    (Translated by Google) A wonderful museum with a collection made up of pieces that are difficult to find elsewhere. A true journey through time amid the charms of fragrances and bottles that are true jewels. Totally recommendable. Wonderful museum! (Original) Un maravilloso museo con un acervo formado por piezas difíciles de encontrar en otro lugar. Un verdadero viaje en el tiempo en medio de los encantos de fragancias y frascos que son verdaderas joyas. Totalmente recomendable. Museu maravilloso!

    Entrance fee is €5 for something that is not worth more than €2. It's a small room full of perfume bottles, nice ones, sure, but there's no explanation whatsoever and therefore you learn nothing and just wonder what are these things you're looking at. There is no introduction, no staff. They just take your money, not even nicely, and show you the way to the room. Then you go in and just regret going there.

    It is mostly a tourist scam! - there is no explanation what so ever! Just names or at most in a whole section one sentence in Spanish. - what kind of perfume museum doesn't let you smell anything?! I have been to a couple of perfume museums and I am very disappointed with this one. If you like to look at flasks behind glass, then come in, but if you are looking for an experience then save your time and money and stay away!

    This is the most exquisite collection I have seen. The ancient ceramics are fantastic. The unique pieces such as the Salvador Dali bottle or the Marie Antoinette set are well worth the visit. What a delightful surprise in the middle of town and an inexpensive museum as well.

    (Translated by Google) It’s hard to find, as it is hidden inside the building behind the window of the Regia perfume store near Casa Batlló. For amateur jars, bottles, fragrances, entrance 5 euros (Original) Сложно найти,так как спрятан внутри здания за витриной парфюмерного магазина Regiа возле Дома Бальо.На любителя-баночки,флакончики,ароматы,вход 5 евро

  • 3/5 Luis R. 7 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) It is a good collection and exhibition of perfumes, but it is missing to be a museum with an entry of € 5 an explanation by the staff, or written material, a guide, to understand the exhibits. Still, it is worth it for lovers of this world (Original) Es una buena colección y exposición de perfumes, pero se hecha de menos para ser un museo con una entrada de 5€ una explicación por el personal, o material escrito, una guía, para entender los objetos expuestos. Aún así, merece la pena para los amantes de este mundo

    (Translated by Google) Museum full of history and objects, lots of bottles, certainly the space is small but there is plenty to see for its price (5 €) (Original) Musée bien chargé en histoire et en objets, beaucoup de flacons, certes l'espace est petit mais il y a beaucoup de choses à voir pour son prix (5€)

    (Translated by Google) The Perfume Museum of Barcelona, ​​officially and in Catalan Museu del Perfum, is a museum located in Paseo de Gracia in Barcelona. It was inaugurated in the middle of 1961 in order to show the public the evolution of perfume bottles and containers through history and geography. (Original) El Museo del Perfume de Barcelona, oficialmente y en catalán Museu del Perfum, es un museo ubicado en Paseo de Gracia de Barcelona. Fue inaugurado a mediados del 1961 con la finalidad de mostrar al público la evolución de los frascos y recipientes de perfumes a través de la historia y la geografía.

  • 5/5 Alexandr R. 6 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) Crossing the door almost bursts the explosion of smells inside. It will wrap hundreds of beautiful little bottles that hide their secret smell. (Original) Al cruzar la puerta casi tumba la explosión de olores que hay dentro. Envontrará centenares de botellitas preciosas quecada una esconde su olor secreta.

  • 4/5 Iñaki Alonso de la H. 7 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) Very interesting museum with collectibles difficult to find elsewhere. The first showcases are dedicated to ancient cultures. In my opinion the only downside is the somewhat high price. (Original) Museo muy interesante con piezas de colección difíciles de encontrar en otro lugar. Las primeras vitrinas están dedicadas a las culturas antiguas. En mi opinión la única pega es el precio algo elevado.

  • 1/5 Jitka L. 7 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) € 5 to just see a collection of perfume. Not even a word of explanation for the different perfumes. Certainly not worth the effort to visit. (Original) €5 om gewoon een verzameling parfum te zien. Niet eens een woordje uitleg bij de verschillende parfums. Zeker niet de moeite om te bezoeken.

    The museum was great- with an extensive collection. I am a perfume bottle collector but I was truly impressed by their collection. I would have left more stars but the salesperson from out front at the perfume store first told me the museum was not open, but that was untrue. When I said their website stated it was open for about 4 more hours she relented. It only took her 30 seconds for her to get a key but she said “you have to pay to see it.” I assumed I would need to pay something, I didn’t expect nor ask to get in free - it is €3 for locals, €5 for non-residents. She was a bit more polite later, telling me to enjoy the collection, but I just don’t “get” why she started out by saying it wasn’t open. I did enjoy the collection immensely but was put off by her initial attitude.

  • 4/5 Krzysztof M. 1 year ago on Google
    Tickets are relatively expensive, but the museum is located in a very tourist-oriented place and right next to Casa Batllo, so this is kind of understandable. The museum is small and limited to a display of perfume bottles organized in a chronological order. Huge time gaps and missing links when you know what to look for. Still, nice walk around for a few minutes. There is a perfume shop right next to it

    I wanted to visit the museum but the employees at the front looked me up and down and were so dry that I decided not to waste my money. Hire a better staff.

  • 3/5 Nuria V. 4 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) Museum of bottles and containers for perfume from ancient times to today, ideal for collectors of commercial bottles. They can not be smelled. The ticket for tourists is € 5 and for residents € 3, you do not have to prove anything. (Original) Museu de botelles i recipients per a perfum des de l'antiguitat als nostres dies, ideal per a coleccionistes d'ampolles comercials. No es poden olorar. L'entrada per als turistes és de 5€ i per als residents 3€, no cal acreditar-se amb res.

    (Translated by Google) It’s very general, there’s no test, only a variety of perfume bottles, I don’t think it’s worth 5 euros. (Original) 实在很一般,没有试闻的,只有各式各样的香水瓶,觉得不值5欧的票价

  • 2/5 Leone Z. 1 year ago on Google
    If you are an industrial designer(student) or a parfume freak, it may be interesting, since they have a relatively good parfume flask collection sorted in a timeline. (and ofc get yourself the Barcelona Card so you don't have to pay) Other than that, it's not worth the money nor the time.

    (Translated by Google) The museum is quite interesting. The store at the museum is just a perfumery, it's a pity that they don't have their own products (Original) Muzeum całkiem ciekawe. Sklep przy muzeum to zwykła perfumeria, szkoda że nie mają własnych wyrobów

  • 1/5 Mercedes R. 5 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) I do not recommend it. It is a single room with a few display cabinets containing some containers and bottles of cologne, but nothing worthwhile. There is no guide, they don't even give you information. You enter through a perfumery. The staff are not customer oriented. It was a disappointment. (Original) No lo recomiendo. Es una sólo sala con unas cuantas vitrinas que contienen algunos recipientes y frascos de colonia, pero nada que merezca la pena. No hay guía, ni siquiera te dan información. Se entra por una perfumería. El personal nada orientado al cliente. Fue una desilusión.

  • 1/5 Lucía Victoria D. 5 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) Although the collection is incredible, they do not tell you anything about the history of perfumes, or how they are made. There is only one huge book to flip through. The entrance fee is expensive for the little you learn. (Original) Si bien la colección es increíble, no te cuentan nada de la historia de los perfumes, ni de como se hacen. Solo hay un libro enorme que se puede hojear. El precio de la entrada es caro para lo poco que se aprende.
