was excellent and a perfect souvenir of our visit to Grasse.
