    After exploring Cannes for much of the day, our tour included a stop at Galimard at Grasse. A few days prior, we had taken a Monaco tour that included at stop at Fragonard in Eze so I had some idea of what to expect in a perfumery. A lot of extraction process and variety of flowers used is interesting and seemed similar at both perfumeries. However, different combinations are components in the final products and can smell completely different. Buying perfume at Galimard is much more worth it than Fragonard because you can still buy Fragonard at airport duty-free shops. Galimard, on the other hand, can only be purchased at the factory location whether it's at this location or another. Perfumeries like Galimard make scents for many of the most famous fashion houses/brands. Their gift shop at the end of the tour was very extensive and we got a samples sets of both the men's and women's parfums. They have everything from bath crystals to moisturizers and soaps and candles. Some of it can be a little pricey. It was about 50 euro per each set but they do last 5 years if you don't abuse the concentrated bottles you're getting. They do free guided tours if you reserve online. I thought they do free walk ins too but I'm not sure now since it's been about a month since when I was there. Perfumeries are big in this part of the country and are known the world-over. It'd be a pity to miss out visiting any of them let alone Galimard!

    The perfume capital of the world!! 5 stars to Galimard since 1747 when they first evolve as "the Nose of Choice" among Royalty and high end retailers such as Chanel, Dior, Hugo Boss, etc. Grabbed a couple samples before I left since the tour guide said these selected items would soon retail for triple once they have sold it to an outside retailer (eg, Chanel, Yves Saint Laurent, etc.) !

Personally, I feel you can skip the museum. See how few pictures there are on Yelp. There are more of the outside rather than the inside. Service - Self service. Price - 6.50 Euros; $7.50 US for the museum. Exterior = Free. Owner Comment - Congrats on all your success.

    The museum is quite small, but well laid out and maintained. Like another review mentioned, the…read moreticket price (€6.50 as of January 2024) is well worth it to climb atop the tower for an amazing 360 panoramic view of Cannes, the city, port, ocean and Alps in the North. Since Cannes is much more devoid of tourists during off-peak season, and also not particularly known for its museums, it was lovely to enjoy the tower and most of the museum by myself on a brisk sunny weekday morning. Most of the exhibits center around ethnographic findings from French explorers in the 19th century, including articles and artifacts from Oceania, Africa, and the Mediterranean. Currently another exhibition towards the back few rooms showcases paintings following Nice through its development from fishing town to bustling port city. Note the tower requires climbing up a rather steep set of stairs to a small (maybe 8x8 foot area) on top which aside from the wall of the tower doesn't have any other railing or enclosure. So not recommended for little children unless they're strapped to you. Aside from stairs there's no other access so a) if you have a mobile disability it will not be accessible, b) the staircase is quite narrow inside and because the steps are wooden planks, you can see between each step, which may make it challenging for those with a fear of heights. Separately since part of the stairs run outside the tower, and the top of the tower is not covered, if there is inclement weather access to the top may be restricted.

    This international perfume museum boasts all kinds of interesting knowledge and insights. Learn…read morethe vast history of perfume and how it came to be, how it has been used through the ages and how modern invention has helped the extraction process and creating synthetic scents like violet which cannot be extracted. From farm to bottle, learn how it's made here! And as Grasse is home to a huge perfume market, there was heavy focus on the local farms and the people who labor tirelessly in the fields to produce thousands and thousands of flowers each year- props to you! Tons of different perfume bottles, vials and holders. Vanity cases, furniture, applicators, references to perfume in movies & the importance it played in hygiene before the modern bathrooms & washing with water, were setup Plaques offered in French, English and Italian made it easy to follow along and learn a ton. Thank you for the afternoon learning about perfume. We thought we'd only be there for an hour or 2 but we found ourselves forcing a hurried departure after 3hours so we could make another appointment. We could have stayed longer!

    There is too much awesome stuff here in this museum!…read more First of all, the price is right: 6 Euro for a day pass is a steal when there's this much entertainment (1 Euro per floor!) Second, they take you through perfume making from the start to finish of manufacturing and bottling, and they show a comprehensive history of perfume and cologne! There's so much to wonder about: I found myself thinking how similar perfume making was to writing a symphony---you start with a few notes and ideas and try to mesh them in a way that people will enjoy. Nothing here is accidental. There are a few multimodal art installations as well (one where you can smell a perfume and look at art, one where you listen to a jazz song and smell perfumes, etc.) There's also a great garden where you can learn what sorts of aromatic plants and other things go into perfume. The history itself is fairly interesting, and the exhibit does a great job at holding your hand through the development of perfume over time. This is one of the coolest and most interesting museums I've been to. Thank you for the information and newfound appreciation of perfume!
