Museum Ticket & Perfume Making Experience
The Highlight
Museum Admission Visitors can admire a vast collection of about 3,600 fragrance-related items, including historic perfume bottles from ancient times to Art Nouveau and Art Deco periods, incense burners, and distillation tools. The exhibits cover the history and science of fragrances worldwide, with English signage and scent sampling stations featuring rare natural perfumes. The museum also includes a shop selling fragrance products and an Italian café.
Perfume-Making Workshop The hands-on workshop lasts about 30 to 40 minutes and is guided by instructors. Participants select from over 30 nostalgic and refreshing scents, including top, middle, and base notes, to blend their own unique perfume. The process involves testing and mixing scents to create a 30ml of custom perfume, which can be taken home as a memorable souvenir. The museum stores each participant’s recipe, allowing them to reorder the same scent later by phone or email
