"An interactive and multi-sensory journey" Created in 2007, the Jardins du MIP (JMIP) became, in 2010, the Conservatory of Perfumed Plants of the International Perfumery Museum: a natural space witness of the olfactory landscape linked to local agriculture. Located at the foot of the aromatic city, these 2.7-hectare botanical gardens offer a delicious and fragrant walk among May roses, jasmine, orange, tuberose, violet and many others. Perfumes are first born in plants, here or elsewhere. In the unique setting of the MIP Gardens, we discover and feel these species that have been supplying the precious raw materials of perfumery for centuries. At the same time, the Gardens are giving way to the fields of old-fashioned cultivation engaged in a «Refuge LPO» approach, faithfully reconstituted and maintained as naturally as possible. An opportunity to surprise a flora and fauna preserved in their richness. In 2022, the MIP Gardens receive the label «Remarkable Garden»
