Molinard Perfumery Paris first district

Molinard is one of the oldest and most prestigious names in the fragrance world. This French perfume house was founded in 1849 and continues to be a family-run business, five generations later, giving it a real sense of heritage. Visiting Molinard Perfumery’s flagship store in the heart of Paris, just a stone’s throw from the Louvre, is like stepping into an art museum. This is no ordinary ‘shop’, it’s a space that celebrates its perfumes like they’re pieces of art. The stone-vaulted cellar hosts workshops where the history and expertise of perfume-making come to life. Professional perfumers help you sort your crisp top notes from your woody base notes, creating your own signature perfume to take home. Small-group workshops, private experiences and bespoke sessions for children are hosted within the store’s luxurious walls, too.
