Musée du Parfum
About This Museum
Tucked away in a quiet alley off the bustling Rue Diour Saboun—a street whose name literally means 'Street of the Makers of Soap'—the Musée du Parfum is an oasis of calm and scent. Stepping inside feels like entering a secret garden for the senses, far from the city's frantic energy. It’s less a traditional museum and more an immersive journey into the very soul of Moroccan perfumery, where you don't just see history, you breathe it in.
Collection Highlights
You can get up close to the raw ingredients that define iconic scents, from vast displays of rose petals and amber to jars of precious oud and spicy saffron. The real showstopper is the 'Nose' table, an interactive installation that lets you test your own sense of smell against a master perfumer's palette.
Visitor Information
It's a wonderfully compact experience, perfect for a one or two-hour escape. Given its location in the medina, it's best reached on foot—keep an eye out for the small signs pointing the way down Derb Chérif.
Architecture & Building
Housed within a beautifully restored Marrakech riad, the museum itself is a classic example of Moroccan architecture, featuring a serene central courtyard with a small fountain, ornate zellij tiling, and rooms that open onto shaded balconies.
