Musée du Parfum

The Musée du Parfum, also known as the Fragonard Musée du Parfum, is a private perfume museum in Paris's ninth arrondissement. It is housed in a historic townhouse from 1860, built in the style of the Napoleon III era. The rooms are furnished with period-style furniture and hold a collection of antique perfume bottles, containers, toiletry sets, and stills used for steam distillation. You can explore the history of perfume making and packaging and see how fragrances are produced today. One particular highlight is a perfume organ, where the ingredient bottles are arranged around a scale used for blending scents.
