Create your own perfume

Creating your own perfume in Paris can be an incredibly special experience! There are a few renowned perfume workshops in Paris where you can craft your unique scent under the guidance of expert perfumers.

Paris has indeed played a pivotal role in the history and evolution of perfume-making. Catherine de Medici's introduction of perfumes from Italy to France marked the beginning of a rich tradition that flourished in Paris. During the 17th century, France established itself as a hub for perfumery, with the town of Grasse becoming renowned for its flower fields and production of essential oils. Perfumers began creating unique scents for the French aristocracy, and this artistry expanded over time. The city of Paris, with its cultural allure and high society, became a center for perfume creation and innovation. Many famous perfumers and houses emerged, each contributing to the development of fragrances and setting trends that continue to influence the industry today.
