Perfume Museum, Escaldes-Engordany Parish, Andorra
3.5 (55 reviews) Spent Ranking #8 in Escaldes-Engordany Speciality Museums
A nice learning lesson on perfume through ages!
This was a nice interesting learning experience about perfumes going way back. Well located in front of the Illa-Carlemagny shopping centre. However, the staff on the tour did not speak either French or English. Andorra wants to be international but they almost stick to Spanish and Catalan which is not obvious for people coming from other countries. This is to be improved otherwise it's fine.

stroll down history lane
The perfume museum is a private collection in a store, so don't expect an exhaustive academic approach. Yet, the collection has charming and personal touches - starting from a Roman perfume bottle found on the Iberian penninsula, to the fav fragrances of movie stars. And of course all the brands you ever used, or your mom. Fun to visit.

Perfume BOTTLE Museum
First, you must know that this "museum" is owned by the Julia chain of perfume stores. As such, it heavily promotes Julia products. The museum is essentially a display of perfume bottles from Ancient Egypt until today. There are very few explanations about the bottles but an introductory video explains the origins of perfume-making. The most interesting and interactive part of the exhibit was the scent-making machine that lets you mix four different essences to 'compose' your own scent. The visit lasts 20 to 40 minutes.
