The hills around town still grow the jasmine, rose and tuberose that go into some of the world&#8217;s most famous fragrances. It is compact, walkable and full of character, which makes it the perfect break from the beach: cooler air, old stone streets, and a craft you can actually take part in.<\/p>\n<p>The real draw is that most of it is <strong>hands-on and often free<\/strong>. You can tour a working perfumery, learn how a scent is built, and then sit down with a &#8220;nose&#8221; and <strong>blend a bottle that is entirely yours<\/strong>. Do that in the morning and you are back on the coast for lunch.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"houses\">The three great perfume houses<\/h2>\n<p>Grasse&#8217;s three historic maisons all offer <strong>free factory tours<\/strong> and paid <strong>make-your-own-perfume workshops<\/strong>.
