  • The Paris perfume museum opened in 1983 in a Napoleon III-style town house built in 1860.

Did you know?

  • The museum grew out of a collection of fragrance-related objects begun in 1947.
  • Fragonard is still a family business, run by Agnès and Françoise Costa, great-granddaughters of Eugène Fuchs.

Tour manager tips

  • Fragonard has more than one museum address in Paris – confirm the exact one with the driver before setting off.
  • Rooms are compact, so move through in small groups and let everyone see the displays.
  • The streets outside are busy – keep bags closed and phones secure.
