Fragonard Parfumeur established the museum in 1983, within a Napoleon III town-house built in 1860.[2] Its rooms contain period furnishings and perfume exhibits, including antique perfume bottles, containers, toiletry sets, and stills for steam distillation of perfume extracts.[3] Displays show how perfumes are made today and present the history of perfume manufacturing and packaging. A perfume organ on display has tiers of ingredient bottles arranged around a balance used to mix fragrances.[1]
In 2014, the Fragonard company acquired ownership of the real estate site located at the address of the Square de l'Opéra.
