Itinerary
Day 1
A relaxed spring afternoon in Grasse designed for couples, with time to savor local cuisine and sensory experiences before the 100% natural perfume workshop at golden hour.
Lunch — La Bastide Saint-Antoine (romantic set or terrace)
Start your day with a relaxed, intimate lunch at La Bastide Saint-Antoine — a refined Provençal restaurant with a romantic atmosphere (reserve a terrace or window table if you can).
Tips from local experts:
- Reserve a table in advance and request a terrace/window seat for light and view — perfect for a romantic photo.
- Mention dietary restrictions when booking — the kitchen is used to adapting the tasting dishes.
- May is mild: ask for an outside table to enjoy jasmine-scented breezes; bring a light layer for evenings.
Leisurely stroll through Vieille Ville (Old Town)
Wander hand-in-hand through the cobbled lanes of Grasse's Old Town — discover small squares, hidden viewpoints and perfumer boutiques lining the streets.
Tips from local experts:
- Walk slowly and let the scents guide you — in May jasmine and orange blossom perfume the air in side streets.
- Wear comfortable shoes (cobblestones and short flights of steps are common) and pause often for photos at sunlit viewpoints.
- Pop into small artisan shops for local souvenirs; buy one small scent to remember the stroll.
Musée International de la Parfumerie — quick cultural visit
A compact, romantic cultural stop to learn about Grasse's perfume history and see exhibits on natural raw materials — perfect context before your workshop.
Tips from local experts:
- Aim for a one-hour visit focusing on the traditional raw materials and perfumery history to leave energy for the workshop.
- Ask at reception about an audio guide or short guided highlights — it saves time and deepens the shared experience.
- The museum is step-free in parts (ask staff about accessible routes); pick quieter galleries for intimate moments.
Short transfer / walk to the meeting point (Place du Lieutenant Georges Morel)
Make your way to the meeting point near the workshop; arrive a few minutes early to check in and take a pre-workshop photo together.
Tips from local experts:
- Arrive 10–15 minutes early with your booking confirmation and ID — it helps staff start the session smoothly.
- If mobility is a concern, request assistance from museum staff or a short taxi; the meeting spot is central and accessible.
- Use this time to refresh (restroom/quick touch-up) — the workshop begins shortly and is hands-on.
Pure Signature — 100% natural perfume creation workshop (golden-hour session)
Guided by an expert perfumer, select exceptional natural raw materials and compose a unique 30 ml perfume. Includes a personalized label and same-day 10% product discount.
Tips from local experts:
- As a couple, create complementary scents — one can focus on top notes, the other on base notes — then swap bottles as a keepsake.
- Ask the perfumer for pairing suggestions based on memories (a favorite place or scent) to craft a truly personal fragrance.
- Pure Signature is wheelchair accessible (item noted in provider details); your 30 ml creation and a personalised label are included — bring a small tote to carry fragile bottles safely.
Fragonard — boutique & quick gift shopping
After your workshop, browse Fragonard's Grasse boutique for classic French perfume souvenirs and small gift sets — perfect for romantic mementos.
Tips from local experts:
- Look for travel-size sprays and sample sets if you want to take multiple fragrances home without bulk.
- Ask staff about gift-wrapping — packaged purchases make elegant presents for loved ones back home.
- If you bought an extra fragrant item, tuck it in your bag away from heat; spring evenings are mild but still check the bottle caps.
Sunset square stroll — Place aux Aires (evening romantic moment)
Finish with a gentle stroll and a relaxed moment on Place aux Aires as the sky softens — enjoy the town's evening ambiance and the perfumes you've created.
Tips from local experts:
- Plan to sit on a low wall or bench and open your new perfume together — it's a special way to mark the day.
- If you want a final drink, ask a local (or your workshop host) for a nearby quiet café terrace for a nightcap.
- May sunsets are mild; bring a light wrap for the evening and take photos with the warm, golden light of spring.
