Workshop was disappointing
I didn't like the 3 scents that you can mix in the perfume workshop. All 3 smell cheap, so the final product doesn't really smell classy. But other than the workshop, the museum tour was interesting, the guide was knowledgeable, and I bought some nice fragrances.
Disappointing
The ingredients are pre-selected, we cannot choose our own. We don’t learn about how to identify notes. You only get to choose how much of each ingredient you want. 29€ seems like paying a big price for the small amount of 12ml perfume.
Loved the museum and the shop. Workshop was not as nice.
The workshop was very basic. It was more like as speech than a workshop. I didn't learn much. So I would not call it a workshop, to begin with. While I understand that fragonard may not want to give their business secrets away, but giving a basic class and some written recipes of how to create our own perfume could have helped. I did not find value in the workshop. The museum and the shop was nice, which I will recommend to friends. I am not gonna recommend the workshop.
