Journey to the heart of raw materials

The Maison Molinard makes a point of selecting its raw materials, with particular emphasis on rare, noble and natural ingredients, sourced from Grasse and around the world.

Secret of the Distilloir

You'll enter the majestic Molinard distillery, a unique metal structure designed by the famous Gustave Eiffel. Amidst the copper stills, you'll learn about the various techniques used to extract the natural materials used in the composition of Molinard Perfumes!

La Savonnerie

Since the 1920s, La Maison Molinard has been making its vegetable oil-based soaps, available in a wide range of fragrances and colors. The Savonnerie welcomes an astonished and delighted public to witness this authentic production process in the heart of the Bastide!

The perfumer's laboratory

Discover behind-the-scenes at the heart of the Perfumer's 1930s laboratory, where everything is designed, created and composed...

Maceration tanks

Once the composition of a perfume is complete, it's time for maceration! The perfume concentrate must rest in specific vats, for varying lengths of time depending on the fragrance, before being bottled.

Perfume Workshops

Jean-Pierre Lerouge-Bénard's wish when he created L'Atelier des Parfums in 1994 was to introduce the perfumer's craft to the general public, to understand the architecture of a perfume and to tame the essences that make it up.
