 typical narrow street by sue_stone
There are tiny streets that wind around between old buildings and up and down narrow steps. Some pass through arched tunnels and sometimes open onto large squares with cafes. Leave a Comment Address: Town centreDirections: Start near Fragonard Perfumery

 workers at the factory by sue_stone
One of these is Fragonard and it is also the most convenient to visit as it is located in the centre of town.
You can do a guided tour through the perfumery, which includes a very interesting talk about the job of a "Nose" (the person who comes up with new blends etc).
There is also a small museum on the premises. Leave a Comment Address: 20 Blvd Fragonard, GrassePhone: 04 93 36 44 65Directions: town centreWebsite: www.fragonard.com

 Napoleons sister, I think. by NiceLife
Anyway, for an emperor's sister, she needs to cover up a little more.
This shows all the hallmarks of a celebrity centrefold shoot - in marble. "Fantastic Princess, love, now give us a little more, a little more, thats it, lovely, now hold it there, while I get the hammer and chisel out - this may take a little time." Leave a Comment

 Place de Soeurs by NiceLife
Reputedly home to Catherine de Medici, the Italian connection following from Grasse being allied for several preceding centuries to Pisa and Genoa. Catherine introduced the fashion of perfumed gloves - designed to help shield high society from the smell of the populace, who, before the invention of the roller-ball underarm deodorant, must have been pretty whiffy .

This experience is not for people who get headaches with the faintess odor! It has to be one of the most enjoyable experiences of my trip: to create my own perfume... real perfume! not the simili make-it-yourself stuff bought in cardboard box from Coty! Galimard, one the prestigious perfume makers of Grasse offers perfume making stages of 2 to 3 hours. Spend a morning with the specialist "noses", in their perfume lab, creating your own scent, the way you like it. You will learn about "notes de fond", "notes de coeur" and "notes de tete", their families: floral, amber, oriental, musc, herbacious, etc., the quantities to use of each scent, how to mix them, what makes a great perfume, in what proportions... lots of great secrets revealed to you. Moreover, you get to name your perfume and Galimard keeps its recipy on computer files for you to be able to reorder in the future... what you will be creating is a perfume ready to go when the stage is over, but when you reorder you are free to choose from perfume, bubble bath or body lotion of the scent you've created! The stage itself plus 100ml of your creation is the price of a bottle of perfume sold on the international market. Have fun... and prepare your nose, there's a lot to smell!
