“We met in the lobby and then went through a 10 minute tour of the museum. After that we made our own perfumes, and then we went down the stairs to the shop where our guide taught us how to identify different categories of perfume "citrus, floral, and Oriental". It was amazing and our guide was very knowledgeable. She was also enthusiastic and very good at taking and answering questions. I would highly recommend this activity to anyone coming to Pairs.”
