Perfume in Paris
Perfume and Paris are synonomous. I love French perfume, and now wear it exclusively. My fragrance of choice is Poème by Lancôme. Last year I bought a lovely perfume by Fragonard, Rose de Mai, and I was very disappointed when it ran out well before my projected trip. I bought my daughter a whole selection of Fragonard perfumes. Her favourite was Soleil.
Fragonard
As well as their boutique, there is a most interesting Perfume Museum (Musée du Parfum) one can visit.
9 rue Scribe 75009, Paris
Getting there: Opéra (lines 3, 7, 8)
Opening hours: Mon-Sat 9 am to 6 pm; Sun and holidays: 9 am to 5 pm
Caron
So exclusive they don’t have opening hours on their website; I think you have to call if you want to buy! They have perfume fountains where you can bottle your own perfume. That would be a sight to see.
