Traveler reviews
Helena Smith
★★★★★3 months agoNice free museum to visit if you are interested in the perfume history. The exhibition isn’t very big. Friendly staff, free audio guide and a free sample after filling out a short form. Nice atmosphere and very educational. Definitely would recommend if you have a spare hour and would like to spend it in a pleasant place.

★★★★★4 weeks agoI enjoyed this lovely museum. Although it’s petit, it has a nice charm that was also informative. I loved the different fragrances at the store in the end. It’s air conditioned and also has a restroom. I say it’s worth the visit and the best part- it’s free.
