Discover the history of French perfume through this exhibition presented by the Osmothèque in Versailles.
A true symbol of French craftsmanship and refinement, the art of perfumery has evolved over the centuries without ever losing its allure. From the Renaissance to contemporary creations, the exhibition traces this evolution through artifacts and documents that showcase the richness of this world.
Visitors are invited to explore centuries of history, ranging from 17th-century pharmaceutical texts to the latest olfactory compositions. Blending heritage, research, creativity, and luxury, the exhibition highlights the major developments that have shaped French perfumery and contributed to its international renown.
Bringing together works from the collections of various institutions, partners, and private collectors, the exhibition also offers a sensory experience featuring olfactory installations designed specifically for the occasion. It is a unique way to discover perfumery—engaging both memory and the senses—and to appreciate the significant role it plays in French heritage, past and present.
