2. Sharpen Your Olfactory Senses with a Perfume Tour and a Visit to the Perfume Museum
Paris Perfume Experiences, such as Paris perfume walking tours by Rendez-vous Parfum, are a unique way to explore Paris, its perfumeries and to learn all about its fascinating history. Photo courtesy of Rendez-vous Parfum.
There is no better place to learn about the Art of Perfumery, its history and trends than in Paris, France.
The Musée du Parfum is a fascinating experience for perfume lovers in Paris. The museum is home to a vast collection of perfume bottles and beauty products that date back as far as Ancient Egypt! There is also a large educational section where you will learn all about perfume, its history and the various scents throughout the ages.
If Musée du Parfum leaves you wanting more, head over to Sillages Paris, a perfume atelier where you can create your own unique scent!
Want to hit the streets for a unique walking tour of Perfumeries in Paris? Check out Rendez-vous Parfum for walking perfume tours. I’ve been on this tour myself and had an absolute blast! I learned so much about the art of perfume and got to explore unique perfume ateliers around the city.

Shopping for makeup in Paris is fun but can overwhelm tourists - especially if you are not familiar with Paris, makeup, or the French language.
Paris has makeup shops all over the city, and it is important to know that English-speaking associates vary from store-to-store. If you’re a beauty addict who wants to experience all the makeup Paris can offer, check out my Paris Makeup Shopping Spree + Lesson experience, or WATCH the video below.
Once scheduled, we will discuss your beauty goals, review what products and brushes you own already, create a makeup shopping list, and hit the Paris beauty shops! Don’t worry, I’ll handle all the translations and make sure you walk out with products perfect for your skin and your budget.
Afterwards, you will learn how to apply your makeup using all your new products during a 1-on-1, personalized makeup lesson!
