The Perfume Museum in Grasse: Immerse yourself in the history of Fragonard

Did you know? Tanning was an iconic production in Grasse and its surrounding areas several centuries ago, long before perfume. It was to mask the smell of tanned leather that people began to work on creating perfumes. Glovemakers, who previously dedicated themselves to creating gloves and other leather products, then became glove-perfumers. The fields where May roses and jasmine were already harvested expanded, and other essences were added to those already cultivated in this geographical area. Known for its quality leather, Grasse gradually became the essential perfume capital of Europe, and perhaps even the world.
Fragonard is a major perfume house in Grasse. Known for its fragrances inspired by flowers, plants, and Provence, Fragonard boasts its own museum. If you didn't know yet, you'll also discover that Jean-Honoré Fragonard, an illustrious member of the family, was a renowned painter.
The heart and base notes, as well as the most famous essences, will no longer hold any secrets for you after your visit to the famous Fragonard Museum in Grasse. The boutique also offers some shopping opportunities.
