International perfume conservatory with a rich collection: guided tours and lectures.

The only one of its kind in the world. Inaugurated in 1990, this international perfume conservatory boasts a collection of 3,000 perfumes, including 400 that have disappeared. The Osmothèque holds formulas from all eras, from old grimoires or deposited by modern perfumers. Smell the perfume of the Kings of Parthia in the 1st century, or the eau de toilette of Napoleon I on St. Helena. Guided tours and olfactory conferences retrace the history of perfumery. A fascinating experience!

To say I am amazed is an understatement. Taking a private tour of the facility suited right in the heart of ISIPCA. I enjoyed exploring the real history of Perfumery from long lost fragrances to extinct/discontinued raw materials. Osmothèque is all it!! I hope to be back soon.
