Paris Perfume Week 2026

Categories : Exhibition, Lifestyle, published on : 3/8/26

The Major Perfume Event in Paris

This spring, Paris offers exceptional lifestyle experiences blending culture, creativity, and craftsmanship. After fashion, gastronomy, and design, the world of perfume now takes centre stage with the highly anticipated Paris Perfume Week, an unmissable event for enthusiasts from around the globe.

For its 2026 edition, this unique celebration of olfactory culture will take place for the first time at the prestigious Palais Brongniart, the former Paris Stock Exchange. A must-visit for lovers of haute perfumery… and an ideal outing during a stay at the Hôtel Fabric Paris.

A Week Dedicated to the Culture of Perfume

Created by Nez, the olfactory cultural movement, Paris Perfume Week has quickly become the leading event devoted to contemporary perfumery.

Following its first two editions in Paris, a summer edition in Grasse—the historic cradle of perfumery—and its first international edition in Shanghai, the 2026 edition marks a new milestone.

Over several days, whether you are passionate, curious, or a professional, you can explore all aspects of perfume creation in an environment that is educational, artistic, and sensory.

150 Haute Perfumery Brands Gathered

Paris Perfume Week will bring together nearly 150 perfume houses and brands from around the world. Visitors will be able to:

discover contemporary creations
meet independent perfumers
experience rare and surprising ingredients
explore legendary fragrances

It promises a full immersion in the world of perfume, combining artistic innovation with artisanal expertise.

Conferences, Workshops, and Encounters

During the three days at Palais Brongniart, the programme will be particularly rich:

around fifty conferences and panel discussions
workshops on raw materials
signings and meetings with creators

The renowned Smell Talks will give a platform to perfumers, scientists, artists, and industry experts.

Meanwhile, the Behind the Scent programme will highlight the professions within the perfume sector: growers, essence producers, “noses”, and olfactory designers.

Olfactory Installations and Immersive Exhibitions

Beyond the perfume stands, visitors can also enjoy:

artistic olfactory installations
perfume-focused exhibitions
a specialised bookshop curated by Éditions Nez

These sensory experiences invite you to rediscover perfume as a true artistic language, capable of evoking memories and emotions.

From 9 to 11 April, Paris Perfume Week will also extend across the city with a programme of off-site events.

Around thirty venues in Paris will host special events, including:

meetings with perfumers
thematic conferences
sensory workshops
unique olfactory experiences

It’s a fantastic way to explore the city from a different perspective.
