Perfum creation workshop

Grasse
Galimard’ s Studio des Fragrances
was developed to reveal the secret of perfume making which has until recently always been closed to the public. You have no doubt dreamt of the day you would find your own personal fragrance. One that is exclusively you. The scents and smells that will remind you of fond memories, of people, places and things which seduced you. A scent uniquely “you”, one which will distinguish you from all others.

In the ”Studio des Fragrances”, a Perfumer will change you into a Perfume creator. Galimard has been the pioneer and recognized leader in this art since launching its first Studio des Fragrances in 1996. Comfortably seated at your organ of 127 notes, you will discover the different base products and the techniques used to combine them harmoniously.

Prices are dynamic based on travel dates. Please proceed to Book Now or Contact Us for details.

Can you book my international airfares?

On some Islands Holiday Packages (e.g. Fiji), it is practical to include flights, so where we have done this it is indicated by the plane icon.

However, on the majority of our Holiday Packages, we do not include international flights.

We found that many customers may prefer to:

  • Travel on a specific airline of their choice
  • Have the flexibility to book flights with Frequent Flyer points
  • Select flight dates that may be different to our Holiday Package start/end dates
  • Use a Travel Credit already held with the airline
  • Use their travel agent for this service

We are able to assist with flights on any Holiday Package, so please just notify us during the Book Now process or contact our team.

Should I take travel insurance?

Travel insurance is strongly recommended. During the Book Now process please confirm you require assistance, and our team will be in contact with you.

What should I do before travelling?

Before you travel it is your responsibility to ensure you have the appropriate documentation including visas. If you are travelling on a passport other than Australian or New Zealand, you will require a permit to re-enter Australia. It is your responsibility as the traveller and/or travel booker to meet all government entry requirements.
