Parfumerie Fragonard

This is my second visit to Fragonard and I’m happy I accidentally stumbled by it again. The place is exactly how I remembered it from years ago.
They offer perfume, body lotion, and skincare at Fragonard. I wasn’t as interested in the other products, except the perfume. The packaging is simple and different from retail, but you are also paying a lot less than retail.
If you can’t make up your mind on which perfume to purchase, the best deal is get the bundle package of 5. They have different sizes to choose from and you can handpick which bottle you want for your bundle. Each sales person will help you guide through the various perfume and help you find your style of preference. It’s a good idea to know what type of notes you like in your perfume to help narrow down the search.
Tour is available here, but you’ll have to inquire and request one if you’re interested. Overall, a great stop if you’re visiting the hillside town of Eze.
PS They offer free parking in their private lot.

I wandered into the Fragonard Factory one rainy afternoon after having climbed Nietzsche’s path for an hour.
I was headed to Eze’s village but took a wrong exit. The receptionist was kind enough to offer me some water and a quick tour of the factory. The scents were absolutely Divine and intoxicating. My tour guide Astrid was very knowledgeable and explained the factory’s start and family history. The factory itself was beautiful, definitely a gem in the south of France.

Personally, I wouldn’t make a special trip to visit Fragonard. It’s like the Murano glass factory in Venice. They take you on a tour with the expectation that you may possibly purchase their product (s). Granted they are selling quality products, but it is not worth a special trip.

Have you ever seen how perfume, soap, creams, lotions, potions or anything in the cosmetics field is made? Probably not! I was mesmerized in their laboratory. You can have a tour of the actual laboratory and smell various local scents and watch products being made, or just go to the store portion of the building where you have the option of buying their products (because you will want to).
Like everything else in the Cote d’Azur, the drive up a hill is breathtaking in itself, but once you get up it’s even more beautiful. Èze, the remarkable village on the hill is not very far from Nice. You can take a bus from Nice, but be warned certain ones don’t come that often, and some don’t run on Sundays, so check before!
Back to the Fragonard…
The women who work here don’t care if you linger around smelling anything and everything that catches your eye, and will certainly help you if need be, or if you are looking for something for a special someone.
They have sets available of certain scents, as well as individual products. I think the sets are a tad overpriced, but at least your know how and where they are made! I would opt for getting different, smaller sizes of various scents and products, but the sets make a very special gift… and yes, men, they carry products for you too!
I bought a lemon, argan oil moisturizer/​hair serum/​face serum and have already ran out of it! I also bought a small size of perfume and only use it for oh so special occasions, with fear of it running out as well. Now their perfume is expensive, but they have scents that I have never smelled before, seriously. $ 60 will get you a 30ml bottle of pure perfume (15−40%) concentration of scents… not to be mixed up with eau de de parfum (15−20%) or eau de toilette (5−15%).
However I guess if my perfume does run out it gives me another reason to visit this spectacular place. (:

All I can say is that this place is lovely !
If you ever find yourself in Eze I strongly suggest you pay a visit to the «Fragonard Laboratoire. «This perfumerie is located at the highest point this Eze, on the side of a giant cliff which over looks the entire city and ocean, the view is breath taking.
Fragonard specializes in making perfume, soap and skin care products from local flowers and plants found in the region. I strongly recommend taking a tour. The staff teach you entire the process of how they extract the sent from the plants and flowers to the finished product. PLUS. at the end of the tour you can purchase/​create your own perfume based on the collection of fragrances they have on hand at the time.
Within the Fragonard Laboratoire houses their shop where you can buy any of their products. While I was there I bought my parents a gift set of soaps, each soap is made from a different flower found in the region of Eze, they smelt AMAZING, plus they were wrapped so pretty my parents were fearful of opening it up. I bought a travel size of custom perfume made from orange extract, I kinda regret not getting a larger bottle. oh well I now have a reason to go back and visit :)
