Grasse originally became famous for tanning leather, but this all changed in the 16th when the fashion for perfumed leather gloves - made famous by Catherine de Nedici, was more lucrative. Three major perfume houses still exist in the town, Fragonard, Molinard and Galimard. You can even create your own perfume for around 40Euro if you visit Molinard's perfumery and museum. And no other woman will have the same perfume!
