Take the guided tour in addition to visiting the museum dedicated to the Molinard House, you will then be rewarded by going to the shop with your guide. You will choose to please yourself (or not) by buying products in knowledge ....

We are delighted to have made the tour. The guide was friendly and professional. We were able to smell fragrances and do some olfactory tests. The building is of a splendor and the quality of perfumes is exceptional. Parking is easy to access. Recommended!

Excellent time with guided tour of the Molinard house. The building is beautiful and the perfumes are amazing but very expensive.

Unfortunately, a waste of money! I deliberately chose a short session for my 13 year old daughter and me but even she thought it was very poor value for money! The actual session was less than 10min with no explanation or introduction to the perfume industry or history of Molinard. The actual perfume making was nice enough but very limited - we were rushed in and rushed out. Not even a simple label for the bottle! The location is not convenient to the centre of town so all-in-all, a waste of time, money and effort! Sadly, I would not recommend.

Very professional and educational visit. Group of 40 people. Disappointing purchase because 3/4 full roll-up. Zero returns from the service concerned.
Interesting visit

Interesting visit to the Fragonard Perfume Factory – The Historic Factory. The information is enriching overall, but ambient noise sometimes makes listening difficult. The guide was dynamic, but placed a lot of emphasis on profitability and business aspects, to the detriment of manufacturing techniques that deserved more attention. Since the museum is free, it remains a good discovery, but we stay a little hungry for immersion in the know-how.
Disappointing, absolutely not didactic

Arrived about 1 hour before the workshop scheduled at 3:30 p.m. to make a small guided free tour, to get in the mood and acquire some notions for the workshop (35€/person). It is the All Saints holidays, unfortunately no one to visit us, so visit free and poor despite what is mentioned on the website: "The free 25-minute tour is available every 20 minutes, from 10:00 to 12:00 and from 14:00 to 17:00." No audio guides are available, however the website says "Audio guides are available in French, English, Spanish, Italian and German." We enter for the workshop, our group has 4 people and another group of 2 people. One person in my group is very disappointed with its composition, the accompanist was absolutely unable to listen and imposed her ideas. The concept remains fun and well thought out, a little too "simple" maybe.... In our case, too little explanation and support. That's what lowers the rating. I spent time choosing which house to do this kind of workshop in....would I have had more satisfaction elsewhere? This is one of the most expensive workshops for this format
Well-being with a thousand scents...to leave with its perfume creation is a very pleasant experience and a beautiful memory

Beautiful guided tour of the historic factory followed by the discovery of the shop in the mansion absolutely magnificent! The hostesses are welcoming, present the house Molinard and their perfumes while exchanging with people, in a very educational way and give us the feeling of making the visit only for us. It was a very good time that I highly recommend.
Great experience
