Prestige Perfume Workshop (Private) in Grasse

Josep Maria C, Jun 2022

I just attended the 'Prestige Workshop'. Highly recommended,and if you can afford it, go for that 2h course over the shorter ones, as time just flies by and it is so absorving you just forget about it. Everything just perfect, great setup and ambience, huge selection of materials to choose from (all predilluted to edp so you can readily prepare your perfume) and some drinks and gourmanderies to keep the creative flow ;) the perfumist is a top professional, I was just blown away when she started suggesting combinations of strips of my preferred components, each one was a potentially great perfume, all of them unique and full of personality. I couldn't keep her name but I was absolutely impressed. You end up with a gorgeously presented package with your own perfume and a diploma :)

Had a great time here with my wife. We had a lovely experience with Paula who gave us the background on the process and was super helpful in putting together frangrances that we enjoyed. I enjoyed it much more than I expected as fragrances are not really my thing but in the end would definitely recommend.

As a novice, Paula, our parfum instructor, could not have been more welcoming and insightful in our VIP Perfume workshop. My partner and I did not know what to expect as we were overwhelmed by the many gorgeous glass bottles in front of us, but she explained to us what it involved. We went in depth in conversation on how certain scents evoke pleasant memories from our past subconsciously & consciously and how it takes years of development and trial and error to learn that skill. So using her years of expertise, she was able to lead us in the right direction in creating our signature scent. She explained so much in depth which made in enjoyable and helped us achieve a very successful scent. It was to my surprise how much I adore the scent we created and how big of a bottle we received at the end. I honestly could never have dreamt up a better scent and I could not have done it without the passion and expertise of Paula. Thank you Paula and the Molinard team that day. Our friends loved the soaps and solid parfums we brought back for them.

One last tip if you decide to book this: Don't go in trying to create a scent you already have in mind, go in with reckless abandon and be open to exploring scents you never knew existed.

Spend your money at Fragonard instead.

The biggest problem I have with this experience is that the quality of the essences used in the final product isn’t very high, so that the perfume is weak. Mine hardly lasts an hour on my skin. The “workshop” was basically us sniffing essences and picking what we liked — no history about or training about how perfume is made.

Lastly, our workshop was supposed to include champagne and savories and sweets, but all we got was an espresso and a cookie. I wouldn’t care about this if I loved the perfume I made —. But all in all it was a terribly disappointing experience.

Très bonne accueil, personnel très impliqué et souriante. Je suis ravie de cette ballade et histoire sur les parfums avec plus de connaissance en sortant. L’atelier est une vraie découverte avec en prime ton parfum que tu as créé. Une matinée embaumée des effluves de parfums 🥰🥰
