The Grand Musée du Parfum (French pronunciation: [ɡʁɑ̃ myze dy paʁfœ̃]) was a Paris perfumery museum that operated from December 22nd, 2016, to July 6th, 2018.
[3] It was founded by entrepreneur Guillaume de Maussion[4] whose ambition was to create a "scientific, creative and accessible" space.
[6] A 5-year partnership had been inked with the International Flavors & Fragrances, the museum had the support of Paris' Mayor Anne Hidalgo, of the Fédération des Entreprises de la Beauté and of the Syndicat Français de la Parfumerie.
It was once the residence of the Roederer champagne family and later the location of fashion house Christian Lacroix.
[3][5][7] Exhibits included a recreation of the laboratory of French perfume house Houbigant (founded in 1775 at 19, rue du Faubourg-Saint-Honoré), using items on loan from the Musée Carnavalet (the museum of the history of Paris).
