Perfumeries
Grasse has more than 30 perfumeries, creating essences sold primarily to factories (for aromatically enhanced foodstuffs and soaps) as well as to prestigious couture houses. Several perfumeries offer free tours, taking you stage by stage through the perfume production process, from extraction and distillation to the work of the ‘noses’ (perfume creators).
Situated at the foot of the old town, Fragonard is the easiest perfumery to reach on foot; the tourist office can provide information about other perfumeries.
