Fun visit - interesting - This was an interesting tour. I learned a lot about the perfume making process, and the workshop portion was very interesting as well. Our guide was very involved, and spent a lot of time with each one of us, showing us how we could make our own personal blend what time? which was lots of fun. The opportunity to buy at the end was of course expected. There were lots of lovely products in their gift shop but folks who are taking the tour need to be aware that they will absolutely be offered the “opportunity” to buy at the end. It was not a high pressure sales thing at all.

A fun way to learn about perfume! - The factory tour in Grasse was very interesting and not too long (this is a fairly small place; not a large facility)You will see some stills used in the past for distilling fragrances and the modern way for fragrance development. The short class where you make your own small bottle of eau de toilette is based on what is Fragonard’s fragrance of the year, and you mix the 3 foundations to your preference. I booked the English speaking tour, and our guide was an enthusiastic young woman- it was me plus 20 or so German chemistry major high school students! One of the highlights of our Provence trip.

Good place for those who like perfumes! - It's a crowded place full of visitors who come by here to see and buy perfume. Our tourgroup came by here around 4pm and the shop was busy. The store was bright and nice. After waiting a while, a staff accompanied our group and brought us on an introductory tour, where we had to walk down a flight of stairs to the basement, where we were shown how perfume was made and the history of the store over the years. It was eye-opening experience for us. However as mentioned, there were many visitors and tour groups and so during our walk-about, tour groups clashed with one another, and also a lot of noises and interference from the other groups and that made it difficult for us to listen clearly to our guide. After this tour, we were brought to a big hall with several counters, where the guide would give out several samples of different perfumes for us to "smell". This is the place as if like a departmental store, there were so many perfumes around or related products on display. At this point, the guide would "hard sell" the bottles of perfume, as a bundle or promo package. Unless you are a fan of perfume or one who like perfume, you will it interesting or it maybe a little boring or irritating if you are sensitive towards the various smells or fragrances. And you exit on the right with washrooms on the side and by then, the store was already closed and we were the last tourgroup to leave! Overall, an interesting experience.

Pay attention to the address! - Be Careful. There are two Fragonard locations in Grasse. It was hard to find the address on our ticket and we ended up at the wrong one. By the time we got a taxi and made it to the right location we missed our tour. They were very accommodating and got us on another one right away.

Interesting perfume factory experience - Lovely experience with knowledgeable staff. Only issue was finding it - we walked uphill for 50 minutes from the train station only to find we were in the wrong factory! So we spent £20 in a taxi going back down the hill to the correct place! The address needs to be clearer on the booking.
