Museum housed in an rococo house, with hundreds of objects illustrating 300 years of perfume-making.

This rococo house of the family of the great 18th century perfumer Jean-Marie Farina (1685-1766), which claims to be the mother house of eau de Cologne, has been transformed into a fascinating museum of perfume. From the cellars to the laboratories, from the oils themselves to their manufacturing tools and the bottles, the museum gathers hundreds of objects testifying to 300 years of perfume manufacturing. Patrick Süskind is said to have been inspired by Farina, an obsessive lover of scents, to write his novel Le Parfum.

Découverte d'un vrai atelier et aussi du savoir-faire de la vraie eau de Cologne ! Pas un attrape touriste !

La visite de la première vraie parfumerie du monde et le lieu de creation de l'authentique eau de cologne ! De nombreuses explication nous sont données sur l'histoire de ce produit et sur sa confection. La visite (en costume d’époque !) se fait uniquement sur réservation mais est disponible dans toutes les langues (dont le français). A recommander a tous ceux qui visitent la ville.

Musée très intéressant qui revient sur l'histoire du parfum et de l'eau de Cologne. Le guide est très chaleureux et les anecdotes très intéressantes. De plus, le fait de repartir avec un échantillon d'eau de Cologne est un vrai point positif.
