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.

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