Fragonard is an exclusive perfume manufacturer whose products can only be purchased in France and a few select stores outside the country.

The Fragonard Perfumerie tour proves very interesting for people who like to know how things are made and where they come from. Learning what flowers, animals and other things the perfumes’ and colognes’ essence scents are made from is shocking, considering that most people regularly spray these things on themselves!

The best part for most people is probably the opportunity to buy perfume from the Factory Store at about one third of the retail price. The discounted price is one ounce (30 mL) for 33 Euros as of 2007. Larger sizes are available, and purchasing 5 more more units results in a quantity discount.

Fragonard Perfumeries (official site) of France are one of the country’s more well known brands with their company based in Grasse, the home of their original factory and the ‘Perfume Capital of the World’. Fragonards has since expanded into Eze and Paris.

Fragonards is great perfume made in France. Fragonards is a well known brand and Contiki have been coming here for many years.

France is all about its beauty and beautiful smells are what French perfume is all about. For a souvenir you don’t have to worry about size, and its tiny to pack. It only takes about an hour and that’s with time to shop. You’ll learn something and leave smelling nice.

  1. I personally couldnt go in the factory since all of those smells would give me a headache like you couldnt believe! If you too opt to not go, its located on a cliff edge in a cute little town – There are trails around the general area and lots of nice shops and eateries, so dont be afraid to go explore!

  2. Another good fragrance for guys is ‘Suivez-Moi’ – which means in English, ‘follow me’. Then leave the rest to you rimagination! Girls try the ‘Bele de Nuit’ – ‘beauty of the night’.

  3. Two words: Sugar scrub! It’s awesome, makes you feel human again after being on the road.
