Parfumeries-Fragonard Museum

Not far from the Place Vendôme, a beautiful nineteenth-century mansion houses the Musée des Parfumeries-Fragonard. The history of perfume over the last 3000 years is retraced here through a collection of flasks, porcelain scent bottles, engravings and paintings. How to distill, what kind of ingredients are used to create perfumes—this is the sort of information visitors will find out here. This museum is recommended to all those attracted by the sophisticated universe of scents.
